Lexmark Z25 + cups = no go. "Unsupported format"

Hi.

I installed my Lexmark Z25 using this tutorial, found on Ubuntu forums:

http://pastebin.ca/189781

Then I used Arch Wiki to configure CUPS via web interface and after issuing command of printing a test page I get this error:

unsupported format "application/postscript"!

results of issuing commands:
lpstat -t   and    lp -d Lex uae.txt

[enjo@myhost docu]$ lpstat -t
scheduler is running
system default destination: Lex
device for Lex: usb://Lexmark/Z25-Z35
Lex accepting requests since Tue Oct  3 07:19:54 2006
printer Lex is idle.  enabled since Tue Oct  3 07:19:54 2006
[enjo@myhost docu]$ lp -d Lex uae.txt
lp: Unsupported format 'text/plain'!

After trying to print test page in KDE Control Center I get this KNotify message:

http://www.elwico.pl/~ender-sz/img/cups.jpg


I tried to print testpage using manufacturer's software and it worked. Also it does print .gifs and .jpegs, but not any documents.

The /etc/cups/mime.* entries are uncommented
Here's the /var/log/cups/error_log:

Re: Lexmark Z25 + cups = no go. "Unsupported format"

Why thank you very much! I'm waiting

I agree that they're maybe not the cheapest ones but if you recharge them then it's about ... at least 5 times cheaper. If your cartridge eventually gets dirty, you buy a new cartridge instead of a new printer like you'd have to do on Epson R300 for example smile (my previous printer)

I remember. I instaled printer with instructions from:

http://www.linuxprinting.org/lexmark-faq.html#s_6

I think that was important that I have /usr/local/lexmark/z25-z35/scripts/LexmarkZ35

Than, I forgot which version of cups, I had a problem but later it start working again.

Re: Lexmark Z25 + cups = no go. "Unsupported format"

Ok thanks.
I got it 'a bit' working. The problem is it prints only images and pure text now. Is it all it can do?

I've done all the steps from the FAQ plus:

1) chmoded and chowned /var/spool/lexmark and /usr/local/lexmark to root:root and 755

2)  Searched for 'usleep source' and downloaded it from here:
http://www.rz.uni-karlsruhe.de/~andy/so … sleep-1.0/
I had to comment 54th line:
//typedef unsigned long useconds_t;
compiled and copied to /bin

3) copied link pidof from /sbin to /bin

4) Searched for 'libstdc++-libc6.1-2.so.3' and found it here:
http://www.pxh.de/fs/gsmlib/download/content.html
(note that it's not the gsmlib. There's a link to libstdc++ on this page)

5) pacman -Sy enscript

and voilla. No I can print text files with the
cat filetoprint.foo | /usr/local/lexmark/z25-z35/scripts/LexmarkZ35 -
command

What can I do from here ?
