Dell 1135n Linux Driver Error
I just bought myself the Dell Printer 1135n and installed your Linux drivers on my Ubuntu 10.10 netbook.
It all seems to work until the point of printing something (like a testpage). Then I get the error:
"Stopping job because the scheduler could not execute a filter"
Please Help!

It is caused by a permission error ...
Just have a look into /var/log/cups/error_log there you should see something like
E [23/Apr/2011:12:56:32 +0200] Unable to execute /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstosecps: insecure file permissions (0100777)
E [23/Apr/2011:12:56:32 +0200] [Job 95] Unable to start filter "pstosecps" - Operation not permitted.
E [23/Apr/2011:12:56:32 +0200] [Job 95] Stopping job because the scheduler could not execute a filter.
Then just execute
chmod 755 /usr/lib/cups/filter/pstosecps
and voila the printer is working ...
I am still struggling to get the scanner workin' ...

Thanks for your answer Awelzl!
However, since Dell Support was not willing to event try to help me, without me paying extra for a business service contract (since I bought this printer as private consumer) I already sent the printer back to Dell, but while I was searching for alternative MFP devices to buy as a replacement, I stumbled upon the Samsung SCX 4623FN which looks A LOT LIKE the Dell 1135n - so I decided to download the drivers for this machine and it worked without manually changing any permissions anywhere. Their user-manual also has a chapter about scanning with linux but I did not have the time to try it.
Their manual can be found here: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201011/20101125130011046/EN/User_Guide_en/english/start_here.htm
