But, when I try to print a plain txt file, nothing will come out even though if I go to localhost:631 and check the queue, it will report as it has been printed successfuly. However, using enscript to print the same file will give me beautiful results.  Why does the bloody printer refuse to do text?  I even tried lopw820.ppd (driver made by lexmark itself) and did not go anywhere fast.

Looks like a ghostscript related problem.
Send your text file to a raw queue:
lpr -P yourprintername -o raw sometextfile
