I'm just starting with Linux from Mandrake v 53-2 distrubitor.
I Had trouble setting my Printer Lexmark 1000 in msdos (promt) in win95,

in fact i couldn't set it up.

But in Linux i Would really like to make it work . I try hp 500 setting
in linux
but my printer started to act creasy.I can't use to much driver i think
cause of
the Lexmark one cadrige printer(one cadrige at the time color or black)

Any one could help would be apprreciated.

Thanks in advance

I'm afraid you're out of luck.  Lexmark doesn't document the contorl
codes for this printer, so no one has been able to write a driver for
it to work under Linux.  Embarassingly for Lexmark, they have their
name stamped on the largest group of Linux-incompatible printers.

Note that there is a fellow reverse-engineering the protocol for the
more recent model 7000: http://*.fjfi.cvut.cz/~paluch/l7kdriver/
It's possible that someday in the future he'll expand support to other
Lexmark printers (most of the other inkjets are also unsupported).
