    I hate to say that I fixed my Lexmark issues by purchasing an Epson.
    I had many problems with the Lexmark driver and with their stupid ink
    cartridges. I didn't print enough and the cartridges would just quit
    working and no amount of cleaning would ever get them to work. :(

    The Epson printer turned out to cost less than the Lexmark cartridges. :)

    I do know that there is an issue with Lexmark doing spyware/data
    gathering with their Windows drivers.

    I am not the only person that had problems with their Lexmark printer.

    Have you looked at just using Cups?
