You would be happy to know on GNU/linux, they are the printer
manufacturer of choice now. :)

"... There is one printer manufacturer though that as of last year has
begun supporting Linux from top to bottom with their entire line-up of
printers. Not only are they providing CUPS drivers, but also they are
even printing Tux in the corner of every box they ship right besides
the Windows and Apple logos. Do you know who we are talking about?
Probably not, but it's Lexmark. After months of wrangling within the
company, Lexmark has stepped up to become a Linux and open-source
friendly company."
