When you say you did "all the necessary steps", did that include consulting the Linux Printer Compatibility Database? That database lists the Lexmark 1100 as working "partially" with Linux and provides some help about the details of making it work, including a reference to the lm1100 driver it requires. See http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=59008 for the instructions.
Lexmark itself is apparently something less than helpful. See the Lexmark section of http://www.linuxprinting.org/vendors.html for details. Good luck with this ... I think you'll need some luck.
