[X-SW] Dell printer on G5?

I have heard some people say you can find Lexmark drivers for the
proprietary Dell Printers (I have a 940 all in one) so they can be used on
the Mac.  I googled and got nothing, but looking on the Lexmark site, it
looks most like the 5150 (although it is really tough to tell from the tiny
pictures).  

Right now, for a myriad of reasons, but mainly my PC only USB phone, I have
my Dell computer side by side with my G5.  Ideally it would be easiest if I
could leave the 940 hooked up to the Dell and have it seen over the network
(we are home networked through a 2Wire 1700 DSL modem).

Can anyone help?  I got as far as downloading the hopefully matched 5150
driver, but stalled when trying to install it as a remote when it would not
accept the IP address of the Dell (figuring it shared the IP address with
the computer).

Thanks in advance for your time and consideration!
