and I do not have a "Lexmark C543" printer.
With cups-browsed installed (and all the other packages) what happens is that with the update (which may be a situation that people encounter, it is not so rare that you begin and do not have a printer, do an update and then you decide to attach that printer, you have cups-browsed installed but it is not running but deactivated by default. Which is odd, how many laserprinter have pdf 1.7 emulation. I went to a sellers webpage and searched actively: brother, lexmark, all have but(!) only the higher models. A lot of what is out there still is a) convenient - because not brand new and b) does have postscript by default. So in my view, at least a popup in yast (where I did do my trials) would not be bad. I did read at the time the release notes, so that is why I
Just stop, and install the printer as Patrick says.
BTW. There is an existential question that is in my heard since some time. I have both: the foomatic and the gutenprint driver. Is there a difference and why we have two projects for filters? Does anybody know by chance? Currently I am running foomatic.
Install both. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))
