Lexmark has excellent Unix/Linux support. Support is limited to their high end printers, which you will need to shell out the big bucks for though ;-)
Exactly as described at http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/Database/LinuxSupportByPrint... But as far as I know there are no free PPD files public available for Lexmark PostScript printers. With "free" I mean of course "under a free license". See http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/Database/SuggestedPrinters#H... and follow the link "PPD file ... here on linuxprinting.org." which points to http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/PPD/ where no Lexmark PPD files are available. If there were free PPD files for Lexmark PostScript printers, I would include them in our manufacturer-PPDs package which contains currently more than 1600 free PPD files for more than 900 different printer models from various printer manufacturers.
I know the above, by having worked in Lexmark's Unix/Linux technical support dept. here in Lexington ;-) This BTW, is Lexmark International's headquarters.
Perhaps you know the right contact persons which can make a decission to provide free PPD files for Lexmark PostScript printers. If you contact them, please point them to http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Information_for_Printer_Manufacturers_Regarding_L... in particular the section about "PostScript Printers". If they are interested, I would appreciate it to get in contact with people at Lexmark who are interested in out-of-the-box support for their PostScript printers via Linux distributors.
