No error message when lpadmin command issued. Notes taken as I ran this (and hopefully I'm covering all the bases here): My first bug report so hope I've included everything! The printer does show up in CUPS, but it seems to be impossible to carry out any maintenance on the printer within CUPS (but this may be my 'newbie-ness' showing though). Also, despite CUPS referring to itself as 1.5, the intro screen says 'what's new in CUPS 1.4'. Also previous work suggested that this may be connected to bug 883585. Incidentally it is possible to scan from the printer (it's an all-in-one printer) into Ubuntu, but it seems to be impossible to print out from Ubuntu. A Test Page shows the printer as 'Processing page 1' before eventually throwing an error. The results from this approach is that two printers are installed.but neither of them work.Įither method of installing the printer results in the same scenario - the printer is listed as 'installed', but items in the print queue remain there without no response from the printer. These drivers will install (but if they detect either of the above mentioned packages then installation will fail) but, once you are prompted to connect the printer via USB the error message highlighted above also appears. I also have the drivers from Lexmark (the second install option). On this occasion (following the updated ghostscript) no software was added via the Software Centre. Previously two packages were also added via the Software Centre ( 'lexmark-legacy-wsu (1.0-1)' and 'lexmark- inkjet- legacy- wjre (1.0-1)' but my most recent attempt to rectify this fault was following updates to fix bug 897309. The printer is added and does show up in CUPS.

If I connect the printer via USB and wait for 'auto-detection', the system is able to determine that a Lexmark S405 has been added (and adds the printer as a 'S300-S400-Series'. from a clean install of the printer), I have two options to proceed: Following the upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 my Lexmark S405 now is unable to print.Īfter removing all previous drivers (i.e.
