Both of you should head over to Linuxprinting.org

Use the Printer database to look up the driver for your printer..
http://www.openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi

In the case of the HP the driver is probably hplip

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but your Lexmark 7300 is listed as a paperweight in Linux... Never a good sign..

What does paperweight means

Means it will print about as well as a Brick..

in other words it does NOT work at all in Linux according to user submitted reports.
