Try this one:

Use the PPD driver out of there.
Normally, CUPS works with the PPD files just fine. At least that was
my experience.

I wonder how it works for "another distro" because according to http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Lexmark-Z600_series_z601_z6 02 there is no open source driver available.
In general regarding Lexmark, see http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/Database/LinuxSupportByPrin terVendors "Useless ... Lexmark JetPrinters"
Have you tried just adding the windows ppd to cups?
Only for real PostScript printers the PPD file alone is sufficient. All other printers require a driver, i.e. a program which produces the printer-specific data.

I know my Lexmark All-in-One x1200 printer works using the z600 PPD files, Lexmark made a RPM for RedHat 9 that contains the needed files. The RPM is built for an older version of CUPS and RPM won't install it without the --nodeps flag, but the driver works fine with CUPS 1.2.12. If you want to try it I can send you the RPM and a text file that has what I did to install it.
