Re: lexmark z53 printer
No problem. I generated the configuration file with the lexmarkz53 program,
renamed it z53Photo.conf, and then edited the filter file to use that configuration
file
only, and renamed it z53Photo.sh
First, the filter:
#!/bin/sh
DEBUG=0
PDIR=/usr/local/lexmark/z53
TMPFILE=`mktemp /tmp/lexmark.XX`
# lxgps is a little utility used to setup the
# Ghostscript parameters. It sets two parameters
# in particular: resolution and paper size. It
# determines what to set these to by reading the
# configuration file that is passed in.
GSPARMS=`$PDIR/lxacgsparm z53.conf`
echo $GSPARMS > parms
set > shellvalues
echo Have run this script >> shellvalues
runz53 ()
{
cat > $TMPFILE
file -b $TMPFILE | grep -i postscript > /dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
gs -q -dNOPAUSE $GSPARMS -sDEVICE=ppmraw -sOutputFile=- $TMPFILE |
$PDIR/z53 --config z53Photo.conf --dotcounts
else
file -b $TMPFILE | grep -i PDF > /dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
gs -q -dNOPAUSE $GSPARMS -sDEVICE=ppmraw -sOutputFile=-
$TMPFILE | $PDIR/z53 --config z53Photo.conf --dotcounts
else
enscript -B -o - $TMPFILE | gs -q -dNOPAUSE $GSPARMS
-sDEVICE=ppmraw -sOutputFile=- - | $PDIR/z53 --output blackonly --config z53Photo.conf
--dotcounts
fi
fi
/bin/rm -f $TMPFILE
}
runz53 2> /dev/null
The only change was in the --config parameter given to the lexmark provided
driver, z53.
Now, it is not obvious, but lexmarkz53, and the lxacgsparm program in
the filter above assume /var/spool/lexmark is the directory to store the
configuration files. (I find these things out by using locate and
strings binaryprogram | grep spool, and so on.)
So, you don't need to provide the full pathname for the configuration file
in the --config option, just the name of the file.
Here is my z53Photo.conf:
[settings]
queue=z53-outfiles
resolution=2400
blackonly=no
mediasize=letter
quality=business
paper=glossy
cartridge=black
[outfiles]
align=/usr/local/lexmark/z53/lxacalgn.out
clean=/usr/local/lexmark/z53/lxaucln.out

[black]
a=25
b=7
c=10
d=15
e=13
f=13
[photo]
a=15
b=8
c=15
d=15
[dotcounts]
cyan=205244387

=End of z53Photo.conf
This editing of programs to use different configuration files is very handy.
It can also be done with binary files, with vi -b.
The only trick there is to use the exact same number of characters for the
new file name as the old file name. This is very handy. For example, for
a while my daughter ran two version of netscape, one which did and one which
did not use a proxy server. She never had to change any settings herself,
just start the right version of netscape (ie., click on the correct icon.)
Don't forget you have to add a printcap entry, with the right print filter
name, too.

Re: lexmark z53 printer
One feature of this printer is that if a job arrives at it improperly formatted, the job just gets lost. I guess the printer just ignores it. So, are you sure you have the lexmark driver installed properly? At this point, I would go to the stepbystep (search filters hammer) and get my article about print filters. At the end I dissect the filter that comes with lexmark drivers. Note you need gs installed. I have version 6.01. You also need enscript. You also need the driver program z53 working. You can check to see if the filter got called by looking at the tmp file created when the driver is activated. (This tmp file is needed to print pdf files.) You can put debugging commands into the filter, eg: echo Got here > /home/youruser/message in appropriate places. Relax, you're gonna solve this thing, you'll really like this printer, and you will learn some useful stuff about print filters in the bargain.

Re: lexmark z53 printer
The z53Photo.sh is one I wrote myself. You won't have it. It is just z53.sh which uses a different configuration file, one that is configured for glossy photo printing. Can you run the lexmark configuration program, as root, lexmarkz53? It should be installed in /usr/local/lexmark/z53/ although there may be symbolic links in your path to it.

Re: lexmark z53 printer
I can't offer much advice about cups. BTW, I gave up using CUPS when I had permissions problem with it. Who needs those things? lprng works fine. Why bother with the latest and greatest if the tried and true works fine? I still use ipchains. I don't use gimp printer drivers either. lexmark supplies a nice configuration and testing tool with its drivers. Basically, I just use a basic lprng setup, with the lexmark supplied filter specified in printcap. This is my printcap. It isn't pretty but it works. ps|z53:\ sh:sd=/var/spool/lpd/z53:mx#0:\ :lp=/dev/lp0:\ :if=/usr/local/lexmark/z53/z53.sh :mc#1 :sh: Photo:\ sh:sd=/var/spool/lpd/z53Photo:mx#0:\ :lp=/dev/lp0:\ :if=/usr/local/lexmark/z53/z53Photo.sh :mc#1 :sh: lp|LP|z53-outfiles:\ :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\ :mx#0:\ :lp=/dev/lp0:\ :sh:rw: ps|z53 filters jobs. Photo filters jobs, but I edited the filter to use a configuration file which prints hi quality images to photo paper. If you dissect the print filter, it is easy to do. lp is to dump the print image right to the printer. This is required for printing test pages, since they do not need to be formatted or filtered. As I dimly recall, z53-outfiles is the magic name here for the configuration program to use. I THINK you have to have this queue available to print test pages. If you install the lexmark drivers on your windows clients, you would send those jobs here, too. As I said, you just send postscript jobs to ps, and all works well. Windows clients do fine if you choose the HP laserjet III+ driver. POC (Piece of cake).
