Just in case anyone else has a similar problem I'm replying to my own
email as I've found a solution to my problem.

I was using a PPD from the foomatic-filters-ppds package from my
Lexmark Optra E312, just for curiosity I set up my printer using the
official PPD from Lexmark. This solves all the problems that I was
experiencing.
