Lexmark Z715 printer unresponsive

Asked by Bob Gillaspy

Found and installed drivers for Lexmark Z600 series to run my Lexmark Z715. I do not remember the source of this information, but it seemed very complete. BTW, I am a newbie to Linux and Ubuntu.
Used the System-Administration-Printing to set the printer up with this set of drivers. Tried to print a test page and absolutely no result. Here is the error report (I seem to have clicked on the test report button 3 times).

Page 1 (Choose printer):
{'cups_dest': <cups.Dest object at 0x87062c0>,
 'cups_instance': None,
 'cups_queue': 'Z700-P700_Series',
 'cups_queue_listed': True}
Page 2 (Check printer sanity):

 'cups_printer_dict': {'device-uri': u'usb://Lexmark%20/Z700-P700%20Series',

                       'printer-uri-supported': u'ipp://localhost:631/printers/Z700-P700_Series'},
 'is_cups_class': False}
Page 3 (Printer state reasons):
{'printer-state-message': '', 'printer-state-reasons': 'none'}
Page 4 (Print test page):
{'test_page_attempted': True,
 'test_page_completions': [(3,
                            u'Job stopped due to filter errors; please consult the error_log file for details.')],
 'test_page_job_id': [3],
 'test_page_job_status': [(2, 'Z700-P700_Series', 'evolution job #1'),
                          (3, 'Z700-P700_Series', 'Test Page')],
 'test_page_successful': False}
Page 5 (Printer state reasons):
{'printer-state-message': '/usr/lib/cups/filter/rastertoz600 failed',
 'printer-state-reasons': 'none'}

Any help is much appreciated.

I found the information at the following website to be most helpful:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters/LexmarkZ705
I followed the directions and now Ubuntu communicates well with the LexmarkZ715. Top margin white space is minimal --- hopefully I can increase top margins to work around this. Otherwise, all looks fine.
