You should be able to use the Z600 Linux driver with it.
You need to download it from:
http://downloads.lexmark.com/cgi-perl/downloads.cgi?ccs=229:1:0:390:0:0&emeaframe=&fileID=1151
extract it (You'll probably have to change TAR.gz to tar.gz for it to work)
then (in a terminal)
cd (to the directory you extracted it)
sh z600cups-1.0-1.gz.sh z600cups-1.0-1.gz.sh -target temp_lex
##(You probably get an error here but ignore it)
cd temp_lex
##(use alien to convert rpm's to tgz's)
alien --to-tgz *.rpm
##then extract to /
sudo tar xzf z600cups-1.0.tgz -C /
sudo tar xzf z600llpddk-2.0.tgz -C /
cd /usr/lib
sudo ln -s liblexz600core.so.0.0.0 liblexz600core.so.0
sudo ln -s liblexprinter.so.0.0.0 liblexprinter.so.0
sudo ln -s liblexprintjob.so.0.0.0 liblexprintjob.so.0
##Then run:
/usr/lib/cups/backend/z600
##This should detect the printer and report the model, etc.
then just set up the printer using the z600 driver.

This is how I set up my Lexmark.
