** Description changed: I recently installed my Lexmark E120n (E120 with a network interface in addition to the USB) on Maverick. Unfortunately, printing didn't work, neither via USB nor via ethernet. The problem manifests itself in the printer starting to roll the drum, but never actually feeding the paper from the feed. Upgrading to Natty didn't help, neither did the driver from openprinting.org; yet I'm fairly certain it worked out-of-the-box in prior versions of Ubuntu. It really seems to be due to an incorrect PPD file, created by PPD-O-MATIC. The problem, and a solution which worked for me as well, have been described here (props to user ChiVampir): http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/problems-with-lexmark-e120n-printer-after-installing-ubuntu-10-10-a-837428/ TL;DR: replace the contents of the file /etc/cups/ppd/Lexmark-E120n.ppd by the one attached to this bug (which was seemingly written by Lexmark themselves, judging from the copyright notice). Ubuntu should be distributed with the latter from the start, or a working alternative. Even though I already had a solution, I decided to report this bug since, firstly, it took me some time to find the correct solution (and one needs to have a linuxquestions.org account to access the file), and secondly, I think that Ubuntu should be as flawless an experience as possible _especially_ in the regime of printing (for which Linux has some notoriety), and this is a showstopper. Apparently not too many people are keen on testing different printer models - well, here you go. One down, N-1 more to go.
