Re: Cannot print in color anymore on my Lexmark MC3224

Before attempting IPPE, what driver did you install to operate the printer - and how?

Re: Cannot print in color anymore on my Lexmark MC3224

The driver is called "Lexmark MC3200 Series". To install it, I just click on "add a printer" in parameters>printers. The printer is automatically detected on the network and I just select the appropriate driver from the list.

Re: Cannot print in color anymore on my Lexmark MC3224

So probably from https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/an … c-db-ppds/ ?
That hasn't seen updates in over a year…
(I thought you maybe had installed some special driver provided by lexmark or an AUR package)

But

…
usr/share/foomatic/db/source/PPD/Lexmark/Lexmark_M3100_Series.ppd.gz
usr/share/foomatic/db/source/PPD/Lexmark/Lexmark_M3200_Series.ppd.gz
usr/share/foomatic/db/source/PPD/Lexmark/Lexmark_M5100_Series.ppd.gz
usr/share/foomatic/db/source/PPD/Lexmark/Lexmark_M5200_Series.ppd.gz
usr/share/foomatic/db/source/PPD/Lexmark/Lexmark_MB2300_Series.ppd.gz
usr/share/foomatic/db/source/PPD/Lexmark/Lexmark_MB2400_Series.ppd.gz
usr/share/foomatic/db/source/PPD/Lexmark/Lexmark_MB2500_Series.ppd.gz
usr/share/foomatic/db/source/PPD/Lexmark/Lexmark_MB2600_Series.ppd.gz
usr/share/foomatic/db/source/PPD/Lexmark/Lexmark_MB2700_Series.ppd.gz
usr/share/foomatic/db/source/PPD/Lexmark/Lexmark_MC2300_Series.ppd.gz
usr/share/foomatic/db/source/PPD/Lexmark/Lexmark_MC2400_Series.ppd.gz
usr/share/foomatic/db/source/PPD/Lexmark/Lexmark_MC2500_Series.ppd.gz
usr/share/foomatic/db/source/PPD/Lexmark/Lexmark_MC2600_Series.ppd.gz
usr/share/foomatic/db/source/PPD/Lexmark/Lexmark_MC3400_Series.ppd.gz
…

there's an "MC3400" and an "M3200" and I kinda suspect the critical "C" stands for "C"olor?

foomatic-db-gutenprint-ppds got updated in march bu I don't see your printer in there…
https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/ … c-db-ppds/
https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/ … rint-ppds/

If you can ballpark when this stopped working, check the pacman log on the old system.
