Printer Problem

I have a Lexmark 3200 printer (got it from my dad for Christmas last year).  Well, I was using Win 98 until recently (being that most of the apps I use are only compatible for Win) when I switched to Linux Mandrake Deluxe 6.5.  Well... to put this short: there is not a driver (to my knowledge) for my printer for Linux OR a pre-installed driver that will work w/ my printer... can any1 help?

Well... Lexmark does not "support" Linux.  So my belief is that the compatibility islimited... but you are right... I will look at the HP filters.
Good news!  I've found something very interesting...

Despite Lexmark's stubborn refusal to release specs on their printers, a clever group of people has managed to reverse-engineer enough to start making drivers.  The driver for the 3200 isn't complete yet, I think, but it's well worth watching for.
