Lexmark x2480 compatible driver?

I've read that Lexmark does not have a driver compatible with a Mac for their printer: x2480. Is there any other driver that will work with a Mac? A generic driver perhaps?

Thanks!

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

If it's not on the list at <http://gutenprint.sourceforge.net/pSupportedPrinters.php>, and it doesn't seem to be, you're probably out of luck. Sorry. Lexmarks and Macs don't mix well. This appears to be Lexmark company policy. Many of their systems lack drivers for OS X, and some of those which do have OS X drivers have drivers notably inferior to those available for Windows. (See further 'Z23 Color Jet Printer', for example. Yes, I had one of those. Never again.) I, personally, will no longer purchase any Lexmark product, even one which does have Mac drivers.
