I have a Dell 924 printer which might work with Lexmark drivers. I followed the startpost procedure and some procedures from other posts. I'm at this point that I'm able to create a new printer and select the pps driver(s). Everything looks OK but no printing at all. Can someone please check below if something went wrong in the process?
-Is it OK that I don't get output when I do this? This should be important for printer backend to find libraries:
$ sudo ldconfig
$
-Then I tried this:
$ /etc/rc2.d/S19cupsys restart
bash: /etc/rc2.d/S19cupsys: No such file or directory
-When I browse to the specific dir, I see this:
/etc/rc2.d$ dir

-No S19cupsys there, so I tried this:
/etc/rc2.d$ S50cups restart
bash: S50cups: command not found
-Then tried if backend works, but NO output again:
/usr/lib/cups/backend$ dir
beh dnssd hp http lpd scsi smb socket z35
bluetooth hal hpfax ipp parallel serial snmp usb z600
es@es:/usr/lib/cups/backend$ ./z35
es@es:/usr/lib/cups/backend$ ./z600
es@es:/usr/lib/cups/backend$
UPDATE: did more research but still doesn't work
-In synaptic I installed al 'cupsys' items
-Some suggestions from other threads I used:
sudo mkdir /etc/cups/interfaces/
sudo gedit /etc/cups/cupsd.config
file is empty but added:
#AuthType Basic
#AuthClass System
-Added cupsys to the shadow group:
sudo vi /etc/group (added cupsys manually at the end of the shadow line)
-Restart of cupsys doesn't work, but this does:
sudo /etc/init.d/cups stop
sudo /etc/init.d/cups start
-I tried this to deactivate the AppArmor protection of CUPS temporarily:
sudo aa-complain cupsd
-Wich version of cupsys is installed:
dpkg -l cupsys | cat
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Cfg-files/Unpacked/Failed-cfg/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend

ii cupsys 1.3.9-17ubuntu3 Common UNIX Printing System (transitional package)
-I worked with CUP via GUI at http://localhost:631
I can add/manage printers and assign drivers. When I check System->Administration->Printing it shows a printer (with a green V or with a red hearth) but when I try to print it says that the printer is offline.
-I added a printer manually:
Via System->Administration->Printing and everything looks OK, it even says that the printer is online/connected. But nothing happens
