HOWTO: Lexmark Printers

[plb]

Hi,
I'm being a bit thick.
Did everything on post #1. Then in
no z600 shows up in the driver list.

I tried a few that do show up - no luck (X1180).

Any ideas?

Same here, here's what I did click the install driver button and goto /usr/share/cups/model and select the z600 driver...from there everything worked for me.

black hole sun,

Thanks, again. I have used your procedure on three different Dapper installations and it worked flawlessly each time. On the most recent install, everything appeared as though I had added the printer through the normal system, it was online and set as default, but still wouldn't print. Again, I use your directions, and viola - she prints.

Thanks, for taking the time to be of such great help.

Great how-to man, I never managed to get my X1185 working in suse, but with edgy it works. I'm a very happy man tonight.

I've got lexmark Z705 printer.
I've followed HOWTO instructions carefully and almost everything works properly. Almost, cause back color is printed about 2 cm. on the left from other colors. It's partly printed besides paper.
What should I do to prevent such a situation? Is it the result of failed instalation, improper driver (I've used one for lexmark Z600, link is given at the begining of this howto) or bad properties?
Thanks in advence!

Could I please suggest that anybody making use of this thread complain to Lexmark about the lack of a driver that works out-of-the box.

Go to www.lexmark.com, select Customer Support and then Technical Support, and you can take a survey on the quality of service provided by Lexmark that allows you to enter specific comments, i.e., that the Linux drivers don't work right.

Regarding your setting up of the Lexmark printer in Edgy, did you do anything differently from what's in the Lexmark Printers thread guide?

I am installing a Lexmark (well, its Dell, rebranded) in Edgy, but I am not sure if I should completely follow the guide, or whether I have to follow the guide at all.
