My USB Lexmark Z53's works in linux and are not difficult to set up, though I have to say none of the gui printer parameter setting bits work well(the gui's that set things like the depth of colours etc) especially in kde. Many of the slider bars just don't seem to be connected in any way that actually effects the printed output though the numbers change. In addition printouts in "normal" resolution always have thin white lines in colour mode, this is not especially a lexmark printer problem as I have tested other makes and models with the same results.Hi all,
I gotta buy a new printer, as my old HP 510 has finally died.
I've got my eye on a Lexmark USB version (cos it's cheap!) and my neighbour has one, and it works ok for him, but on Windows.
Has anyone had any Mandrake and USB printer experience? Will it work on 10CE without a huge amount of upheaval?
So, my lexmark model installs easy and works, but only at the level that linux deems acceptable, I have to say that I have never had a single printer of any make or model that I have seen set up in linux to work as well as in windows. Sorry , but that is the flat truth. I live to see the day when that may change, but simpathize with the delelopers who have a difficult time testing the end results to debug the problems.
The only real solution is to buy postscript printers if you can afford them and if you can find suppliers that want to sell them.Here in the UK no PC house has any in stock. In fact if you were to ask for one they would look at you with a blank stare, but they must be available since many universities and such like institutions seem to have them, but I guess they employ them on internal networks where the shear level of traffic justifies the cost. They ain't really for the likes of common folk.
