Whilst Lexmark has begun to support linux with a few of their current printers, unfortunately they did not produce one for your particular model.
This was discussed over at linux mint
Lexmark X5150
Does this printer work with free software?
No. If you are able to purchase a new machine, buy an OfficeJet, or a suggested printer.
Another possibility is to configure for several different lexmark printers, and hope that one works. Like a lottery.
Does Lexmark have drivers for this machine?
No. Their binary driver set does not support it.
Does scanning work?
No. You'll definitely have to write a driver yourself.
If you have your PC in a small network containing a Windows PC you could use a technique such as I described in this Q&A to print to it if the printer was attached to the Windows PC.
