I have ink, libinklevel and kink installed on my system, the error ink gives me is "No printer found. Could not get ink level." My printer is on /dev/usb/lp0 and is fully configured. When using Kink I get the Printer error page saying that it could not find the printer on my system and saying that I need to run chmod 666 /dev/usb/lp0 to fix any permissions problem, after running that I still get the same error. It would be nice if Lexmark had the same support that hp and epson pinters have, that would make things a lot easier. gutenprint didn't seem to make any difference that I can tell.
