Hi Pete
I have the same Lexmarkz35 and have the same problem as you. I have downloaded the drivers for linux from lexmark and did exactly as was instructed. I have also posted here this problem a couple of times and till today have no answer on this lexmark z35 printer probleme.
It seems to me we will have to dig in our pockets and get a printer that suits suse. I have looked all over and tryed everything to get this cotton picken printer to work. If no anwser pops up then we will have to keep expermenting until we do. Good look
Since writing my first message about the Lprng problem I have gotten the printer to work. I still can not print from the pixie image viewer but I can print from all other applications that I have tried. I am using a lprng rpm that I downloaded from rpmseek.com the rpm was from the SuSE 8.1 update build. After installing lprng I loaded the lexmark driver and everything worked. If I can be of any help to you let me know.
Hello Pete Thank you for trying to give me a hand at getting the Lexmarkz35 to print. I am glad to see that you have gotten yours to work. Okay this is what I did. 1-Ran Yast, Hardware, Printer, then printer detection. (Auto detect finds First USB printer (/dev/usb/lp0)) then I click on Finish. I would normally click on configure but there is nothing there that works with that will work with Lexz35. 2. I installed the Lexmarkz35 drivers I got from Lexmark support for linux. The installation installed ok. Useing the printer interface from the lexmark driver ,The print alienment test worked ok but slow. When I made a tryed to print a test page however, I got no response. With the kprint manager I tryed changing settings such as lpr/lprng but did not work. I also tryed the cups setting, also without success. Useing SuSE 8.1 with a KDE 3.1 update. Now can you please tell me your proceedure in getting your Lexmarkz35 to run. TIA Ralph The most valueable Treasure you have, lay within you.
