I do not know about that particular model of Dell or Lexmark
printer.  I do know that at least some of Lexmark's printers
work quite well, but it depends a lot on the model.

The web page at:

http://service.dell.com/dell/kb/tech_support/view_article/1,,967+5835+6285+12749,00.html

implies that this particular printer is not going to work well
with FreeBSD (since it does not work with Linux).  On the other
hand, it may be that this web page is talking about support for
*all* of the functions in this "all-in-one" printer.  It might
be that you can get it to work as if it were a plain printer
by pretending it is some other model of printer, but I have no
idea what would work best.
