If there were an entry for it on openprinting.org, it's likely that it
would be listed as a paperweight. Lexmark inkjet printers tend to not
have open source drivers for them. Usually, their laser printers
support some version of PCL or PostScript and have PPD files that work
fine under CUPS.

For laser printers, it's even better than that. I bought a Lexmark 543dn
recently, and I was pleasantly surprised to see Solaris compatibility
explicitly listed on the spec page:
http://www1.lexmark.com/products/view/Printers/Lexmark-C543dn/catId=cat10006-category&prodId=4609-product
I realize this doesn't help with the original inkjet question, but I
thought the rest of opensolaris-discuss might be interested.
