I don't get an error message. It just sits for awhile and then advances the paper without writing anything on it. The printer is connected to a USB port.

Is that with Dapper? Or a previous version of Ubuntu?

If it is Dapper, it sounds similar to the problem some of us have with the Lexmark z53:

@BRIAN
Please don't append a new question on a already answered or marked as solved question.
Please make new question from here: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+addquestion
you will get better chance to get right answer on a fresh tagged "open" question.

Then your Ubuntu may differ from the very old and unsupported Ken, Ubuntu 5.10

Solved or answered question are usually not read from answering people.

Thank you
