Well, Lexmark seems to be using GNU/Linux on their printers... at least T or X 644 and 850 have a 2.6.6 kernel version reply...
AAAND there is glibs and gtk sources on their drivers CDs...
im still trying to open a firmware but im unable to doit:( would be nice to load some apps inside the printer...
if anyone have an idea, the firmware is inside a PJL job starting with:
@PJL LPROGRAMRIP SOCKET=17 KERNELCOUNT=298946 TYPECOUNT=394578 KERNELENCR=3
u
(saw that with less)
sample file: ftp.dell.com/Printer/LS_ST_E213a_updeng.fls
NOW its an all MS shop:P i work there and let me say, they had sold their soul to ms, i never saw linux in there, may be an apache, with default settings and page on a windows machine, they even use "virtual pc" i have an XP, i can not boot my linux pen drive, for security... (dont ask) even the proxy is MS+ websense
BTW they have EDS-MS certified fan boys, some of them dont know about linux and, regardless if they now or not, they hate *nix because its hards and all that FUD (must be part of the MS certifing program) Just think on this they are preparing the vista deploy!:S of course office 07 and IE too.
