The following is how remember a previous look at this. I can't get past
a page with lots printer pictures at www.lexmark.com, i.e. to some tech
specs for this model.
This is an example of the printer equivalent of a "winmodem". The
printer is very stupid and all the work is done by the printer driver,
it will not even print ASCII on its own.
As far as I know Lexmark only have drivers for windows, and they do not
(openly) publish documentation for a clone to be made for BSD.
Linux is also stumped by this cheap & nasty printer, according to:
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Hardware-HOWTO/incompatible.html
Sorry, unless you can hang this off a win box it is little more than a
doorstop. You could, as a customer, write to Lexmark and ask them for
help connecting it to FreeBSD.
