Hello again,

Thanks to another respondent (Mark Carroll <mcarroll@iglou.com>), I
managed to install the appripriate software. Below you will find his reply:
to add a Lexmark printer To Solaris Using lexprt Utility:

Download markvision software from www.lexmark.com

select drivers & downloads

select Optra lxi printer

download the Markvision software.

Use pkgadd to install

***********************************
Run the lexprt program

Create a virtual device < this requires a valid DNS hostname
Create a print queue < This creates the UNIX print queue
***********************************
/usr/markvision/bin/lexprt < Utility to install Lexmark printers. NOTE:
/usr/markvision is a link to /opt/lexmark/markvision or install directory
Must have file /etc/markvision.cmib installed
***********************************

Select Create a virtual device

name the device the printer name

select 3) network printer

Select "a" to accept

Select "a" to accept again

*************************
Create a queue

Select option 5 create a print queue

Name the queue the name you gave above for

virtual device

select the printer type

34) Lexmark Optra M41x (410, 412) Printers 10LOptraM410.b

Select "3) Auto" for printer language

Select "a" to accept the new print queue

Select "a" to accept again

************************************************************************
NOTES:

If you have problems you may need to remove the printer from UNIX
lpadmin -x "printername" then recreate from the "Create a queue" above.
Error message will appear that no queues created for the printer or the
printer
will simply not be visible when you select "List Queues" or "Change
Queue settings"
from menu.
