1. Lexmark z52 USB on Debian 2.2r3 (Potato)
Hi all,
I've been trying to get a Lexmark z52 USB printer running on my Debian
potato box with no success yet.
This is what I've tried, after consulting the Debian mail archives, google
and the Linux Documentation Project.
1. Recompiled kernel 2.2.18pre21 for modular usb support
2. Installed first with alien, then with rpm the lexmark driver package,
then created script to find the vdk libraries,
so that the control program would run.
3. Installed Ghostscript 6.01
4. Installed Printtool
5. Using printtool, generated the following printcap entries:
##PRINTTOOL3## LOCAL
z52-outfiles:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/usb/lp0:
##PRINTTOOL3## LOCAL
lexmarkz52:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lexmarkz52:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/usb/lp0:\
:if=/usr/local/lexmark/z52/z52.sh:
##PRINTTOOL3## LOCAL
lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp0:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:lp=/dev/usb/lp0:\
:if=/usr/local/lexmark/z52/z52.sh:
So far, all I've been able to do is run the lexmark control program. I can
send a test page to the printer on /dev/usb/lp0 using the control program
and it will print. If I try to use the test pages from printtool, I get a
message indicating the pages have been sent to the queue, but they don't
print. At some point, I had tried using Lprng instead of lpr and got a more
verbose error message ("LINK_TRANSFER FAIL....). I suspect my problems lie
with either lpd or ghostscript but I am really at a loss as to how to
proceed. Any thoughts?
Kind regards,
Don Nash
