Some may recall me buying a Lexmark C2325DW laser printer a few years
ago. I use the IPP to setup my printer, over wireless I might add, and
it works fine. I've printed text, images and combinations of both just
fine. It always looks great. I do this within CUPS. This is what it
shows when when I pull up the printer info.
Description: Lexmark-2325
Driver: Lexmark C2300 Series (color, 2-sided printing)
Connection: ipp://10.0.0.3/
Defaults: job-sheets=none, none media=na_letter_8.5x11in
sides=two-sided-long-edge
I set this up ages ago. I went online and found the .ppd file. During
the setup, I just pointed it to the file. So far, this has worked
well. On occasion, when CUPS updates, I have to set it up again.
Usually, I delete the thing and just start over if it fails to print.
After that, it works for a good long while, even tho I don't print as
much as I used to. Those toner cartridges that claim 3,000 pages are
just wishing. Most stuff I print are regular text. Sometimes a black
and white circuit diagram. Still, if I get 1,000 pages or more, I'm
doing good. I don't think I've ever got 2,000 pages from one. All that
said, the printer is a OK printer.
I might add, using IPP was the only way I could get it to work. None of
the other options worked. Could be me tho. Y'all know how I am. :/ ROFL
Hope that helps.
