I have recently changed to Linux Ubuntu, but now my printer won't work. I have a Lexmark P4350. There is obviously no driver in Linux for this printer. Is there some way I can still use this printer , or do I have to buy a compatible new one?

How to make 2008 printers to print wirelessly in Ubuntu Linux. So far this work around is only applicable to 2008 products with Linux support.
1. Install any 2009 Linux printer driver – The purpose of installing any 2009
printer driver is to get lxnet. Currently, the 2008 printers don't have the
lxnet.
Not lexnet nor lexnet3 but lxnet... NOTE: If you misspelled this one -
you will get an error... during CUPS or during printing..
2. Install the
2008 Linux driver for the printer.
3. Copy lxnet from
/usr/lexinkjet/lxk09/bin/ to /usr/lexinkjet/08zero/bin.
From terminal:
sudo cp /usr/lexinkjet/lxk09/bin/lxnet /usr/lexinkjet/08zero/bin/
4. Add wireless printer through CUPS.
URI: lxnet://<ip address>:1/ Not lexnet nor lexnet3 but
lxnet... NOTE: If you misspelled this one - you will get an error..."bad
device uri" or "client not possible"

Did you try just plugging it in? If you run Ubuntu Karmic, or another recent flavor of linux, it may just work right away. In fact, this has been the case with every printer that I've tried with Ubuntu Karmic. No driver needed! To check, plug in your printer, and wait for a while while Linux recognises your new hardware. If it works, it will say your printer is ready to use.
If this doesn't work, check out this page to see if a driver is available for your printer:

Good luck!
Hi. Yes, your printer will run on LinuxUbuntu 9.10. There is a driver available for download in the Lexmark website. Just click on this link. http://bit.ly/cXIEFa . Click on Linux/Unix tab on the center of the page. Download the Linux driver for Debian Package Manager based distros with filename: lexmark-08z-series-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh.tar.gz. Hope this helps.
