Lo,

I own a new Lexmark I3 and I have followed the following guide for how to use lexmark printers on linux...
http://users.netwit.net.au/~pursang/lex.html

The only things I did differently with this guide was make symlinks from libtcl and libtk version 8.0 instead of the ones mentioned.  I also had to use alien to convert the rpm files to deb to use on Ubuntu.

I then went on the CUPS web page at port 613 and could see it detected my lexmark I3 on the USB port and also I could see the Z600 driver I just installed.

The only thing is, when I send a job to the printer (i have tried from many programs including the 'lp' command) it stays as 'processing' for a few seconds then goes to 'aborted' - When I click the 'reprint' button I get the 'client-error-not-possible' error.

I did notice there is a page about this error on the cups.org site but I followed the things mentioned and it did not seem to help.

I have set my LogLevel to debug2 and the output from the error_log can be found at http://cyorxamp.info/error_log.txt if it will help anyone in understanding what could be wrong with my set-up.

Unfortunately if I can not get my new printer working on this system (which acts as my server) then my 2 months hard work in understanding linux will have gone to waste as I will be forced to go back to Windows :(

I hope someone can help me!
