Does anyone know if any drivers for the the Lexmark Z12 in Mandrake 8.2 exist anywhere? Maybe something for a similar printer that will also work for the Z12? I haven't been able to find anything and I dont have enough money to buy a new printer and I am having some trouble getting my box to boot into windows..

Have you tried http://www.lexmark.com ?
I'd be surprised if they didn't have the driver you need somewhere.

Hi
I have a similar model (the Lexmark Z13).
There is a proprietary Linux driver for the Z12 available from Lexmark, but I couldn't get it installed.
I posted in the linuxprinting.org Lexmark forum, and got Lexmark's driver working using a program called 'Foomatic'. However, I only have greyscale working, the printing messes up with colour.

Good luck
