You have the driver file. If the file is not in the folder you are running it then you will need to change directory in terminal to the location of the file. For exmple if you downloaded it to ~/Downloads then you will need to run:

cd ~/Downloads; sudo lexmark-inkjet-legacy-wJRE-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh

And it will run as the interpretter will see the file.

Can you help with this problem?
