I find that odd, because Lexmark was originally IBM.  IBM is a great OSS 
proponent, and Lenovo laptops (also formerly IBM) are the ones reported 
to have the best out-of-the-box experience with the various *nixes.

My son has a Lexmark Z605 -- I'd be happy to find even a text-only B&W 
driver for it (for Ubuntu).
