Lexmark X1100 printer

I had to replace my trusty old HP930C and went out and purchased a cheap
Lexmark X1185.

It works pretty good on the windoze boxes (networked printer) but I don't
seem to be able to get any drivers to work with it on FreeBSD 4.9R

I've got ghostscript and apsfilter installed. But when I select Lexmark in
apsfilter, and try to print, I get an error about installing the lm1100
filter. I can't find any documentation that talks about installing this
filter on FreeBSD.

So I'm wondering if going with CUPS would be easier? or at least something
else to dig into. I've spent about 3 hours fiddling with the current setup
to no avail.

Any Suggestions? links?

Thanks.
