After hundreds of hours, I could finally make it work.

Be sure that you have 'alien' and 'libstdc++5'

All you have to do this steps:

1.- Download drivers from http://www.lexmark.com
2.- tar -xvzf CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz # extract the driver
3.- tail -n +143 z600cups-1.0-1.gz.sh > install.tar.gz
4.- tar xvzf install.tar.gz
5.- sudo alien *.rpm
6.- dpkg -i *.deb
7.- sudo ldconfig
8.- cd /usr/lib/cups/backend/
9.- ./z600
then you should see a message like this:

direct z600:/dev/usblp0 "Lexmark Lexmark Z600 Series" "Lexmark Printer"

after all this steps then you go to the kmenu then open system preferences, and then you install the printer with the printer menu

NOTE:
There is a guide in: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupp...rs/LexmarkZ605
but it doesn't work, that's because you don't have to unzip the file

Define "almost". What doesn't work correctly?

sgg looks good but the driver is built for i386 now I need to find one for 64

Thanks for informing me that alien and the Library file needed to be installed because on the Ubuntu forum this was not mentioned.

Thanks! sgg;

Worked like a charm! Didn't get that message in step 9 and actually had to re-install the created DEB package, but it worked! Thanks! Now I can use my Dell 720 again!
