solved here too I have a Lexmark Platinum Pro 905 (2 trays) connected to USB on Kubuntu 14.04
this worked for me and here are steps I followed on a fesh and updated install of Kubuntu
I downloaded these from Lexmark
lexmark-inkjet-legacy-1.0-1.amd64.deb
lexmark-printer-utility-1.0-2.amd64.deb
lexmark-scan-legacy-1.1-1.amd64.deb
Right click on each >open with>QApt package installer>install package
used the lexmark printer utility to add the printer
opened printers from the hardware section of system settings
I tried to print a test page and received the "cups-insecure-filter"
then I followed sitro's post which only solved for me after adding the cups restart command
cd /usr/local/lexmark/v3/bin/
sudo chmod 755 printfilter
sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart
Print report
all seems to work except for tray selection is in reverse, if I print to tray 2 it goes to tray 1 and if I print to tray 1 it goes to tray 2, I can live with that
Scan report
Skanlite
Found 4 devices each of which did not work for me at first, I would get a tearing image.
Lexmark : Pro800-Pro900 Series
Lexmarklegacy_2_0_0:libusb/001/003
Lexmark : Pro800-Pro900 Series

Xsane
I then installed xsane from muon discover and everything works perfect and about 20x faster even at 600dpi
I went back to Skanlite for the sake of this post and it now works fine it is just slow hmm?
Anyhow I hope this helps the head scratchers out there
side note:
I think my real problem that I had before I almost gave up trying to fix this printer problem after following all suggestions on these forums and elsewhere was I didn't follow proper procedure by using kdesudo and not sudo for gui applications namely dolphin which caused me problems and confusions regarding taking ownership of files. After seeing errors anytime I launched dolphin from Konsole I decided to do a fresh install.
thanks
