my Uncle had this old PC , a dell , 10 years old, used to be a windows XP home, well i installed linux lite 3,8.
its old , it runs slow , its a 32bit desktop. runs good .
he is buying a new PC and Printer. interestingly enough my old Uncle is using linux just fine(with my help) ha ha .
now the challenge is to get his lexmark X2350 to work , at least print stuff, its a "all-in-one" printer , (scans and prints) .
i know its a paper weight , i like to see if i can get it to work .
i know back in the day , dells printers was a re branded lexmark printer.
is there a way to maybe get his printer to work ?. maybe a driver for it ?.
i say thanks to all those who reply and help, i know printers are a pain.
but ohhhhhh the challenge . 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
i want to say thank you, hugs to all, :-* .
i will let you know if this worked or not, the next time i am over at my Uncles house .
i hope the ideas given will work, i will keep you posted. ? ? ?

UPDATE: 3-18-18.
no luck on my Uncle printer, its still a paper weight , but i learned something from it all, things i needed to learn, i had fun, and i say thank you to two people "TheDead" and "newtusmaximus" .
i believe i am done with his printer, ha ha , it is really old. and he is going to buy a new set up, when he can find the time. he can come to my house for printing needs for now.

From the Help Manual https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/hardw...ml#printer
And if your Uncle is running 32bit LL
this link is called out:
http://support.lexmark.com/index?docLoca...rlocale=EN
Might be worth another shot...
it is listed as not supported, its ok, i learned more about how the terminal works , i like using the terminal , learning is fun. he will come to my house if he needs too, plus i get to see my uncle more, family is everything. hugs . soooooo, what cheap "All-in-one" should he buy ?. not a lexmark, they are now or soon to be out of business any ways .

Hope its not considered thread highjacking but I downloaded the linux driver archive from the Lexmark link above.I was able to extract the .deb.sh installer but on running it, it asks for the root password - admin password is not accepted. Has anyone succeeded in installing this driver and if so how?
sudo su from the terminal then run.
