Interface with Lexmark Printers

I've noted that there is a big problem with Linux and Lexmark printers, particularly those with USB interfaces.

I have a X3550 and a Z22 that do not work with Linux. The Z22 works, but bombs and flashes its lights after the first page. (hooked up via parallel cable - per instructions found on web sites. Would not work USB).

So what is the big deal with the Lexmarks? Any good drivers to run them? Is there a USB problem with Linux?

Let me know...
