Writing a driver for Lexmark X73

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers,microsoft.public.win98.printing,comp.periphs.usb (More info?)

How would a feller go about writing a driver for this
printer? When it prints (rarely), it is excellent quality.
The driver is the problem and the Lexmark boys are no help.
I really hate to thrown the printer out, so I'd like to find
out how to write a driver or where to get a 3rd party
version.

Thanks!

Fred
