yes, it works fine, networked, on my ubuntu machine, XSANE is ok with it. I tried looking somewhere for settings, but really i don't have a clue of what to do to understand any further. Maybe lexmark's driver does all of it, but i really don't know how to look inside.

In Xsane, check File > Info. This will show you the device URI and the loaded backend.
Also, if you run the CUPS web interface at localhost:631, what URI does Ubuntu use with the printer? Is it also socket?

Try the following from the command line in Puppy
| Code: | | xsane LexmarkLegacy_1_0_0:/libnet/0020008E77CE |
| Quote: | Driver: Lexmark Pro700 Series, 1.0 (color, 2-sided printing)
Connection: lxhcp://0020008E77CE |
In CUPS, try doing a manual install using the above URI. Pick LPD/LPR for the protocol.

when i type
xsane LexmarkLegacy_1_0_0:/libnet/0020008E77CE
xsane says: "scanning for devices". After about 5 seconds an error window appears saying it failed to open the device LexmarkLegacy_1_0_0:/libnet/0020008E77CE, and that the operation is not supported.
In cups, do you mean i have to delete my printer (now with the socket setup) and reinstall it using LPD/LPR? or must i add a printer with LPD/LPR settings keeping this one with the socket settings?

That's too bad. The Ubuntu installer is doing something extra to set up network scanning.
Did we ever confirm that LexmarkLegacy_1_0_0 works as a USB backend? It would be nice to know that for sure.

You can keep your current socket printer.

Just plug it in with a USB cable and run Xsane.

Without having your exact setup, it's impossible to tell what the Ubuntu installer is doing with this unit.
Did you ever try the printer setup I suggested? That might provide some hints.
