[ubuntu-za] Drivers for Lexmark printer

[David Robert Lewis (ethnopunk)]

I've managed to get obscure printers working by downloading the Linux 
Common Base, but not sure if this solution will work for Lexmark, also 
waste of hard-drive space, which not so much of problem nowadays. You 
also beg Lexmark to release source code. Not sure why they don't but 
they do support Linux to a degree so its just a matter of time before 
you get a driver. Don't give up hope, it was probably a budget decision.
