printer prints blank pages that say GPL Ghostscript 906 (ps2write) %%LanguageLevel: 2
My Lexmark C34dn printer prints mostly blank pages that say:
GPL Ghostscript 906 (ps2write) %%LanguageLevel: 2 %%CreatopmDate: D:20131212141546 I have Ubuntu 12.10. I have double checked to see if my printer or software is setup to print blank pages. It is not. It does this no matter what software I used to print (OpenOffice, Librewrite, etc.) How can I stop this huge waste of paper!!! Sometimes when I print double sided it prints 1 blank page between each page of paper so if I print 30 copies it prints 30 blank pages!!! Help!!! |
As someone who investigated replace cartridge business and knew a girl who worked on Lexmark's tech support, take it as a gentle shove to get a printer.
Lexmark could afford to _pay_you_ to take their printers because they make a mint on the cartridges. They nearly give them away. Lexmark are _the_worst_value_ in the replacement cartridge business. They also give the least ink. The girl spent her day convincing people who had just bought a printer that they were out of ink already, and then taking flak. |
It could be a problem with Ubuntu's driver: try getting this package

I like my Lexmark printer. At the time in 2009/2010 it was the best deal for a 1200dpi color laser printer and it still works great. I have only changed the cartridges once.
The only problem I have is when printing under Ubuntu it prints many blank "info" pages and wastes paper. ---------- Post added 12-13-13 at 12:47 PM ---------- Quote:

Usually that's an issue of using the wrong ppd.
Lexmark are always the best value in printers and the worst in Cartridges. That's their business model. One cartridge in 3 years on a Lexmark? That leaves me suspecting your memory ;-). |
