Lexmark Z617: Cannot process raster [SOLVED]

[windz]

I have a lexmark Z617 printer. Everytime I try to print something, I get the error "Cannot Process Raster". I have tried 2 ways in order to install the driver:

1. Using the ebuild and following instructions from the Gentoo Wiki.
2. Using the tar CJLZ35LE-CUPS-2.0-1.TAR.GZ and following instructions from the forum here https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=118732.

I read in this forum http://www.linuxprinting.org/pipermail/lexmark-list/2005q3/003194.html that I have to set some permissions to certain directories, namely:
chmod -R +rX /usr/local/z600llpddk/
chmod -R +rX /usr/include/lexmark/
chmod -R +rX /usr/lib/cups/backend/
chmod -R +rX /usr/lib/cups/filter/
chmod -R +rX /usr/share/cups/model/

So, I did just that and I am still having the 'Raster'-error. I have ran out of ideas now. Anyone has any other suggestions, other than to dump this printer for a new one, which I am sorely tempted to do?

HI

chmod 755 has to be done to all /usr/share/cups*

while u r at it, do it to all cups related folders

try - ls -l /usr/share/cups/<all folders> and make sure all files are rwxr-xr-x

see if u have ghostscript-gnu installed.

if u do unmerge it and emerge ghostscript-esp

restart cups - /etc/init.d/cupsd restart

delete printer from http://localhost:631 and create a new one

let me know how it works out

good luck.

Oh my goodness... thank you so much!!! The printer works now.

The permission for the files and folders in /usr/share/cups were already set to 755. It still didn't work then.

After I unmerged ghostscript-gnu and emerged ghostscript-esp, the printer works.

Thanks again.
