A raw queue has no filter, it just sends the job straight to the printer. Since you are using cups and have this frontend for printing which recreates your /etc/printcap file on the fly, I am not sure how you would go about creating a raw queue. You might try fooling around with printer/settings an

There is a menu on the lexmarkz53 windows software which disables two way communication. If you use the lexmarkz53 windows client software, you need to send your jobs to a raw queue on the server. Joel 1. What does sending jobs to a raw queue entail? 2. Assumeing I want to go the other route

OK, some progress. I managed to get access to the printer but now I have the bi-directional communications problem. Using Lexmark Z52 drivers did not help. From the communications I've been googleing, several have had this problem and my guess is that at least one person has solved it. Note t

Is is established yet if your setup is using the lexmark supplied software or cups drivers? It may not really matter. If the printer is working fine locally, then it seems to be a problem with samba. What you have to do is figure out which queue is accepting jobs on your server, locally, then set u

This looks like you use cups, not lprng, so, I have no idea how much of what I said will apply. Maybe you haven't the software from lexmark. Here is a part of what I see with: locate z53 /mnt/hda4/usr/local/lexmark/z53 /mnt/hda4/usr/local/lexmark/z53/A4.xpm /mnt/hda4/usr/local/lexmark/z53/A5.xpm

OK. Here is what works for me. As usual, your mileage may vary. I assume you have installed the software for the lexmarkz53 on your linux server. I assume you can print a test page. If you can't, likely you are not printing the testpage to a raw queue. The testpage goes to a raw queue while the r

Hey. By no means an expert, so just guessing. I sympathize with your hatred, however :) . I do not have any experience with letting the Linux box worry about the driver, so I don't know if I'll be of any help. I've always used drivers on the Win side. If this is what you want to do, you may need

Primarily because I've never gotten it to work despite frequent efforts. Offeding printer is a Lexmark Z53 (supposedly fully supported) and when ever I try to add it to an XP box I get "Server doesn't have the right driver, do you wish to upload the driver?" then when I do it says "Cannot con
