The printer did work in Opensuse, but for some reason it does not print in Ubuntu 10.04! When I go to add printer, it detects the printer but does not print. Does anyone have any suggestions? I know they are badly supported under Linux, but this particular printer did work in a Linux machine. All of your help is appreciated.

It looks like you might be able to get this printer to work using the foomatic driver for the Lexmark 5000 series according to [link text][1] [1]: http://forums.linux-foundation.org/read.php?29,926,1503,quote=1/"this link" Otherwise, you're probably out of luck. Lexmarks early printers had pretty terrible linux support and no ones really jumped into supporting them apparently |

Do you remember (or can you check) what printer driver OpenSuse used? Maybe it works with a driver for another printer? |
