this is what my system log says:
/var/log/cups/error:
E [30/Oct/2007:10:44:50 +0200] cupsdAuthorize: Local authentication certificate not found!

Got it working, but I don't know what I did different for the 6th time.
I have a Lexmark X1185 printer....I'm VERY new to linux. I followed the HowTo step by step on the first page of this thread and everything worked fine. I've set up the printer in the Printer Config using Z600. When I try to print a test page, the printer arm slams the cartridge against the side of the printer and the light just starts blinking on the printer. Any insight from anyone?
Thanks in advance.
This reply is probably a bit too late for you, but i've just got an X1180 working with Gutsy Gibbon... further info, I followed the original 'How To' but didn't get any output at the end, however by going to System>Administration>printing>new printer I was able to work through the wizards until I found the Z600 option and selected that.
I tried the HOW TO and got this error:
aj@aj-desktop:~$ mv CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz lexmark
aj@aj-desktop:~$ tar -svzf CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz
tar: You must specify one of the `-Acdtrux' options
Try `tar --help' or `tar --usage' for more information.
aj@aj-desktop:~$ tar -xvzf CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz
tar: CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory

HELP please!
For whatever it's worth, I got an X1150 shared across the network working under Gutsy after much wailing and gnashing of teeth. The how-to executed perfectly (minus the USB part because of the network connection) except for the fact that nothing happened when submitting print jobs. A tip somewhere along the way to install libstdc version 5 got me going:
From the looks of it, Gutsy installs version 6 but 5 is necessary here. ??? Anyway, thanks much for the leg up to all and sundry.yeah...i got that too with breazy. you can go to
System ->Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager
search for libstdc, and install version 5.

Howdy all, I've been trying to use these instructions for my Lexmark 510 series, but I have trouble when I get to this part:
I can get to the fstab file, open it, and enter the new code, but it won't let me save it. Do I need to log in as root to fix this? Thanks in advance.If you get no output, mount the usb filesystem.
Add this to your /etc/fstab file:
Then just type: sudo mount usbfs. That should fix it.Code:usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=14,devmode=0660 0 0
Edit: Logged in as root, edited the file, IT WORKS! One less reason to use XP! Now to get my webcam working...
