Many Lexmarks are "WinPrinters". If the Z600 is one of these then, in
the absence of a driver appearing, your only way to print from it in
Linux may be to install it on a Windows system and use software there to
allow you to send PostScript to it.

www.linuxprinting.org says:

"There are few good free software drivers for ... Lexmark inkjets. Do not
buy one and expect success."

Things may get better with time.
