Using Lexmark Z52 drivers did not help. From the communications I've been googleing, several have had this problem and my guess is that at least one person has solved it. Note that for right now I don't really care much about bi-directional communication. I just want to get it working.

Is is established yet if your setup is using the lexmark supplied software
or cups drivers? It may not really matter. If the printer is working
fine locally, then it seems to be a problem with samba. What you have to
do is figure out which queue is accepting jobs on your server, locally,
then set up your samba share to direct jobs to that queue.
You might look at /var/spool/lpd. The print queues usually hang out there. Look for a print queue which is controlling your printer, and use that in your samba share.
Your system seems to be generating its printcap file dynamically. This sounds like something with which I contended when I used RH at one time. This is one of the many advances in linux which just makes it harder to fix problems. I didn't get any results with network printing until I disabled that automatic generation of the printcap. There is some sort of printing frontend which does this. I would get rid of it and set up a regular printcap file, or else try to edit the configuration file this printing frontend is using.
