    I purchased a Lexmark inkjet printer after finding Linux drivers on
    the Lexmark WWW page. I got rid of the printer a couple of months
    later due to many printing problems. Purchased an Epson and havn't
    had any problems yet. The Epson was cheaper than the Lexmark ink
    cartridges that were causing me all my problems.

    Fedora installed and recognized the printer from scratch. The only
    problem I had was with "The Gimp" and that was a simple configuration.
