In
Aladdin Ghostscript TESTER RELEASE 5.83 (1999-05-13)
from eg. ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/support/ghostscript/aladdin/test
(I see that 5.84 is out + remember this is Aladdin license...)
src/gdevlxm.c

 * Lexmark 5700 ink-jet printer driver for Ghostscript
 *
 * defines the lxm5700m device for printing in black-and-white at 1200 dpi
 * doesn't handle color or any other resolution.
 * Native resolution appears to be 600 x 1200, but print bands are overlapped.
 *
 * I use the command
 * gs -sOutputFile=/dev/lp0 -sDevice=lxm5700m -dHeadSeparation=15 file.ps
 *
 * where HeadSeparation varies from print-cartridge to print-cartridge and
 * 16 (the default) usually works fine.
