Lexmark Z23 (usb) on Drake 8.2

[anacron]

I downloaded the driver from Lexmark.com, unzipped & installed it (so far, so good). Printer was installed on /dev/usb/lp0, but I could never get it to print. I keep getting "Can't open output device". :(

Anyone have any experience with this?

Do you have all the necessary usb support in the kernel or loaded as modules?

I'm not sure what usb modules are needed for printing, but lsmod should show if you have usb modules loaded.

Check at www.linux-usb.org (http://www.linux-usb.org) to see if there is anything on usb printing and what the requirements are. www.linuxprinting.org (http://www.linuxprinting.org) .net would also be a good site to check.

Also, do you have permissions to open the device. Maybe log in as root and try, that will help narrow down possibilities.
