The Lexmark is a "WinPrinter." You've heard of
"WinModems"??? Well this is the printer equivalent.
Requires special software which ONLY works under Windows.
As for your LS-120 suggest you check the archives for the
proper installation info. It may be you need to edit your
fstab file to get it to work. IIRC, it's an IDE device, so
it should be on /dev/hdx (no number, just hdx where x=a-z)
to work properly.
