If it's a new printer, my best suggestion would be to return it and

Some newer Lexmark printers do support standard protocols, but I went
and spent $80 for a Lexmark color printer several years ago that spent
more time working as a doorstop than a printer.
I'll second that. I don't recall the model (it's still running attached
to the kid's computer), but it's a Lexmark color inkjet that is totally
useless for computers running anything but consumer-grade Windows.
They used - and still
do for some printers - proprietary protocols, and release their own
drivers - you guessed it - for Windows only. And sometimes not even
for all versions of Windows. My one Windows system was NT, and it
wasn't supported. At the time, I was a Linux user, and even the
reverse engineered Linux drivers weren't able to get it working.
On top of that, for the short time I did have it working (on Win98 -
blech) I found printing quality and speed to be nothing short of poor.
I'll never buy a Lexmark again, and if given one, I'll immediately put
it on EBay or just give it to my front curb.

Hi,
I have a "BSD5.3"
I'm trying to set-up a printer.(Dell AIO A960)
I think, that this printer made by "Lexmark".
They have one looks like what I have(Lexmark X6170)
I do not know if "BSD" support this printer.
So if you know, pleas let me know.
Thanks,
Leon.
