Problems with Lexmark Drivers under SuSE Linux 8.1

Support knowledgebase (mmichna_print-81-probleme)
Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 8.1

Symptom

You have installed the Lexmark driver exactly as described in the driver instructions. However, the printer cannot be addressed.

Cause

Lexmark drivers are tuned to work with lprold and LPRng.

Solution

Use LPRng as your print spooler. Launch YaST2's printer module to change the print spooler. Skip the autodetection and click "Change" and "Advanced". Then activate the LPRng radio button in the next menu and click "Apply". YaST2 removes the CUPS packages and installs the packages necessary for printing with the LPRng spooler. Finally, close YaST2 and reinstall the driver.
