Printing to a real Lexmark 1100 with CUPS. Yes, it worked. Well,
sort of:
1) Monochrome doesn't seem to work. I tried setting monochrome via
the CUPS web config, the fpi file, and both (restarting CUPS each
time), and after much moving of the printhead, I get a blank piece
of paper. (Yes, I had a black cartridge in the printer.)
2) and this isn't wrong, per se, but the print (from a plaintext
file) is about 50% larger than I was getting from it with LPD.
No dice under LPD, the job ends up in the bit bucket unless you make a
link from ps-to-lm1100.fpi to ps-to-printer.fpi. If you want this to
install cleanly with rhs-printfilters installed for use with lpd, you'll
need to tell ppl that :/ Works fine with the link in place in either
color or mono (with the appropriate change to the fpi).
