problem after printer install

[Willardv]

Hi everyone;

I'm a newbie who has flirted with Ubuntu a few times in the past.

I've recently installed Kubuntu 10.10 on my Acer Aspire One ZG5 netbook. Everything works pretty well and I'm enjoying it so far.

One problem - I have a Lexmark S405 inkjet printer - for which I installed drivers the other day. The install goes fine and the printer does work - but upon next boot, there is an error loading Kate - and then some sort of script editor pops up.

Uninstalling the driver package seems to fix the error message but it's back upon re-install. Didn't have this with my Ubuntu VM on my desktop. The printer does still work.

How to fix?
