This printer should work with cups-browsed, as cups-browsed fills in 
missing essential options with defaults, meaning that at least some 
paper sizes you will be able to use. You have to set 
"CreateIPPPrinterQueues Yes" in /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf and you 
should get a print queue automatically as soon as you restart cups-browsed.

But contact Lexmark anyway, this is really a firmware bug.
