If it's a new printer, my best suggestion would be to return it and get an HP anything.
Some newer Lexmark printers do support standard protocols, but I went and spent $80 for a Lexmark color printer several years ago that spent more time working as a doorstop than a printer. They used - and still do for some printers - proprietary protocols, and release their own drivers - you guessed it - for Windows only. And sometimes not even for all versions of Windows. My one Windows system was NT, and it wasn't supported. At the time, I was a Linux user, and even the reverse engineered Linux drivers weren't able to get it working. On top of that, for the short time I did have it working (on Win98 - blech) I found printing quality and speed to be nothing short of poor. I'll never buy a Lexmark again, and if given one, I'll immediately put it on EBay or just give it to my front curb.
