I send email to one of the Lexmark engineers seeing if I could get him
to release interface specs.

The problems were: 1) The interface is *very* low level.  The software
needs to take into account crap like adjacent pixels, temps etc.  2)
The printer-resident firmware might have bugs and controlling the
software on the computer allows them to code around bugs without a
major "printer recall".  (I assume flash-rom would really blow the
hardware budget on the low-end printers)

On the other hand, he seemed to think that Lexmark marketing could be
convinced to release ghostscript code and/or modules if enough
requests came in for it.  They do run unix internally and do use a
locally hacked ghostscript with their win95 printers, so all the code
already exists.
