According to openprinting.org, your printer is a paperweight (i.e., it is unsupported in linux).

Here is a possible solution though. See this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1554718
In post #13, the person said he got it working by installing the Lexmark driver and editing some files.
Hope this helps.
