Lexmark E250dn printer drivers

I had the good fortune of buying the Lexmark E250dn laser printer about a month ago. It's a networked printer with a duplexer, all for less than 2000 NOK. Unfortunately, the necessary printer drivers are not part of Foomatic (yet). However, when I browsed the Lexmark support pages, all the printer defintions (PPD) were available as a simple download. Once I added them via the KDE control panel (and the GNOME printer setup tool), all my Linux boxes were able to print flawlessly with it.

Today, I had to install the same printer on a new different machine, so I visited Lexmark again. This time, the PPDs were gone. The only thing I could find was a 25MB .deb download which, once I had fetched it, didn't contain a single useful file. Apparently, it contains a derivative of an old LPD-based printing system.

For convenience, I've posted the tarball with the PPDs. This contains all you need for running this printer with CUPS. Hopefully, a convenient download of these files will reappear on the Lexmark pages, as well as becoming a standard part of future releases of Foomatic.
