Thread: Installling printer fails

hi.

i'm using ubuntu 10.10 , i'm trying install lexmark s305.
followed instructions on lexmark website. when starting install, system asks me administrator password continue. receive message password incorrect.....????
password works fine when install other programs or when login administrator. tried install driver while being logged in administrator, keeps telling me i'm using wrong password.

ideas?

in advance,

jos

thanks , coments, everybody!

i've installed printer doing following:

1. connect user root/admin privileges
2. open terminal
3. go directory in driver installation file *sh located
4. submit command: sudo ./*sh

...and then, big surprise, driver wizzard didn't ask root password more.

lexmark printer prints fine now.
