Could be a duplicate of bug #661814. Can you try cups-1.4.6-2.fc14 as described in bug #661814, comment #9.
I installed the packages for cups-1.4.6-2.fc14 as described in bug #661814, comment #9 and tried 'Print Test Page' from the Printing Configuration. Same behaviour (job immediately listed as completed but no actual printout) as before. When hitting 'Print Self-Test Page' I get the following error: CUPS Server Error There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-document-format-not-supported'. Hope that helps.

Ok, I had been actually expecting it (bug #661814, comment #11) ;-) The work-around for your problem should be to use foomatic/ljet4 driver. > When hitting 'Print Self-Test Page' I get the following error: > CUPS Server Error > There was an error during the CUPS operation: > 'client-error-document-format-not-supported'. That's ok, your printer probably doesn't support that.
Same printer as in bug #670089 so marking as duplicate of bug #661814. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 661814 ***
Thanks, your workaround does the trick (change the driver via system-config-printer, Make-Model-> change to foomatic/ljet4).
Is this a PostScript aware printer? The original driver you were using was a PostScript one, and that shouldn't take very long to transfer to the printer.
(In reply to comment #6) > Is this a PostScript aware printer? According to this document http://support.lexmark.com/index?page=content&actp=PUBS&locale=en&segment=SUPPORT&userlocale=EN_US&id=PU56506&productCode=LEXMARK_E120N p. 390 E120n supports PostScript. > > The original driver you were using was a PostScript one, and that shouldn't > take very long to transfer to the printer. It didn't "take long". It completed, but didn't print anything. With foomatic/ljet4 it is reasonably fast, at least the test page and a pdf that I tried so far.
Created attachment 477793 [details] OpenOffice.org-generated PostScript file Could you please save this attachment as test.ps and print it like this?: lp -oraw test.ps This sends the file directly to the printer without modification. If this works, please then try this command: lp test.ps What results do you get?

OK, and how about 'lp /usr/share/cups/data/testprint'?
