I'm disowning this package, I don't have anymore a Lexmark printer. Thanks everybody for your feedback and help!

Works fine with Lexmark Pro 805. Thanks for the good work!
However, the process "demond" is spamming up the systemd journal with entries such as
Okt 11 04:58:42 demond[1692]: src/discovery.c : 158 getHidDevices -- failed in opening HIDDEV file: /dev/hiddev1. No such file or directory
Those entries appear a 100 times every 15 seconds and quickly fill up the journal. I found a way to shut up demond:
Replace /usr/local/lexmark/legacy/bin/demond with a wrapper script that sets ENABLE_D_LOG=0 and then calls the original demond.
#!/bin/sh
export ENABLE_D_LOG=0
demond $@
Would be nice if you can add this to PKGBUILD. Thanks!

Thank you lto. This https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/902535 Ubuntu bug seems to be relevant. It looks like a problem with newer CUPS. I will try wired connection.

Hello, as I wrote in the lx.install file this package doesn't support USB printing, because I had no success trying to get it working. You should switch to wired/wireless connection in order to enjoy this package

Hi. I want to be sure. USB printing doesn't work and will not work, or I am the only? Printer is detected, errorlog says only some filter error. Frustrating is that I have got some test pages, but not everytime. My printer is S305 and 64bit Manjaro (same as Arch).

After spending many unfruitful hours trying to unpackage the .deb from Lexmark's site and install this manually, I finally noticed that you had already made a PKGBUILD!
I will note that I had to run lx-postinstall.sh as sudo, and not root.

Ok, I tried running lx-postinstall.sh and lxtoolbox under openbox and everything is fine. It turned out to be a problem with xmonad and java. Here is a workaround: http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Xmonad/Frequently_asked_questions#Problems_with_Java_applications.2C_Applet_java_console

I'm not able to reproduce your issue ... however try rebuild the package, I've done some small change. Also be sure to start cups before running lx-postinstall.sh
