Thanks to another respondent (Mark Carroll <mcarroll at iglou.com>), I 
managed to install the appripriate software. Blow you will find his reply:
to add a Lexmark printer  To Solaris Using lexprt Utility:

Download markvision software from www.lexmark.com

download the Markvision software.

Use pkgadd to install

***********************************
Run the lexprt program

lpadmin -x "printername" then recreate from the "Create a queue" above.
Error message will appear that no queues created for the printer or the 
printer
will simply not be visible when you select "List Queues" or "Change
