The printer will print a test page and then, anything I give it results in garbage spitting out. Every page gets a bit of it on the top.
"PJL ENTER LANGUAGE = PCLXL ) HP-PCL XL;1;1; Comment Copyright Artifex Software"This is what will come out on the first page of many. The rest just get a bit random gibberish on the top.
Here is a listing of the debugging log in pastebin
I have also tried replacing pxlmono and choosing other drivers like ljet4. It gave a tad better results but the resulting pages still have some garbage on them.
Adding a pastebin listing of the cupsd.conf file:

It seems I have finally fixed my problem. I was having issues like those described on bug #872483. What worked for me was doing:
lpadmin -p printer_name -o usb-no-reattach-default=true
where printer is what is listed by the lpstat -p command.
In my case:
printer Lexmark-E230 is idle. enabled since Wed 19 Jun 2013 03:35:49 PM EEST Sending data to printer.
so the above command becomes:
lpadmin -p Lexmark-E230 -o usb-no-reattach-default=true
Turned the printer off, waited a bit, turned it back on and the tried running some print jobs. It stopped printing gibberish after completing the first print job.
Also, make sure to select a maximum resolution of 600x600 dpi. This is the maximum this printer can do despite what marketing may want you to believe.
