[colug-432] Print to Wireless Printer

[Ed Liddle]

Tom,

I am not too familiar with the lexmark printer you are trying to get working.
I did find the following page about lexmark printers that may be of help.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters/LexmarkPrinters#Installing%20the%20drivers%20and%20setting%20up%20a%20printer

Also a quick search on openprinting.org yeilds  this result
http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Lexmark/Lexmark-7000

I hope this helps.
