The same happens on Ubuntu 12.04 and I confirm what Vic describes ** Summary changed:
- lexmark e230 can't print correctly in Ubuntu 13.04 + lexmark e230 can't print correctly on Ubuntu 12.04+ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1184597 Title: lexmark e230 can't print correctly on Ubuntu 12.04+ Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The printer is identified correctly and the pxlmono driver is suggested. Getting it to print is the big problem and it's just guesswork when it will works and when it will not. Usually it just spits out garbage When it does that, the first page that comes out has this on it "PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCLXL ) HP-PCL XL;1;1; Comment Copyright Artifex Software" And then it proceeds to empty the tray and every page that comes out has a bit of garbage printed at the top. I've tried switching driver to ljet4 and some others but none solved my issue. Printer used to work in previous versions of Ubuntu.
