[Bug 6627] Re: lexmark z53 blank pages
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 Evidently, there's some kinda known problem with out-of-date Gutenprint drivers in Dapper that the packages above update.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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

People who experience problems with gutenprint 5.0.0~rc2-0ubuntu6 in Dapper should try the Testing backport packages for gutenprint 5.0.0-2ubuntu2 (backported from Edgy) that can be found in bug #61843. If these backport packages works for you please confirm which problem/bug it solves so these packages can become an official Dapper backport. -- lexmark z53 blank pages https://launchpad.net/bugs/6627 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 6627] Re: lexmark z53 blank pages
yes it would be nice if it was there for dapper. I just had to reinstall dapper recently and it took me while to find this page to get my printer working. It would have been nice if the update had been there to just install instead of searching for the page again. Thanks again for getting something working that could be intalled on dapper without much trouble though. -- lexmark z53 blank pages https://launchpad.net/bugs/6627 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi... I've tried all suggested above and I'm still spewing blank sheets. I'm actually using a Xerox XK50cx Workcentre (via USB) which works better on Windows with the Lexmark Z53 driver! I've now downgraded using libgimpprint1_4.2.7-10_amd64.deb cupsys-driver-gimpprint_4.2.7-10_amd64.deb cupsys-driver-gimpprint-data_4.2.7-10_all.deb Printing is now fine (Lexmark Z53). I've spent a *lot* of time reading forums and searching for an answer to this so unless someone has another suggestion I'm going to lock cupsys-driver-gimpprint in Synaptic. 'apt-cache showsrc cupsys gutenprint | grep ^Version' was (and still is) showing Version: 1.2.0-0ubuntu5 Version: 1.2.1-0ubuntu2 Version: 5.0.0~rc2-0ubuntu6 Ubuntu 6.06 / 2.6.15-26-amd64-k8 Cheers ...

Make and Model: Lexmark Z52 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.0-rc2 Using only black ink cartridge. Updated from the test repo deb http://www.grad.hr/~ivoks/ubuntu/gutenprint ./ Definitely an improvement - there is now ink on the paper, but the print quality is terrible. At 600dpi, it's print appears in stripes - about a cm across, then a 1/2 cm is blank, repeated down the page. 1200dpi is very faint, and 2400dpi is non existent. The only thing that's printed half way reasonably was the ubuntu test page at 600dpi. -- lexmark z53 blank pages https://launchpad.net/bugs/6627 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
