<div><div dir="ltr">Would this perhaps be somewhat of a starting point to obtain a currently installed printer-driver on an Ubuntu 10.04 computer? The problem I am having is that the 'Lexmark X5070' printer I have has no driver available on the Lexmark website for Ubuntu 12.04. Someone suggested I may be able to retain the current print driver and install it on Ubuntu 12.04. I know I can read more but suggestions are welcome.<br>
