OK. Here is what works for me. As usual, your mileage may vary.
I assume you have installed the software for the lexmarkz53 on your
linux server. I assume you can print a test page. If you can't, likely
you are not printing the testpage to a raw queue. The testpage goes to a
raw queue while the real print jobs go to a filtered queue, in my setup.
I assume you know how to run the lexmark setup program which generates the
configuration file.

lexmark supplies print filters that work fine in linux to drive the z53.
I wrote a tutorial on print filters some time ago. I used this filter
as part of that writeup. Here is part of that tutorial.
============Start Tutorial=====================
There is a shell script called z53.sh. This is what your printcap file
should be pointing to.

I'm not sure I know what you mean by "points to".

[EMAIL PROTECTED] z53]# man printcap
No manual entry for printcap
[EMAIL PROTECTED] z53]# man -k printcap
printcap: nothing appropriate

/etc/printcap says:
