   I guess I must write a rastertolexmarkz640.c -or so. I've been looking
   at rastertoepson.c and what I'm wondering now is where I can find
   information of the behavior of my device -commands, etc. Would it be
   useful an USB sniffer on Windows?, and, is there another possibility?

The other thing you might do is write a Gutenprint driver.  We already
support a number of Lexmark inkjet printers, so that might give you a
starting point.  Feel free to subscribe to
gimp-print-devel@lists.sourceforge.net (which you can do from
sourceforge.net).

You probably don't need an all-out USB sniffer for this purpose; if
you can print to a file from the Windows driver, you can probably get
enough information.
