Got the Lexmark Z53 to work in Dapper (6.06 LTS). Here's how I did it. Following advice posted by the good folks on launchpad, I
Logged on to ftp://ftp.akl.lt/Linux/Baltix/Baltix- Ubuntu_packages/gutenprint/ then downloaded and installed these packages (in this order) libgutenprint2_5.0.0-2ubuntu1_i386.deb cupsys-driver-gutenprint_5.0.0-2ubuntu1_i386.deb (I got some kinda message saying that older software was available in a software channel, but just clicked "OK" on that and it went away) After this, I installed the Z53 by clicking System, Administration, then Printing, then doubleclicking on New Printer and choosing Lexmark, then Z53. Lo and behold, it printed a test page (rather than shooting out a blank) Just to doublecheck, I printed these notes from Text Editor (on the back of the test page, to save paper and natural resources). Worked great! Evidently, there's some kinda known problem with out-of-date Gutenprint drivers in Dapper that the packages above update. Hey, it worked for me, and if it works, it's good! -- lexmark z53 blank pages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/6627 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
