Lexmark X6100 series just doesn't work. The entire install went fine, and the test page is sent, but no soap... I also tried every swinging driver under Lexmark and got the same results... looks like i'll be in the market for a printer...

It worked!! My Lexmark z515 it's alive and works!!!!!
Many thanks for your help!!!
Same here and it looks like we're not alone. I think I've read all the support sheats there is on the net. It seems so easy but I JUST can't get it to WORK!Originally Posted by franohern
The last I found was this: http://www.staerk.de/thorsten/module...article&sid=43 but no luck there either *cry*
Any ideas?
I love you guys/gals for all your help. I've been stuck with this for two weeks now and it's beginning to get on my nerves
That is: no output for the last step. Everything SEEMS to be working, but when my job exits the printing queue, nothing prints.

please help, i get this exact same problem. i've read through all ten pages and found that many people have had this problem but no one has posted any way to fix it. is there any way to fix it, or should we just give up?
but, the printer that i'm using is the dell j740, and i don't know if the z600 is the right printer or not, is there any other way to find out what what lexmark drivers i need to get to use for the dell J740?

I am a newbie who is trying to get his shiny new Ubuntu operating system fully up and running and configured.
Unfortunately the only printer that I have available at this time is a LEXMARK 810. From searching these forums I see that Lexmark does not like to play nice with open source.
I have tried this walkthrough for the z600 driver without any troubles, but when I try to print a page the process stops immediately with the STATUS:
Paused: Both cartridges are invalid. Please use appropriate cartridges.
Interestingly I got a similar warning in *******(TM) but pages would still print correctly. I suspect that this has to do with being in East Berlin and the ink cartridges and Lexmark software somehow not matching up.
Is there any hope for getting around this problem?

Everyone -- I'm so sorry I haven't been here for a long time so I haven't been able to help you guys.
I figured out your problem -- you need to mount the usb filesystem. Add this line to /etc/fstab
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=14,devmode=0660 0 0
Then type
sudo mount usbfs
Try the backend again and it should work.
Okay, I just had to reinstall because of the lexmark driver
I have no idea why it is doing that... apparently it causes GDM to just _DIE_.
If anyone is running Dapper - DO NOT USE THIS DRIVER YET until I can figure this out.
Hello!
I am new in the forum, but I used ubuntu for a long time, since Hoary. The HowTo always worked so far. But I reinstalled Ubuntu, using dapper flight 6 because of improved wireless support for my notebook, and so I did take the same steps hoping my lexmark z513 printer work, as it did at previous trials. I did not folowed the thread up to the end, and did not see your advice. Now I am without GDM as the other people. In my case, using XFCE as my default wm, only typing "startx" resolves, but if you get a solution to the GDM problem please inform.
Thanks... Didn't work though My system tells me my USB-port is already mounted on /proc/bus/usb. Still no output from backend!Originally Posted by black hole sun
