I don't quite agree. I've been able to install a driver developed by 
Martin Michelsen, and my P3150 is printing just fine. Only a few little 
problems, but working on them right now (thanks, Martin!). On my side, 
I'm working on putting the scanner to work. I prefer Lexmark printers 
because of the features and printing quality. Epson printers lacks the 
features, and HP cartridges are too expensive (in my country, HP 
cartridges are 1/4 of an average monthly salary each!).

So, check this link, and see if this driver works with your X1185:

Hope this helps.
