Marc-

Thanks for the help Marc. 

I gave that link you mentioned a shot and had to change things for the 64-bit install, but I was able to successfully install the driver, associate it with a printer, and print a few documents. I have only done this for the Lexmark cx510, but I imagine with just a little work, the others will turn out too.

Thank you!
