	Hello,

	the current lexmakr backend only supports the early X110 series model. I 
allready found that while having the same USB ID, the X1185 has a diffrent 
sensor, so current backend won't work.

	I'm currently modifying the lexmark backend to add support for X1185 and 
X1200, and also getting current X1100 color calibration right. You may try a 
snapshot of these current developpements. You can get pre-configured sources 
at http://stef.dev.free.fr/sane/lexmark .
	I expect this version to detect your scanner as a X1185, and be able to do a 
preview (only 75 dpi scans could be working), but with colours slightly wrong 
since colour calibration hasn't been tuned yet.

regards,
	Stef
