Hello,

First of all, on an earlier gentoo installation, my Lexmark Z705 worked without problems. I wanted to adapt it again on my system again, but I have massive problems to get it run.
I downloaded the z700 drivers and the supplementary cups drivers. Cups seemed to find the drivers, so I was able to set up my printer.
When I want to print a testpage, nothing happens. In /var/log/cups/error_log is no hint and no error message. The last message which was sent, is

Code:
I [14/Oct/2006:15:49:37 +0200] Started backend /usr/lib/cups/backend/z700 (PID 12106) for job 14.


After this message, nothing is written but my processor load boomed up to 100%. This z700 backend obviously searched for a device called /dev/usblp0, at least the CUPS-config in localhost:631 wrote that: device URI: z700:/dev/usblp0.
I made an udev rule for my printer that /dev/usblp0 is a valid synonym but no results. The problem still exists. Before that I tried to change /etc/cups/printer.conf to point to my previous udev symlink (it was /dev/printer) but I didn't help too.
I have no clue what to do anymore. My printer's power is on. The udev rule is valid. I'm in group usb too.

Any ideas?

What I don't understand too.

udevinfo shows me the following:

Code:
  looking at device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.4/usb2/2-2':
    ID=="2-2"
    BUS=="usb"
    DRIVER=="usb"
    SYSFS{configuration}==""
    SYSFS{serial}=="15L018510049284"
    SYSFS{product}=="Lexmark Z700-P700 Series"
    SYSFS{manufacturer}=="Lexmark "
    SYSFS{maxchild}=="0"
    SYSFS{version}==" 2.00"
    SYSFS{devnum}=="2"
    SYSFS{speed}=="12"
    SYSFS{bMaxPacketSize0}=="8"
    SYSFS{bNumConfigurations}=="1"
    SYSFS{bDeviceProtocol}=="00"
    SYSFS{bDeviceSubClass}=="00"
    SYSFS{bDeviceClass}=="00"
    SYSFS{bcdDevice}=="0100"
    SYSFS{idProduct}=="0079"
    SYSFS{idVendor}=="043d"
    SYSFS{bMaxPower}=="  4mA"
    SYSFS{bmAttributes}=="c0"
    SYSFS{bConfigurationValue}=="1"
    SYSFS{bNumInterfaces}==" 1"



But why does lsusb show nothing?

Code:
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

Replacing ghostscript-gpl with ghostscript-esp made my printer working.
