Has anyone had any luck getting this printer to print under
unix?  lexmarks site has no *nix printer drivers for it yet (that
I can find).  It works perfecty doing this:

print to file in windows
xfer file
cat file > /dev/lpt0

It doesn't handle plain text from what I can tell
and I don't know what escape codes need to be sent to
it to make it print.  I can open notepad and type test
and send the resulting file if anyone wants to try thier
hand at it :).

It doesn't have to print under unix, I'm using the server
as a samba/print server actually.  Once I get this, I think
the printing will work from windows...dunno.

any thoughts?

TIA,
