Edward, From http://www.lexmark.com/lexmark/sequentialem/home/0,6959,204816596_659668505_0_en,00.html it is related that Lexmark is sympathetic to Linux support, but this is still for experts. Ubuntu does have some Lexmark support and will recognize your printer if it is among the supported one. HP printer support is much better. Start at http://h10018.www1.hp.com/wwsolutions/linux/products/printing_imaging/index.html But this List doesn't deal with printer problems. There is a report that your USB modem works under Linux http://www.linux.org.za/Lists-Archives/glug-tech-0407/msg00559.html But please send us the ModemData.txt if you want us to assist.
