I have just connected a Lexmark S605 to a new iMac under 10.8.3 but the printer only prints b&w - no colour. I have checked that I have latest drivers and printer worked fine before. Any ideas?

The Generic PCL Laser driver included with OS X 10.8 will only print in b&w, so maybe your Mac is using this driver. To check, open Print & Scan, select the Lexmark and then click on Options & Supplies. The General tab will show you which driver is being used. Is it using the Generic PCL Laser driver?
