I just found out that when I chose preferences > KDE > information > USB devices, my printer is shown. It says USB OHCI Root Hub (1) > Lexmark Z 42. But when I chose the Z 42 printer tool in the printer menu, it says /dev/printer and "Can't read printer status".
Silly question: I would like to download the patched kernel from Stew's site, but really COULDN'T find out how to type this sign that's before "sbenedict" in the URL on a German linux keyboard. Tried all the AltGr combinations, but it didn't work. Johanna Johanna Pink wrote: > - I did a re-install and tried to find out the source of my > non-working printer.
