I briefly flirted with using "Print Driver

Thanks for your brilliant and knowledgeable responses!

P.S. Upgrading to OSX is one possibility, but way outside the
comfort zone
of her writing workflow.
I would push for the X upgrade, but baring that, there MAY be a
kludge or two to get it to work. You might not get all the
functionality, but you MAY be able to print.
How does it connect, USB or network? If network, you may be out of luck.
You might try browsing Lexmarks site for an older printer that has OS
9 drivers. Try and look for something a little similar (heavier duty
color inkjet) and install it. It may just work, but not all the
functions.
A real long shot that may get you black text. At least in the old
days, many printers could accept different input formats. If you can
track down a print driver for one of the following, try installing it
and see if it works:
LaserJet II
Epson FX
