I emerged cups, the drivers for my Lexmark Z65 aren't available, I found some drivers for lexmark Z53 in the list in cups, but with that driver I can only print white pages

wich is not ok :!:

From the site of lexmark I downloaded this file:
http://downloads.lexmark.com/cgi-perl/downloads.cgi?ccs=21:1:0:340:0:0&emeaframe=&fileID=1282&searchLang=en&searchLang=en

I ran the included script, but the only output it gave me was:

How did you uncompress and untar the original file? It seems like you did not uncompress it because it still has .gz in the name. Try running the following command on the original file from the lexmark site:

You might want to check out the wiki at gentoo-wiki.com theres a guide there for making various lexmark printers work, it worked for my Z515.

Only thing is I did end up replacing that when it dawned on me I had an epson lying around that could clean its print heads without windows software

Coool this 'almost' worked for me!
I was working my way in this direction

but I sure as hell wouldn't have fixed it in the first 2 weeks

So no I have my Z65 printer in cups with the Z65 driver.

The only problem now is, I only get: 'Cannot Process Raster' when I try to print the test-page!

I removed the printer from cups, and added a new printer, now when I try to print a test page, all I get is: Starting ESP Ghostscript 7.07.1..."
