Hi Mike... I've got some good news and I've got some bad news. First, the bad news...the Lexmark Z series printers are horrible on windows and nigh onto impossible in Linux. ( it really depends on how much time, effort, and sanity you wish to invest. ) The good news is, if you're REALLY tenacious it can be done. Although, you probably won't like the results. The Lexmark Z series has next to "no" firmware in the machine which means it has to get all it's instructions from the drivers it uses. I was able to get one of these to work, but as I said the results were terrible. What ended up happening I had to go through, with trial and error, and try ever cups driver for the Lexmark Z series till I found one that worked. It was aweful, so I went to Office Max and bought an HP LaserJet (HP 1200). I Love it! they were on sale at the time and it cost me $150.00. Very painless to install and get working and Extremely well supported in Cups. -- Mark "Stupidity has no moral high ground. It can't see that high!"
