I hoped for a simple solution for this problem but it's probably not that simple. The solutions
I got are:

1) use a filterprogram (eg pcfof) with a .pcf-file for this kind of printer. However can't get
such a file.
2) use markvision from Lexmark. However this is an extensive printermanagement system of which
the software-subsets are >80M and needs more then 50M on the / partition. So I couldn't install
and test it. It refused to install. Besides I think this is to much for this problem.
3) use rp=lex
   however this doesn't give any difference

So I gues I can forget an easy solution and will live with my current situation.

Thanks to all that responded.
