Thanks!  

The bad news is that www.linuxprinting.org is moderately scathing about
the variety of printer I appear to have.  I wish I'd known about that
site while I was picking out hardware.  Useful for next time, though.

Before posting a query, I did some more Googling, with Lexmark added to
the search terms.  In the hopes that this partial paper (?) trail will
help someone else ....:

I found a claim that the printer I have is actually a Lexmark x5270:

  http://www.pcworld.com/reviews/article/0,aid,117556,00.asp

and a suggestion that maybe it would work to use the Lexmark x5250
drivers:

  http://www.linuxprinting.org/pipermail/lexmark-list/2005q2/002943.html

which seem to be available here:

  http://www.lexmark.com/US/products/info/linux/download_v2.html

I obtained the RPM from that site and installed it, but I'm not
quite sure how to proceed from there.  The instructions seem to
mostly focus on building/installing a scanner driver, and right now
I'd be content just to have the printer work.  I'm not sure how to
make a connection between the files from the RPM (listed below,
somewhat summarized) and the process for configuring a printer
(system-config-printer, right??).  

Files from RPM:

  /usr/include/lexmark-H/*.h
  /usr/lib/liblexx5250printer.a
  /usr/lib/liblexx5250printer.la
  /usr/lib/liblexx5250printer.so

  /usr/lib/liblxbthpep.so
  /usr/local/x5250llpddk/utility/*.out
  /usr/local/x5250llpddk/utility/*.lut

I may be in way over my head, but help in figuring out what to do
next would be appreciated.
