In case it is the driver, have you tried downloading new ones from Lexmark's site? Also, I think the Z53 drivers are tied to GhostScript. Have you looked into a problem with that? I ask these questions, because I am printing from 9.0 to a Z53 flawlessly (text, color, and photographs). I'm am using the stock drivers (z53 and ghostscript and cups) that came with 9.0, well, I might have updated the ghostscript through Mandrake Update (I can't remember if it was 8.2 or 9.0 and I'm not at that computer right now).yes, the 3 drivers in ghostscript are:-
Anyway, you could always try (I know, for yet another time), to uninstall cups, uninstall the drivers, delete the print spool and configuration directories and start it over from scratch.

CUPS+Gimp+print v4.2.2
Foomatic+Gimp-print
Foomatic+Gimp-print-ijs (this is new to M9.0, never had it before)
in addition to Lexmark's own driver,
Foomatic+Lexmarkinkjet, which I cannot get to work at all.
Ive forgotten how to do the post install config, seem
to remember there were complicated symlinks to do.
Since all three ghostscript produce satifsfactory test pages
I don't really suspect the drivers as such.
They are all under CUPS.When you "test Page" you are
instructing directly , very little spooling involved,
it's a direct call between driver and printer, or
that is how I understand it.
Now recently kde have been intergrating more of the spooling
software into kde CC , and before these days , spooling was
largely qtCups and worked well.I suspect
that the intergration is not going smoothly.
However before I start removing and installing things,
may I ask of you, is your install the download M9.0
version or are you using powerpack. I may have a duff
download, though all three iso files passed the md5sum test.
Also, I may have a an error in my cd write, though I take
particular care to do a slow 4x write burn.
Also when you
configure your spooling apps do you call on the
command line #gtcups or do you use like me the
kde CC -system-print manager- instances - settings - driver settings
I would just like to eliminate possibilities before I
start removing and reinstalling, thats all.
