There is an open source driver at sourceforge which worked fine for me with Lubuntu 11.04. Download the debian package here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cupsdriverkodak/files/c2esp_18-1_i386.deb/download
Scanning not tested yet on Ubuntu, but working with Mac OS X.

I am using the printer via Wireless. At the setup routine enter

socket://your_printers_ip:9100/

as device URI.

I just discovered a nice little tool which can fix several things that might annoy you after upgrading to OSX Lion. Its written by Fredrik W. You can download Lion Tweaks here. It worked fine for me but be careful since it changes system files.

Acid got a working solution for OSX Lion which disables the startup sound without affecting your sound volume after logging in again. This was posted as a comment at the official Apple Forum originally. Thanks to Acid for this!

1. Login as administrator and open a terminal window

2. Create scriptfile for muting

sudo nano /path/to/mute-on.sh

3. Enter this as content, when done press control+O to save and control+X to exit:

#!/bin/bash

osascript -e 'set volume with output muted'

4. Create scriptfile for unmuting

sudo nano /path/to/mute-off.sh

5. Enter this as content, when done press control+O to save and control+X to exit:

#!/bin/bash

osascript -e 'set volume without output muted'

6. Make both files executable:

sudo chmod u+x /path/to/mute-on.sh

sudo chmod u+x /path/to/mute-off.sh

7. Check if any hooks already exist (these will be overwritten, so make sure it is OK for you)

sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook

sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LogoutHook

8. Add hooks for muting

sudo defaults write com.apple.loginwindow LogoutHook /path/to/mute-on.sh

sudo defaults write com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook /path/to/mute-off.sh

Notes:

- /path/to/ is the location of the scripts, I used /Library/Scripts/

- you can skip the unmuting loginhook (i.e. each logout will silence your machine), but I like it this way because I always have sound available exactly at the volume level I set last time

- root has to be the owner of the script files - running an editor from command line with sudo is the easiest way to achieve that (otherwise you need to chown)

- to delete the hooks, use the following:

sudo defaults delete com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook

sudo defaults delete com.apple.loginwindow LogoutHook
