4.bis Under kubuntu I needed to purge CUPS under adept to reinstall the drivers and to make the changes functional.
It works fine

4.ter Under Edubuntu 6.1O, with sudo dpkg to have administrator rights, and a reboot to make the drivers visible, it worked just fine for a Lexmark Z640.
    Rebooting isn't necessary, since the drivers affect CUPS and not the kernel. -dmaz
