Of course it works in Windows. Several hundred K of software
uses your processor to make that beast work like a printer, and
it is written for windows, by lexmark. The lexmark 3200 is a
Winprinter. The other drivers, the three in Linux, are not done
by the manufacturer--they are just a reverse engineering
guesswork which may work fine on some and not on others
(engineering modifications to hardware are common within the
same model number).
