[UBUNTU 11.10] Printing problems with Lexmark X6675


When I try to print I get a "The Printer cannot communicate with the computer." error. The printer installs and configures fine. It just won't print.

This worked in 11.04 with gnome 2. and kernel 2.6.38

11.10 brings gnome 3, kernel 3, and a whole mess of other new versions. I've tried reinstalling cups, the printer drivers from here
http://support.lexmark.com/index?loc...ab=DOWNLOADS#1

It just won't work. I am running the the 64bit version of ubuntu 11.10 using the gnome shell. I have a Lexmark X6675 connected via USB cable.

edit: I will at
The printer shows up in lsusb
the printer still works in virutal box with windows XP(running inside said ubuntu machine).

This is my error_log file

Your log file shows several occurrences of line pairs like this:
Code:
D [17/Oct/2011:12:39:58 -0400] Calling DeleteDevice(cups-lexmark_x6675)

This appears to be a bug in your distribution's cups implementation. Red Hat found a very similar (or the same) bug just about 12 days ago ...

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=741697

Perhaps check with Ubuntu for a patch?
