Re: Lexmark 5700/5770 printer help please



What do you mean you installed driver?

I do not know Suse, but if it is like RH like, you need to install
several programs in debian.

gohstscript, lprng or lpr, ...

If you need printtool, get it from pool (woody) and install all required
programs.  Thogh printtool only works with lprNG despite its claim at
this moment  (Sorry, my fault.)  lprngtool may be alternative. 

apsfilter with lpr or magicfilter with lprng may be good alternative in
potato.  good luck.
