Some extra information for you:
The translatable source code strings I’m referring to, are string 376 and 622. I use the Ubuntu .pot file as a reference (maybe the Fedora .pot file uses a different string numbering, but I don’t suppose so).

When you would adapt those, you’d probably also want to adapt string 655. For two reasons: you’d want to have the new name in it, and also you may want to change the menu path it refers to. Because that’s a Gnome 2 path, and therefore largely outdated.

Regards, Pjotr.

Hello Tim,

As a downstream translator for Ubuntu, I find the translatable menu item “Printing” in the source code, a bit confusing. It tends to be translated into things like “Busy with printing” etc.

I myself made that mistake once, too… One of those highly visible translation errors that haunt a poor translator for months, creating outcry in the user community.

Would you perhaps consider changing the menu item “Printing” into something like “Print Settings”, “Print Manager”, “Printing Management”, or something roughly along those lines?

Regards, Pjotr.

I think you might be out of luck I'm afraid -- according to the list of Lexmark printers at OpenPrinting.org that model is not known to be supported, and all the similar model numbers are listed in the section for printers that have no support at all.

I have a Linux OS and a Lexmark x6675 and unable to print although it shows the local host is connected.
What do I need to do to fix this issue. Please email me.

Thank You ,

In fact, simply connecting the printer to the computer is usually all that is needed when using Fedora, and the same is true for many other Linux distributions.

If you have a network printer, just start the printing configuration tool and follow the instructions.

Sorry I can’t be more specific — you haven’t said which operating system you are using in particular (Fedora, Ubuntu, etc), and they are a bit different.
