I have a Linux computer acting as a print server. It uses a linux cups driver obtained from Lexmark.
I'm moving to OpenBSD and want to know if the same driver for Linux works in OpenBSD. In other words, as long as CUPS supports it, does it even depend on what operating system it runs on?Thanks.

I have a Lexmark Z42. It works both in Linux and FreeBSD with CUPS using the gimp-print driver.
I don't see why it wouldn't be supported in BSD if it is supported in Linux. You can check for support of a particular driver at:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/prihttp://www.linuxprinting.org/printer_list.cginter_list.cgi
Basically, all I had to do was install CUPS and gimp-print from the ports, followed by some minor configuration, for it to work in FreeBSD. To be honest, the ol' Lexmark runs better in BSD than it ever did in Red Hat, SuSE, and Mandrake. Go figure.
