Re: Lexmark Z55 install

[gob <gob@subdimension.com>]

Thanks for that Paul.  The original post was lost from this thread 
unfortunately.  There I'd explained that I'd downloaded this driver (as 
per your link), and couldn't install as the Debian directory structure 
wasn't allowed for.  Jans' advice got me through that, and I've the 
driver installed correctly.

I am now wondering if theres a port configuration problem on my 
computer, as there is no response to
$ cat /home/sig/testfile.txt > /dev/lp0

I have a kernel message of
parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [PCSPP(,...)]
lp0: using parport0 (polling)

When I installed the system, I chose 'no' when it asked if I am using a 
postscript printer.  Is this correct?

Thanks for your help.
