From user terminal, run commands as follows:

cd /tmp
wget -c http://downloads.lexmark.com/downloads/cpd/lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh.zip

When wget completes downloading file, run:
unzip /tmp/lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh.zip

After unzip completes, run:
sudo ./lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh

Click "Next" button,
Click "Next" button again.
Select "I agree to this license agreement" then "Next" button.

When the window comes up that says, "The installer has detected the 
operating system does not meet CUPS minimum version requirements. 
Please install CUPS version 1.2 or higher and run the installer again."

DO NOT click OK, just leave it for now, 
and open another terminal and run below commands:

sudo -i (or sudo /bin/bash)
rsync -av /tmp/selfgz*/pkg/files/lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb /tmp
cd /tmp
ar x lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb control.tar.gz
tar zxvf control.tar.gz
gedit control (note: substitute gedit for editor of your choice)

Once file is open in your prefered text editor, 
paste below lines over all existing contents (including empty lines) 
in file, then save file.

<start copy at beginning of next line>
Package: lexmark-inkjet-08-driver
Version: 1.0-1
Section: non-free
Priority: optional
Architecture: i386
Installed-Size:
Maintainer: build <build@linux>
Description: Lexmark Z2300/X2600 Drivers Package
<end copy at aboce line>

Then, add the files back to control.tar.gz
tar cfz control.tar.gz ./control ./postinst ./prerm ./preinst 

Add control.tar.gz back to the deb file:
ar r lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb control.tar.gz

And finally, install the deb package
dpkg --install lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb

Now click on "OK" in window that says,
"The installer has detected the 
operating system does not meet CUPS minimum version requirements. 
Please install CUPS version 1.2 or higher 
and run the installer again."

It will cleanup and close itself out.
Close terms.
