Ooh, I fear you may be in trouble. Memory tells me the 310 model is Windows only (like the winmodems, software controlled). But maybe I remember wrong and its the model which works perfectly. Lexmark sells both kinds. By the way, Lexmark's Linux support for Optra is in fact fantastic (apart from the Winprinter model, whichever one it is), they. provide full specs and everything. The page that tells you all about this kind of news is, quite simply, www.linuxprinting.org. Best printing support is found through the foomatic scripts. I think Debian has cupsomatic, which sets it up easily with CUPS. But I use lprng, not CUPS, the site has instructions on what to do for lprng too.
