The user found his own solution. Great work! Many people give up when they have their Macs in a business environment.
Hmm – found a solution.
Deleted all references to the printer and the Windows Print Server in the Keychain – and i works?
Looks like there is a problem overwriting some stored keys???

iOS: AirPrint 101. So is there a third-party way to get printers that are not AirPrint ready compatible with it? I really want to stick with Canon printers. All the printers on this list are HP. I wonder if they had an exclusive with them?
Canon Pixma MG8120 Printer Review | PCWorld. I have had great experience with Canon printers. Much better than other printers I have used both in cross-platform compatibility, ink cost and reliability. I had a friend who was thinking of getting a Mac All In One or MFC so this is going to be my suggestion. Prices have gone under $200 so this is a steal. It even has wireless!
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.

I shared my experience in this comment:
Unfortunately all brands have problems. The most problematic for me have been Epsons, Lexmark and Brother. The best have been Canon. I have loved the canon printers i have had. HP laser jet printers tend to be good. If you have an HP you might need drivers that HP doesn’t provide. You might find this useful.
