I've asked Lexmark about this printer before. It's a GDI printer, meaning it requires Windows to render for it instead of having the rendering done in the printer. Lexmark says they have no plans to support these printers. However, when I inquired, they did send me a list of their printers that they say will work for Linux. Having said that, this particular printer (The 2050) doesn't support Windows network printing AFAICT. (My parents have one and I tried to get it to work from my windows partition - The driver says it can't open the printer, yet I can talk to the printer from samba, just can't do anything with it.)
