I have a printer Lexmark X6675. The only driver available for it is 32-bit but I want to run a 64-bit system. Is there any way to use the native driver supplied by Lexmark?

I have the X6550. You might have good luck also using getlibs. (It has always operated "magically" well for me.) If getlibs is available in the 10.04 repos, you can install it like so:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

If not, download getlibs from http://frozenfox.freehostia.com/cappy/getlibs-all.deb or search for an alternate location and then install the DEB package:

sudo dpkg -i getlibs-all.deb

Then you run it...

sudo getlibs program_name

It finds, downloads, and installs all of the 32-bit libs needed for applications. You can also do it for libraries...

sudo getlibs -l libxxx-yyy.so.1

Success?
