caused the Mandrake Linux at the bottom of the page to be purple. I
downloaded and installed the driver from the Lexmark site and the colors
are correct.
Unfortunately, I have not been successful in getting Gimp to print with
this driver. I looked at www.linuxprinting.org and noticed that there
are problems mentioned with the gimp drivers for the versions that ship
with 9.0. I ran Mandrake Update and saw that there were new cups and
drivers, so I downloaded and installed them, but they didn't fix the
problem.
Gimp-print 4.2.4RC1 (the updated version is 4.2.3) is on their site. It
is supposed to fix the red/green problem with a different Lexmark
printer, so I'm hoping it will the Z53, too. Currently, it is only
available in source and I haven't had a chance to compile it.
Well, that's what I've found out so far.

kde. I would not say the colour balance is brilliant but
it's the first time that I've seen the lexmark driver
work with Mandrake for some time. I think
the problem was that I could not run the alignment
programme during install , but will do so.
Not out the woods yet , but progress.
