installation CUPS + LexmarkZ55
Hi,
It is my first try to install the above printer with CUPS on USB. I
followed the instructions to install the propriatary driver
(http://www.linuxprinting.org/lexmark-faq.html#s_15) and then I followed
this thread: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2002/07/msg00877.html
1) I installed the following packages: cupsys, cupsys-bsd, cupsys-client
and foomatic-bin, foomatic-db-engine, foomatic-filter.
2) I installed the foomatic-lexmark-kit, run the install and
lexmarkinstall scripts where it generated a ppd file (the one forme the
Z53 model)
3) ls -l /dev/usb/lp0 -> crw-rw-rw- 1 lp sys 180, 0 2002-03-14 22:54
/dev/usb/lp0
4) I copied this ppd file to /usr/share/cups/model/Lexmark
5) I restarted cups
6) I added my printer through the user interface.
7) I modified the /etc/cups/printers.conf so that "DeviceURI test:/dev/null"
8) I restarted cups
9) I try to print a test page and ....
... of course, as a first try it doesn't work! So I read the logs and I
can see the line:
"D [09/Oct/2004:13:56:00 +0200] [Job 10] sh: /usr/local/lexmark/z53/z53:
No suchfile or directory" which doesn't exist since I have the Z55 model
running with the Z53 ppd file.
I made a symlink of /usr/local/lexmark/z53/z53 to
/usr/local/lexmark/z55/lexmarkz55 which seems to be the Z55 driver, but
now the error is:
"D [09/Oct/2004:13:05:58 +0200] [Job 9] Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open
display:"
I can see the jobs in the queue with a "plq" but they are not coming out
to the printer. So as you see I am stuck. Does anyone have some ideas
that I can try?
Nico
