I am overseas am not able to download the latest CUPS updates on my desktop computer and check if it has fixed the issue with my Lexmark Printer/Scanner/ Fax.

I will check it when I get home.

For the time being I have changed the status to 'Fix committed'

If the problem persists after the latest CUPS updates are installed & in Ubuntu 9.04. I will report the bug again.

Thanks

Changed in cups (Ubuntu):
status:	New → Fix Committed

Did you ever get this printer to work with Linux? I fear that there is no suitable Linux driver available for this model and that this is the manufacturer's fault. Therefore we at Ubuntu cannot fix this bug. The last uploads of CUPS do several general fixes but they do not add support for this printer model. Therefore I close this bug now. If you have found a working driver for this printer, please tell.
