Using the Lexmark Printer & Fax as well as sharing the print service with Linux is easy if you follow this guide. Unfortunately you cannot share the FAX services but this is Linux and there are better choices for FAXing anyway.

1. Using Ubuntu (or your preferred Linux distribution), connect the Lexmark x4270 to your PC via the USB cord.
2. Use the printer settings dialogue to configure the printer but be sure to select "shared" and to change the print driver to the Lexmark Z42.

Windows clients can now connect to the shared printer via a URL similiar to http://linuxPCsIP:631/printers/4200_Series Be sure to select the Lexmark Z42 for the print driver as well.
