Install Printer Lexmark S305

[Davidslv]

Hi, i bought this Printer http://support.lexmark.com/index?page=content&productCode=LEXMARK_IMPACT_S305&actp=RECOMMEND&id=DR20679&segment=DOWNLOAD&userlocale=EN_US&oslocale=en_US&locale=en

But now that i look it only supports rpm distros (at least it seems).

There is anyway to install it in my ubuntu ?

I downloaded the file, but it gives-me errors, i tried trought CUPS but there is no drivers for this printer...

the errors :

Seems like this isn't the only problem we will have if running Ubuntu 11.04. Found this and hope it might help someone:

A broken driver due to a typo!
