I'm trying to get a Dell 720 printer to work and have followed the how-to http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Lexmark_Printers but I can't get it to work. Every time I give the ./z600 it doesn't output anything. In the discussions and bug tab section of the how-to other people have had the same problem. I followed their instructions and I now have a /dev/usb/lp0 now but I still can't get a reply from the ./z600. Can anyone shed some light on my problem?

Do you know which lexmark it is? My lexmark uses the hpijs gernerated driver and doesn't work well (if at all) w/ any other.

Other people who got their Dell 720 to work said that the Z615 will work on it. I guess I should ask if it matters that I don't switch to udev seeing how everyone else with a Dell 720 didn't need to. Or does it vary from system to system and not based on the print it self.

Following that howto mine's working well. I had no output from ./z600, but I went on with the other steps and ended up with a working printer. I'm using udev btw...

Bump

Hi.

I have a Dell 924 Photo printer.
I don't get any output from ./z600 either, I tried to just continue but get an error when printing test page : "Cannot Process Raster".
After some googling I found out that severel people got the same error, any they all experinced permission problems. That is not the case here.
All suggestion are appreciated.

Paul
