I hate to say that I fixed my Lexmark issues by purchasing an Epson. 
I had many problems with the Lexmark driver and with their stupid ink 
cartridges.  I didn't print enough and the cartridges would just quit 
working and no amount of cleaning would ever get them to work. :(

The Epson printer turned out to cost less than the Lexmark cartridges.  :)

I do know that there is an issue with Lexmark doing spyware/data 
gathering with their Windows drivers.

I am not the only person that had problems with their Lexmark printer.

Have you looked at just using Cups?
