First, make sure that lpd (the printer daemon) is running; as root,
do:
checkconfig --list
Look to see if lpd is listed, and that it is "on" for the runlevels
that you use.
If you don't see it listed, you may have to install it. Look for the
LPRng .rpm file on the install cd.
If you use the RedHat Printool to set up the Lexmark, make sure that
you restart lpd after making any changes to the /etc/printcap entry.
Select the 'lpd' button at the top of the window, and then 'restart.'
Try some of the other "drivers" if the 1100 doesn't work. My HP 890
uses the 850 setup as the HP890 "driver' did nothing, my Panasonic
1123
isn't listed, but works fine with an Epson dot-matrix "driver."

Tom
