Lexmark Z11, Would like someone to write a how to so I can set it up.

[MacTown06]

Currently I know hardly anything to give you hints. I know that the printer is actually a Lexmark Z11 rebought and resold by compaq so that really may help. I got the printer to work with Mandrake but I dont actually know how i did it, it just did it by it self.

I also tried using a Lexmark Z11 driver with cups which didnt work. I bet i just wasnt doing it right but I tried it about a million times so I gave up.

please help.

install cupsys,
run cupsd
open up your favorite browser and enter http://localhost:631/
then setup your printer.

or

in kcontrol (kde control center) you can navigate to peripherals >> printer and set it up.

look around on linuxprinting.org

i realize that you may not run gentoo, but they still have some good references so check out their printing manual (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/printing-howto.xml), it tell you what you need to get setup, then once you have what you need it tells you how to get it working

i finnally fixed it... thanks for trying but i got it myself.


in /usr/lib/cups/filter there is a file called "foomatic-rip" that links to somthing that dose not exsist. I downloaded foomatic-rip and installed it. Then i did a "ln -s /usr/bin/foomatic-rip /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip" and now my printer finnally works!

thanks anyways.
