The Lexmark inkjet division simply does not want to support Linux.
Have a look at
http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/Database/LinuxSupportByPrinterVendors

To make things easy, I recommend to wait until you would need to
buy new ink and then buy a printer which is supported by Linux, see
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Purchasing_a_Printer_and_Compatibility

Using a proper printer will solve the driver problem once and for all,
as it will eliminate the need for installing and configuring proprietary
driver software and obtaining driver updates required for new developments
in the print system.

If you are looking for a well supported all-in-one device, see
http://hplip.sourceforge.net/supported_devices/index.html
and for more details what exactly is supported, see
http://hplip.sourceforge.net/tech_docs/device_classes.html


Kind Regards
