printer will not work

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. Is this problem Firefox specific or is it a problem with all applications? Did you set up the printer yet? Do you just need help configuring the printer?

Hello,
Yes the printer is set up and working fine with windows Vista.It also works
fine with Internet Explorer and with Firefox. It refuses to work in Ubunto
9.04. I have a Lexmark x1240 All In One multifunction printer.The problem
seems to start right in the beginning . When I want to print, the software
cannot locate the right printer and further cannot locate the drivers. After
I try to print, I get this error message: Cups server error. There was an
error during the cups operation: Client-error-document-format- not
supported. I have completely uninstalled the ubuntu 9.04 software and
reinstalled it again with no difference. I can say this, the software is
installed using the "intall inside windows" method. Don't know if that would
make any difference but thought I'd mention it. Hope you can help. I do like
using Ubuntu on my computers. Thank you for your help. Duane Menart

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better.
