Thanks for getting back to my problem, after doing all the updates yesterday I tried again with the Lexmark X2650 on my 64 bit Ubuntu 11.10 but it still seems to come up with the same install routine and flags up with the "cups-invalid-filter" (or words to that effect I'm not in front of the Desktop at the moment) and the installed icon has the red exclamation mark as before.
I've checked the kernel is 3.0.0.13-22 but I am not sure about the cups version (there have been many updates but I don't remember the current status of that.
The supplied Lexmark driver software still fails to install stopping at the "connect USB" stage, even if the printer auto-install routine has finished in the above state. It still asks for the USB to be connected after the connection is made.
I now have an HP Jetdesk 1050A printer which works with my laptop but would still like to resolve the problem with the Lexmark printer/scanner.
