No, I'm not talking about the lasershow

Yesterday, I finally got my new printer, a
Lexmark E240. I was pretty certain that it would work, as the E120n is known to work as a Generic PCL6 printer and Lexmarks specs for the E240 claimed it understood PCL6 as well. So I just tried the driver (pxlmono) that's recommended for the E120n and it worked right out of the box (the entry for the E240 is from me). I believe that the E240d(n) as well as the E340 series are likely to be the same as the documentation coming with the E240 applies at least in part to those as well.
Lexmark does provide it's own set of drivers, btw. They ship (at least on the supplied CDROM) as RPMs, although they claim to support Debian. It looks like they provide some administration tool, and from a quick sketch in the documentation, I think they mainly provide a wrapper around the usual printing tools. But I haven't tried this stuff at all. Speaking of documentation, the Unix docs ship as HTML, and at least in part they are broken. I.e., the main navigation frame links to some HowDoI.html file, but on the CDROM there's only howdoi.html. Let's hope the hardware engineers paid a tiny bit more attention to what they were doing.
