[TriLUG] SUSE 10.1 Distro

[MG]

Hi, Kathleen,


I looked up the various pages that led me to getting my Lexmark Z615 
printer to work. 


Just to confirm that yours does indeed look like it won't work, the page 
for my Linux driver, 
http://downloads.lexmark.com/cgi-perl/downloads.cgi?ccs=229:1:0:525:0:0
lists Linux as one of the operating systems, but the Z730 page lists 
only Windows. 


On the bright side, the vanilla Z700 page has a May 31st, 2007 date for 
download (we all know how deadlines go), so a Linux driver for the 730 
may be included in that when it's put up there.   Also, my Z615 is 
listed as a paperweight in Linuxprinters.org and it's definitely not.- 
if you can find a used one of these cheap, and all you need is black and 
white, they're easy to install in CUPS.   I can  give a  step by step if 
needed if you're using CUPS.


Good luck with Linux printer hunting - a quirky sport, but indulged in 
by more one person in the triangle area.
