Penny, my dryer started doing that same lint thing. Lint outside the house near the dryer exhaust vent. We solved the problem by moving the dryer away from the wall a bit. Somehow, it had been pushed back far enough that the vent hose had a severe 90 degree bend in it. When we straightened it a bit, the lint stayed inside where it belongs.
Peggi, thanks for that info. I'm glad to hear you're happy with the Speed Queen. I've been following earlier washing machine threads here, and that was one of the more popular brands mentioned. Also, it seems, it's an easy brand to get parts/repair if necessary.
