Comments
Under this entry Lexmark's PPD files for their black-only PostScript printers are hosted. For these printers there is an extra driver entry as Lexmark did not support them any more at the time when they started to publish their PPDs under a free license.
PostScript printers are supported natively in Linux and Unix environments, so you only need the PPD file for your printer, no driver executables, to get access to all printing functionality. The PPD contains all information about properties and user-settable options which are specific to the printer and makes printing dialogs show these options and allow the user to control all the printer's functionality.
The PPDs only support the printing functionality of the printers. To use extra functionality, like scanning and faxing you will need additional drivers.
Note that these printers work, like all other PostScript printers, with generic PostScript PPD files, but then you will not get access to all the printer specific functionality.
