Today while having some free time, and getting sick of remote desktopping into my Windows box to print things, I decided to take another stab at getting my Lexmark E210 to work with my Mac OS X Leopard laptop. Unfortunately, I found a long time ago that this printer had neither driver support from Lexmark, nor Apple.
The page I found on how to Make A Lexmark E210 Printer work with Mac OS X detailed extremely well the steps for hooking this printer up via USB (and if you are looking at this for USB, go there now!).
If on the other hand, if like me, your using a Lexmark E210 that is shared from a Windows Machine, these steps seemed to work for me.
First off install the Samsung-GDI-Foomatic driver and the GPLGS (GPL GhostScript) both of which are available on that page.
Second, install Gimp-Print Printer Drivers. As it said on the other page above, neither Lexmark nor Apple have driver support for this printer, so this will act as what you need to be able to print.
Finally, Open System Preferences, Print & Fax. Hold Option while clicking the + sign (add, I don't know why, don't ask, again from the page above). Now select this Windows Button. With any luck, your workgroup will show up. Select the computer the printer is attached to, and then the printer. Once you have selected the printer, in the "Print Using" drop-down select "Lexmark E210, Foomatic+gdi".
You should now be able to print, and you won't just get blank pages, or the first page of documents.
