    I need to get my Dell Photo 926 printer to work with my ubuntu 10.4 system. I know the whole lexmark-ubuntu thing is a pain, but could someone find me a way to do this. There must be a way!! I know a tech guy fixed this problem for someone I know but they have no idea what they did.

    Thanks.

    It's really a Lexmark Z600 rebadged, for which there are drivers.

    Bad wording on another site lead to worse wording by me. Dell printers in general are rebadged Lexmarks. The Lexmark Z600 driver works for many of them as a result.

    From what I can Google, the Z600 Linux driver works for the 920 but not the 926.

    Post 2 here says the 926 is a rebadged Lexmark X3650. Lexmark have an X3650 printer driver that works on Ubuntu 10.04 here. Going by the version number and release date, this is quite a recent addition... Lexmark's Linux support improving at long last?

    Let us know if it works for the 926.
