Lexmark Optra E310 stopped working after update

Hi y'all

Yesterday, I made an system software update which contained a driver update for my brother-printer... (iMac Aluminum, running OS-X Leopard).

Strange enough, now my Lexmark Optra E310 stopped working. All I get is a page with an error: «offending command: csq»...

The printer is on the compatibility-list of apple and it worked like a charm before I did the update...

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help, pholks!

No solution, I'm afraid, but I have the exact same issue. Same printer model, same circumstances. Is it possible to roll back an update?

From the printer settings / info, in the Driver tab, choose "Lexmark Optra E310" from the "Print Using:" combo box instead of the default selected "Generic Postscript Printer" or whatnot.

Thanks for the tip - had exactly the same problem. Just to clarify, you make the change to the printer driver by selecting Print & Fax from System Preferences.
