Open a web browser and enter "localhost:631" and you will get the CUPS (Common Unix Printer System) web interface. From there you can pretty much follow the GUI dialog to set it up. Note that you will be asked for a username and password with a dialog that will appear. That is "root" and your root password. Only root can configure the CUPS daemon.

contact me i have a .tgz
Hi
I own a Lexmark Z602. I have built a .tgz package using the Lexmark official Z600 series driver. Bound by their license I am not permitted to publish that package, but if you contact me I will send it to you. (plus a SlackBuild). The license allows me to do so (it means only you as the owner of a Lexmark printer are allowed to play with it in order to make it work). Bound by the Lexmark license you will not be able to redistribute that package to anyone who does not own a Lexmark printer.
The install method is pretty easy. Just install the .tgz package, and after that type in a konsole (from within KDE if you use it)
kaddprinterwizard
That's a nice wizard that will guide you in the installation (it will even let you print a test page).
Contact me via email.

man...
That's 100% true! The ink (the two 26 and 27 cartridges) costs 3 dollars less than a new printer that would include them!
Now about that %^&%^&%& driver, it's CUPS-based. (fortunately).
But it is indeed a closed-source binary...
