Lexmark x502n: Apple Support Communities. This documents the step by step required to fix the problem. Several solutions are posted. I had someone search for this term today so that’s why this post is made.

beerlao has the solution:

Hi,

just have a look into your CUPS error log. In my case it said:

Unable to execute /Library/Printers/Lexmark/LexmarkX500MFP/LexmarkX500Filter.app/Contents/MacOS/L exmarkX500Filter: insecure file permissions (0100755)

Setting the the driver directory and its contents to root:admin (user:group) did the trick for me:

chown -R root:admin /Library/Printers/Lexmark/LexmarkX500MFP

You need root privileges to do that.
