|
|
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? _________________ "Linux is only free if your time is worthless."

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. _________________ "Linux is only free if your time is worthless."

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... |

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.
