Thanks for the guide
wbar2!
The wired installation for my Lexmark x4975 printer under Lucid went without a hitch.
The wireless setup didn't work for me however. When it asks you to select a driver it asks for a ppd file which is nowhere to be found and trying a driver from the list of provided ones resulted in an error when I tried to finish the setup wizard.
There was an easy fix though.
Go to System > Administration > Printers
After running the wired installation you'll have a new printer listed, e.g. Lexmark_4900_Series. Right-click on it and select Duplicate, give it a new name like "Lexmark_4900_Series_Wireless".
Right-Click again and select properties. In the field marked Device URI, enter socket://IP_ADDRESS_OF_PRINTER. Then close the window.
