Thankyou for the suggestion but the Lexmark Z52 will not work with the Z42
driver. I tried it and it printed a very garbled page. I even tried all the
other drivers with no luck. It seems that the Lexmark drivers for the Z52 or
Z53 are not the proper drivers for that model of Lexmark. I can only hope the
drivers are fixed as I do not want to have to buy another printer. I tried it
in Windows and it is working so it has to be the Linux drivers.
Mike
