Unhappy Printer is not working in redhat 7.3


How to install lexmark driver in 7.3 with the rpm. When I install the driver rpm the files are there but at the xtermal when I type in lexmarkinstall (needed to do this in mandrake 8.1 to set up driver after running the rpm), after setting up rpm form lexmark, My system said it is not there.


The driver in redhat only prints one page not all of them.

in general (as i don't know the lexmark rpm's for i don't use them)
after installing rpm -ivh nameofpackage.rpm

you can; rpm -qa|grep -i name or partofnamefrompackage
to see if they are really there
then you can: updatedb to update your slocate database (be root)
then: slocate lexmarkinstall to see where its put
maybe lexmarkinstall is not in your path; cd into the path and do
./lexmarkinstall (it fires up? adapt your path or symlink it)
or its name is slightly different (like Lexmarkinstall) ?

I know you can do a find for lexmarkinstall but slocate works
much faster
just some wild guesses but maybe worth trying
