Have you read the pdf doc referenced earlier in this thread.
Also I would suggest to see if the printer has compatibiliy mode.
That is, can it emulate a standard printer? You can go though the apsfilter setup and see if some of the standard drivers will give the basic printing, maybe more. At least try it up to the print test page.

According to this website:

http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Lexmark-Z51

The lx5000 driver should work.

So choose "Lexmark 5000 [lx5000]" or option 9 from the lexmark menu and give it a try.

Please be sure to follow the printing howto pdf doc
