Lexmark CS310dn Foomatic/Postscript driver failure

[Roland Hughes]

Mint17 64-bit KDE desktop all updates applied.

This may also be related to the LibreOffice bug creating PDFs. Many thanks to Apple for abandoning proven Postscript technology in favor of a flaky-fuzzy thing like PDF.

Any time LibreOffice opaque transparency error window OR I try to print shipping labels from usps.com from within Okular this driver throws up an error on the printed page.

ERROR:

The numbers change, but the last number always appears to be 5. Rest of the text appears to be consistent across errors.

Super easy to reproduce.

Set Lexmark CS310dn to be default printer
open LibreOffice, if it is not set to default to a new document, create a new document.
Type a test line
Click Format->Page
In the dialog click Page tab change width to 7 and height to 9, click apply then OK
click first printer button to print on default printer

Start button->Settings->Printers
Change driver for Lexmark CS310dn to Generic Postscript
save changes
click the first printer button in LO again.
Same error.

This bug does not effect all printer drivers. The drivers for my HP Officejet Pro 8100 work just fine. The bug appears to be converting something unusable (PDF) into something usable (Postscript).
