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.

A really really long shot.
Heres a forum related to the X2650 but point to a driver that cold be generic if newtusmaximus's info does not work.

Just boot the linux pc up with the printer plugged in  switched on and see if it registers.   

menu/system/system information/Devices/printers/   The printer should be listed  and click listing.

Any problems, let us know.  Good luck

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)
