 	That's an inkjet printer, with some sort of wacky ethernet port. 
If it is doing TCP/IP, it should answer to pings, and I think give some 
sort of conenction-ability. It may not answer to portscans, though.

 	(I believe my Epson Stylus Color 1520 inkjets are available with 
Postscript and ethernet options - I use the appropriate driver, and feed 
the data to an outboard printserver.)

 	Gotta find out which language it supports, and then you should not 
have a problem with it. Although, according to this article, Lexmark 
printers are ultra-proprietary:
