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.

Has anyone figured this out yet? I'm on suse 7.1.

Are there any usefull manuals for this type of unix? the ones on the cd dont' seem to help much, and suse support doesn't seem to do anything but send out automated 'we're got your request' messages.

thanks all

Jennifer,

I use a Lexmark Z52 with S.u.S.E 7.1. I'm not using a Usb hookup, I'm running it through LPT1 (Serial Port). I downloaded the Lexmark driver, ran it and it told me that to print I would need to tell Linux to print using the command lpr -Plexmarkz52 . I don't have any problems with it. Nor did I need to use Yast at all.

Try that instead, or look at the doc that was generated at the time you setup your printer.

Good luck !
