Has anyone had any luck with the driver for this printer? If I try
to install it through the Control Center, I don't get very far because
this model isn't listed. The list only goes up to Z32... So I went to
Lexmark's website and they have a download for it though they say it's
for Linux Mandrake 7.0 (even though the previous link states RedHat.)
I downloaded that, and ran the file. It unpacks the rpm together
with some install scripts then runs the installer, which installs the
printer at /dev/usb/lp0 (that's where the printer is located on the usb
bus...) However, towards the end of the installer, this error pops up:
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.39413: line 16: [: too many arguments while
executing "close $io"
I can choose to continue or cancel the installation. Cancelling
will simply quit. Continuing seems to go just fine and I get the
cartridge alignment program. However, when I get to print anything (the
cartridge alignment, or the test page), another message pops up:
Error: lpr: The printer or class was not found.
When I look in the stack trace, I see this:
lpr: The printer or class was not found.
while executing
"exec lpr -P$printqueue $installpath/$testpagefile"
invoked from within
".top21.can24.can27.but37 invoke"
("uplevel" body line 1)
invoked from within
"uplevel #0 [list $w invoke]"
(procedure "tkButtonUp" line 7)
invoked from within
"tkButtonUp .top21.can24.can27.but37
"
(command bound to event)
Now what? When I look in /proc/bus/usb/devices, the relevant part says:
T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=02 Dev#= 3 Spd=12 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=043d ProdID=0021 Rev= 1.00

E: Ad=05(O) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 64 Ivl=0ms
E: Ad=81(I) Atr=02(Bulk) MxPS= 16 Ivl=0ms
So, I'm stuck. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this
printer working?
