I seem to have a knack of getting printers that are not natively supported in 10.5, and Lexmark support seems to be very sparse. With some perseverance, however, I now have my Z22 printing in 10.5.8. Similar printing support pages on the web seem to indicate similarities between the Z22, the Z23, and the Z34, as well as some others. Google is your friend; YMMV.
You'll need this PPD for the Z22, and this page has three links to open source software to install. For those who want the inside scoop, there are lots of support details to read and digest on the page, so take your time and look at what's there...
