Re: CUPS printing, drivers and ppd's
I recently went through setting up my Lexmark Z53... it's a huge hassle!
I recommend getting the foomatic packages, Lexmark's binary filter, the
lexmark-foomatic-kit (see LinuxPrinting.org), and find a PPD file for
your printer that uses the lexmarkinkjet driver (not gimp-print, etc).
You can find this ppd file in an rpm called something like
cups-drivers-lexmark.
Also, check the owernship/permissions on your printing device. Debian
seems to default to root.lp, while cups defaults to run lp.sys... So
modify your /etc/cups/cupsd.conf so that it runs lp.lp (look for the
Group line). Crank up the LogLevel to debug and look at the error log!
Good luck!
