I cannot seem to get my printer (Lexmark x2500) working with my sisters 2.16 MB running 10.5.1. I could not get it to print also in 10.4.10. The printer is connected to a Windows computer and I am trying to add it over the network. I have installed the driver from Lexmark but no luck. When I was in Tiger, I was able to get the printer feed a paper through, though, not printing any text. It also brought up a screen on the Windows computer saying it was printing and the percent that has gone through even though nothing happened. Every time I try to print in Leopard, it says there is some sort of error on the Mac end. The print screen does not go on. I really need to get this working because I am going to be ordering a MBP within the next couple of days and really need to use the printer.

After suggestions from another forum, I have made sure that it is shared. The computer that the printer is on is fully on and not in sleep mode or off. I have also installed Bonjour for Windows on that computer and Bonjour Printer Wizard says, "No Bonjour Printers are availible." All of the Windows computer I have tried on run Windows XP as well as the computer that has the printer attached to it.

After trying to get it working all ways I know how, I am at a total loss. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I have found the problem, but not a solution. I need Gimp-Print or Gutenprint drivers for the Lexmark x2580 but none exist. I have heard that the Z25-Z35 drivers will work for the x2580 but none of those exist for Leopard. I have also heard that there may be a workaround. Can anyone explain this to me?

You did mention that you've tried installing the Lexmark drivers but just to double-check, did you install this one: Drivers and Downloads

It says that it is specifically a 10.5.x driver so if what you've tried is the earlier version you may need to try this one.
