Just to let you know I've tried again to get the desktop to work with the Lexmark printer but the result is the same. I am sure the latest "cups" and other updates have all been installed for Ubuntu 11.10 64 (including the Kernel to 3.0.0-14-generic(x86-64) the 32bit version doesn't seem to be available for my laptop). I have the Ubuntu 12.04 pre-Alpha in VirtualBox but I'm not sure if the printer would work correctly through VirtualBox without add-ons as I have never had to use it that way. John
