The PPD you provided contains some errors (as seen in your CupsErrorLog output) and the license of this file doesn't allow changing:
$ LANG=C cupstestppd lex120n.ppd
lex120n.ppd: FAIL
      **FAIL** Bad Resolution choice PrinterS!
                REF: Page 84, section 5.9
      **FAIL** Bad Resolution choice 1200IQ!
                REF: Page 84, section 5.9

Actually the driver was changed from pxlmono to Postscript starting with maverick (see bug #548747).

But fortunatelly the other drivers are still there, you can change them in System > Administration > Printing (system-config-printer) > Make and model > Change ... > Lexmark > E120n or create several new printing queues with different drivers. Can you try the pxlmono (previous recommended driver, is it very slow with graphics as mentioned in bug #548747?), hpijs-pcl5e (this is currently the recommended driver for the E120 without network) and ljet4 (recommended in bug #548747, ljet4d is for duplex) drivers?
Which driver gives the best print quality (try text/lineart/graphics) and which the best printing speed? Can you make an ordered list of the drivers starting with the driver you think works best to worst or not at all. How does it compare to the PPD file you added to this bug report?
Also does this printer support automatic double sided printing (duplex)? Optional module?
