Ok. What is the printer you are trying to use? What drivers/filters you want to use with it? What spooling system you are going to configure? What are the instructions you are referring to?

Enscript is just a tool to format plain ascii text files for your printer[That is: postscript; every printer in a linux world ultimately works as a postscript printer] (or some other formats). You don't need it to print a web page; your web browser does the formatting for you.

Ghostscript is used to render postscript. Either to the screen, files(png, etc), or to some printer spesific formats. Besides that, there are other tools/filters that formats ps input for a spesific printer (like the gimp-print package).

I'm trying to use a lexmark z25 ink jet printer.I downloaded a driver for it from the suse site,but I'm unable to get it to work.thanks david

Hmm.. no mention of such printer in http://www.linuxprinting.org/ strange..

The driver I found was named as CJLZ35LE-CUPS-2.0-1.TAR.GZ.

The command mentioned in the readme is
(see the dot)

In bash (the default shell) it should also be runnable just by using it's name ( "./lexmarkz25-35.gz.sh") or by clicking the file in question with your favorite file manager or browser.

Thanks I tried everything and always no such file or directory,I know I'm doing something wrong,thanks david

This is where i'm at now;in the konsole it says after I type;
Uncompressing Lexmark z25-z35 Printer Driver
Xlib: connection to ":0-.0" refused by server
Xlib: No Protocol specified

Download the CUPS compatible driver from the Lexmark site rather than the one from SuSE. It installs easily, and works fine in SuSE 9. I've got the same setup running.

That error message suggests that the program can't access your X. Command 'xhost +localhost' (as normal user) can help.

Thanks now it says Directory Stack empty.Help please I think I'm almost there, I hope david

Still says Directory Stack Empty,what does that mean?thanks david
