Lexmark Z25 printer - comments requested

[Felix Karpfen]

Our local Tandy store is currently selling Lexmark Z25 printers at
bargain prices.  Their story is that a new model will shortly be
released.

The Z25 brochure claims that the printer works with RedHat 7.0 or higher
provided the driver (available at the Lexmark website) is installed.

The driver - which I have yet to download successfully - says that it
needs Ghostscript 6.05 and enscript. And my recently-updated
Ghostscript-7.05 has problems finding its fonts. When I set the
$GS_LIB path so that Ghostscript-7.05 works, neither enscript nor
a2ps can find the fonts that they need; and when I leave $GS_LIB at
its default setting, enscript and a2ps work but Ghostscript-7.05
cannot run the supplied test files that contain fonts.

Anything else that I need to know before I jump at the Tandy bargain?
