I am using latest gentoo testing so I believe cups is up-to date.

Where to see hcl log?

messages and dmseg are fine

I have looked for drivers but not a bit of luck. I installed z700 and z600 its turn the printer is not z735 series but 730 series :-(

lexmark is lame with linux as a whole. Try something like hp, samsung or epson if you can.

Me too. I switch to HP.
I contacted the lexmark support and open ticket with them. They do not have drivers and do not intend to have one. Anyway I filed formal complain and etc, and the guy told me eventually they going to take a look on the issue.

More people complain -> more chance to get driver and support
