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. Dale :-) :-)
