Install the common printer driver packages in ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install cups-client cups-common cups-daemon cups-filters cups-ppdc cups-server-common debconf ghostscript libavahi-client3 libavahi-common3 libc-bin libc6 libcups2 libcupscgi1 libcupsimage2 libcupsmime1 libcupsppdc1 libgcc1 libstdc++6 libusb-1.0-0 lsb-base poppler-utils procps
Then use the printer with the application system-config-printer-gnome
That is not going to work.

Because there is no cups driver that will work for the z3100. Lexmark had zero support for Linux.

Ubutuforums.org has a list of Lexmark printers that worked in 2007(!) based of a Gentoo article. Back then Lexmark provided a z600 driver but that has been removed from their site. You can try to follow this installation for your z3100 but the 1st mentioning of this printer is post 320 and states it does not work.
My personal experience: in relation to Ubuntu the cheaper Lexmark printers tend to be paperweights. I have only managed to use Lexmark printers when I could hook them up on the network. Not direct from Ubuntu.
You will save yourself a lot of trouble if you return the printer and get a supported one (all HP printers work out of the box)
