CUPS does not support your printer. Your stand-a-lone printing options are not very good. Lexmark has a really old driver kit, http://www.lexmark.com/lexmark/sequentialem/home/0,6959,204816596_659668505_0_en,00.html , which you could try to build. Unfortunately, your printer model is not listed as being supported. It appears that your best bet is OpenPrinting.org's Z1310 driver, http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Lexmark-Z1310 . HTH -- Kam
