[Samba] I've always HATED printing with Samba

[Joel Hammer]

This looks like you use cups, not lprng, so, I have no idea how much of what
I said will apply. 

Maybe you haven't the software from lexmark.

Here is a part of what I see with:
locate z53
/mnt/hda4/usr/local/lexmark/z53
/mnt/hda4/usr/local/lexmark/z53/A4.xpm
/mnt/hda4/usr/local/lexmark/z53/A5.xpm
/mnt/hda4/usr/local/lexmark/z53/A6_Card.xpm
/mnt/hda4/usr/local/lexmark/z53/align.xpm
/mnt/hda4/usr/local/lexmark/z53/alignz53
/mnt/hda4/usr/local/lexmark/z53/B5.xpm
/mnt/hda4/usr/local/lexmark/z53/Banner.xpm
etc. etc.

By point to I mean the "if" (input filter) paramter in /etc/printcap,
which refers to the file z53.sh if you are using the lexmark supplied
drivers.
