	Hello,

	do you mean you are disassembling the windows driver ? I think this 
should be avoided for legal reasons. 
	Sniffing means using a program that records USB activity during scans 
done under windows so one can look at them and figure out the protocol.
	If you double checked the X74 is rts8852 based, you can send patches to 
the mailing list for the lexmark backend.

Regards,
	Stef
