You disabled them when you did the original install. Generic has the drivers and your kernel doesn't. If they bother you get rid of them in /boot/kernel.conf. I still have psm and a q in mine. I don't know anything about a "Lexmark 5700" printer and so I can't comment on it. I don't have my two HP's configured for my non-Windows systems.
