I am trying to use a Lexmark z35 inkjet printer with SuSE 8.1 personal. I was able to use this printer without any trouble in Mandrake 8.2 using the Lprng print spooler.
I have tried to install the lprng spooler in SuSE two ways: first I tried by choosing printer configuration in YaST2. I selected Lprng as the printing system I wanted to use, but after YaST2 was done installing the packages from CD1 and 2 the printer configuration still said that no spooler was installed.
The second way that I tried to install lprng was to download lprng-3.8.12-46.i586.rpm from rpmseek.com. The rpm package was from SuSE 8.1 (so it said). After installing this rpm YaST2 told me that I had a corrupted or incomplete lprng installation. I tried the same rpm from a number of different servers all with the same result.
An interesting thing about the rpm that I downloaded is that I was able to install the lexmark printer driver and print pdf files with the lprng print spooler, but I could not print any other type of file (jpg, tif, openoffice.org documents, etc.)
I hope someone has the answer. Thank you for your time and suggestions.
Sorry for the previous hijacking
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 -- The most valueable Treasure you have, lay within you.
