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)

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

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.

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.

I just setup my Father on a cheap all in one. All I had to do was plug it in and change over from another printer and make this one default and delete the other one after we tested it out.

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?
1) Lenovo T520 i5 LL3.8 8GB ram, fast & stable
2) Medion P4 32bit LL3.8 1GB ram, quite fast & stable
3) eeePC 901 32bit LL3.8 1GB ram, fast & stable
4) eeePC 701 32bit LL3.8 1GB ram, slower & stable but small and light enough to travel with me to New Zealand when visiting family in Blenheim.
