Hi all on OS/2 ISP and OS/2 genau lists We have an opportunity to buy (if we choose to accept it) a Lexmark X215 MFP multi-function printer with fax scanner and copier facilities. Black only, 16 ppm, specs look very much like the HP 3380 model. Does anyone know if there are any decent OS/2-eCS drivers for it? I have searched Lexmark, Google (lots of multi-lingual hits but precious little in English), OS/2 Device Driver Online OS/2 World and OS2.warp.be I must confess to not hearing OS/2 and Lexmark in the same sentence for a long time.

From looking at the specs, I would guess not. I don't see any support for Mac or Linux, and the printer language does not list Postscript. -- Chuck McKinnis Covenant Solutions http://www.7cities dot net/~mckinnis/os2/ 505-286-3191 "You can't defeat 1000 armed dwarfs merely by being not-romantic."

Printer part should work fine as long as its Lexmark/IBM PCL or PS but not the fax/scanner part, no OS/2 drivers for it as far as I'm aware, so it will be an expensive OS/2 Printer, unless you want it only as a fax machine that you can print to as well.
