I have checked your current files and came to the following conclusion:
The general, device-independent CUPS filters which come with Ubuntu
(pdftopdf, gstoraster, ghostscript, ...) do their job of preparing and
rasterizing the document for printing correctly. I have tested it by
running the captured PDF files which you have attached through
Ghostscript, using the command lines from your attached error_log files.
The closed-source printer driver filter supplied by Lexmark does bi-
directional communication with the printer through the "usb" CUPS
backend. If the driver is used with a file as output, the first
bidirectional request does not get answered by the printer and the
driver errors out after having sent 33 bytes of commands ("E
[12/Dec/2011:19:39:27 +0000] [Job 72] Printer Error. The printer cannot
communicate with the computer." in your 2nd_cups_error_log). This means
that it is not possible to get the complete output of the Lexmark driver
into a file to print it to the actual printer unfiltered in a separate
step.
The error caused by the printer not answering as we are printing into a
file:
E [12/Dec/2011:19:39:27 +0000] [Job 72] Printer Error. The printer
cannot communicate with the computer.
The driver filter errored out but closed with 0 exit status and
therefore CUPS does not know that there is an error:
D [12/Dec/2011:19:40:01 +0000] PID 5564
(/usr/local/lexmark/legacy/bin/printfilter) exited with no errors.
So CUPS did not kill the other filters and so gstoraster (the wrapper
around Ghostscript) tries to carry on rasterizing the data and errors
out because the process supposed to take its output data disappeared:
D [12/Dec/2011:19:40:01 +0000] PID 5563
(/usr/lib/cups/filter/gstoraster) stopped with status 13.
