I have some ground for believing that your all-in-one may at least be made to print, using a Linux driver provided by Lexmark for a number of its Z6xx series printers. I am presently engaged in the same exercise concerning the X1150 PrintTrio. In a reply to an earlier post in these forums about the X1150, I gave links to a number of pages I'd found in which people had got various Lexmark models to print using that driver in Debian-based distributions.
The method, put shortly, is to download the relevant file from the Lexmark site, extract from it two rpm files, convert those rpm files to deb files and then install them, after which one can print using CUPS (there's a cups.dsl extension available).
I am presently stuck at the stage of converting the extracted rpms to debs. I've tried to do that using the aliendebs.dsl extension, but haven't been able to get that to work. I'm trying now to find a way of converting the rpms to debs on some other machine and then using the debs on the DSL machine. My attempts are hindered by my ignorance.
If you pursue the route I've mentioned and have any success beyond the stage I've reached, I'd be grateful if you'd explain how.
