how do I uninstall the old printers? I'm attaching my printcap file. There is a usblp0 in the printer1 entry.
forgot the printcap: its at the bottom of this msg
What, exactly, do I have to uninstall? printer definitions or drivers? Is there a command line tool, and how do I use it. Should I remove the lp entries or rename the printer1 ones to lp?
Thanks Jennifer

Two things: The drivers provided by Lexmark are just for use with a paralel port. First uninstall the drivers, then you have to install the drivers using a console (none of the graphical installers either kpackage or yast), unzip the drivers in a temp dir and type rpm -i lexmark52 (or whatever the name of the unzipped drivers). Good luck. Guillermo

lexmark has drivers for lexmark z52, but I can't manage to get my printer to use them. Somehow, PPP is getting mixed up in this. When I try to print, the console says: spongebob-linux pppoe[10266]: read (asyncReadFromPPP): Input/output error
How do you set up a USB printer? Yast2 won't let me setup my z52 as a USB printer. It gives a warning about GDI printers and says I should check lexmark for drivers. At that point, I'd already installed the z52 drivers.
