Howdy:
I've been trying to setup the Lexmark Z52 as a shared printer (via
samba) but I'm not getting very far :(
I have the Linux driver from Lexmark installed and working,
however, the raw print queue I setup for samba isn't working (at
least not from the client side). The Lexmark driver reports
"communication failure..." and if I turn off driver<->printer
communication, then it just fails silently (but looks like it's
working).
I also tried a postscript driver on the windoze side, and the test
page prints color, but not Netscape. I tried an HP PS driver
first, but that didn't work (it printed the source code) but I had
a modicum of success with the Apple PS driver.
Here is my printcap entry:
lp0|lxraw:\
:rw:\
:sh:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp0:\
:lp=/dev/lp0:
:fx=flp:\
and this is my printer share:
[lp0]
comment = Lexmark z52 raw
path = /var/spool/lpd/lp0
print command = lpr -b -P%p %s
printer name = lxraw
browseable = no
# Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print
guest ok = yes
writable = no
printable = yes
I changed the permissions on the spool dir above to work with
samba, but the lp0 share doesn't show up right in NetHood, but I
can see one for lxraw. I think I hosed something up...
Anybody got some tips for the raw printer setup and/or a good
windoze PS driver for decent color, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance, Steve
