DULL QUESTION BUT IS YOUR PRINTER ACTUALLY A Z11.....
AS IT APPEARS THAT APSFILTER ISN'T LINKING THE PRINTER FILTER TO THE DEVICE......
LEXMARK ARE A BIT OF A KNIGHTMARE AS LOTS OF THEIR PRINTERS DO NOT HAVE BUILT IN DRIVERS THEY RELY ON SOFTWARE ON THE PC INSTEAD APSFILTER IS UNABLE TO DRIVE THE PRINTER WITHOUT A DRIVER.......

cONFUSED YOU WILL BE.....................

Lexmark printers = teh evil when it comes to linux

my suggestion is to go buy yourself a nice epson printer.

most printers in the stylus line work great with the ghostscript drivers.

I don't own a Lexmark printer, but I did a quick Google search on

Lexmark Z11 apsfilter

and this link looks promising:

You could also do the Google search and maybe find even more information.

Hope this helps.

Lexmark also offer a linux driver from their website
but yould need gcc g++ make etc to install....its a source tarball
