Ugh I just dont understand why that driver that I got off their site wont work! If it worked that would solve my problems

Don't give up! There's gotta be a solution somewhere...

It can't install the driver until you install the tcl package. If need be, you could just re-install the OS and set up the printer during the install instead of after. That was how I did mine. It is way easier to set up as much as you can during the install. That way in can get needed packages off the CD and it just works when you boot the first time.

I don't have that specific file on mine either. Not sure what it does just that it is looking for it.

I tried setting up printer in the installation of the OS. Just where exactly is the tcls?

It should just install what it needs without you even knowing it is doing it. The installed for Mandrake 9.1 that I used was very very good. I'm sure it is better now that it was then. Mandrake is good for someone just starting with Linux. It installs easy. The only downside is the updating and installing new stuff after the install. That is where the dependancy problems come in.

In one of the last screens you should have a thing to set up all the hardware. One of those will be the printer. Mine just saw the printer and set it up automatically. I did change the settings but that was about it. I wanted a higher resolution is all.

I'm assuming you have a newer Mandrake but I suspect that it is really close. I hope I'm not steering you wrong here. I have never seen anything past 9.2. I did not like 9.2 at all. That was when I switched.

The problem is that when I go to install it shows me a list of Lexmar printers mine is not in this list...


And I instlled the TCL package from rpmseek.com what do I do now?

Try to install the drivers you have. It should be able to install now. If not, post the error.

Not all printers are supported. Those drivers may be the only way to get it to work.

I'm getting clueless over here. See if this helps.

Looks like a good how to. I didn't have much trouble with my printer but I looked to see what was supported THEN went and got a printer. Everybody can't do that though.
