Lexmark Z11 under Slackware 9.0

gearip · 07-13-2003, 02:26 PM

Has anybody installed this piece of work under Slackware (9)? If so, could you give me a little bit of how-to installing this printer (cups needed, I think).
Thanx. Have a good day.

Hi,

I tried using the lz11 .ppd file, but it doesn't work...

It sends the job (I think), but nothing happens with the printer.
When I try to restart the job, I get this error: client-error-not-possible

I do not know, whats wrong, can anyone help?

After reading some more in the forum, i tried downloading the lz11.tar.gz from linuxprinting.org. Just unpack the archive, cd into it and run ./lz11.install choose to install the foomatic driver...

Now it works!

By the way, it works "out of the box" with Mandrake 9.1, if anyone would like to know. :-)

Peace!

I was using Debian testing, when I got it working... But it's dead under stable!

I think it's due to old software (CUPS etc.)!

Peace!

FWIW - I was able to get it working under Slack-current (9.1), but had to install the foomatic db and db-engine as well. Just trying to install the driver from SourceForge (via the LinuxPrinting.org link above) didn't work, even though I had the ppd and foomatic gs-wrapper files. See my post here.
