Folks,
I've been helping a friend convert their Windows machine to SuSE...
Has anyone successfully installed the Lexmark Z600 inkjet (USB) under SuSE 9.2 ?
The answer is yes, and currently I have a Lexmark Z702 printer installed and running on an AMD64 SuSE 9.2 system. Lexmark, has a driver for the Z600 type ... look for it on their website. Install it, if I remember correctly the old driver they had required a specific version of CUPS, a redhat package. There's also another site, that has created drivers for the Lexmark printers, based on their printer SDK. Google for it, it's in .dk if I remember correctly.
Oh, before I forget, it's SuSE installed on a Sony VAIO w/256MB and P4-2.4Ghz.
I have spent many hours over the last 3 days with no joy.
Basically, I installed CUPS and it did not find the printer, but it did find "on" out there on /dev/usblp0 and would not configure it properly. Seaching the web, I found Thorton's Home Page where he describes installing a Dell A920 (Z600 printer rebranded), but for RedHat 9.0.
Next, I dropped over to Lexmark's site and read what I could there under the Linux DDK and grabbed a copy of the PPD they had there for the Z600 series. The version of CUPS installed is 1.1.21-16 (latest as of last week). After following Thorton's directions, I got the PPD installed in /usr/share/cups/model/Lexmark and CUPS found it on the next pass.
The printer installs just fine (according to YAST), but will not respond to test pages, etc.
Next I fired up CUPS via http://localhost:631 and walked through the manager: A) stopping and restarting the printer. B) resumitting a test page C) Deleting and recreating the printer. Still no luck.
The PPD is not enough for the Lexmark printers. There's a raster filter as well, that needs to be run. You'll find it in the Lexmark cups package. http://users.netwit.net.au/~pursang/lex.html
