Lexmark Z600 Linux Support
Hardware is general very good in Linux. More often than not, all you have to do is plug in a piece of hardware and it will work out of the box (no drivers necessary!). Sadly, there are occasions when hardware fails to work in Linux, usually printers.
Lexmark is probably the worst at this, getting your Lexmark printer working on Linux can be near impossible. Luckily, the popular home-use Z600 series seems to have fairly good support, thanks a driver supplied by Lexmark and Ubuntu community. This development has been fairly recent, when I joined Ubuntu in 2007, my Z640 was the only piece of hardware I could not get to work.
First you will need to download and install 'libstdc++5', if you have Ubuntu 9.04 or below, it will be in the repos. Ubuntu 9.10 users and above, will have to download it from here!
Next, you need to download the driver from here! It is in a nice DEB file, for easy install 
Set your printer up with Ubuntu, and it will now work perfectly!
