I just bought a Lexmark X5470.
I have DSL and out of my lone phone jack, I have a splitter. One end goes straight in to the DSL modem and the other used to have a DSL filter and then my phone plugged in to that. My phone is connected to the EXT on the Lexmark X5470. In order to use the fax machine, should I connect it to the DSL filter I had my phone connected in to?

Fax line plug into the filter.

The DSL filter is for any device (phone, TIVO, etc) that requires a regular phone connection - phrased differently, *ANYTHING* other than your computer. Your Lexmark should be connected to your computer via a USB connection. You do not need to have a phone line directly connected to the printer if it is connected to the computer (again, via USB cable). Windows setup wizard should be able to configure the fax feature of your printer (Start - Control Panel - Printers and Faxes).
