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.XXX

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 ab

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

I have been using a lexmarkz53 for perhaps a year. It works great. The lexmark provided drivers work fine. I get excellent color photos with them. I use this printer attached to my linux box to provide print services to win98 and xp clients, as well as to the linux boxes. I don't use any lexmark
