Guys I have lexmark 1020 the driver is provided in FC1 but it dontIn the FWIW category, I have a Lexmark 2050 for which FC1 has a driver (c2050) but it dunna seem to work at all. Same results as what you see with the printer either directly or remotely connected. In Windows it works fine directly connected to a machine but fails to work if shared so it seems (to me) that the Windows driver is not all that great either.
work, The printmanager spool the print job but the printer remains
dormant. Yes it is on and yes I have checked the printer settings, I have looked on http://www.linuxprinting.org/ and the driver is there I
compiled and installed the driver but the same results.
It is an lpt printer. I only have a black cartridge.
I tested the printer in windowze and its fine!??#
Any ideas?

linuxprinting lists Lexmark inkjets under the "useless" category of vendors http://www.linuxprinting.org/vendors.html
Now I have a cheap Brother laser printer that cost me less than the 2050 did. It is hung on the lan with a D-link printer port thing and works fine from Windows (95, 98, 2K, XP) and Linux (rh9, fc1, bsd).
Kind regards,

I purchased a Lexmark inkjet printer after finding Linux drivers on the Lexmark WWW page. I got rid of the printer a couple of months later due to many printing problems. Purchased an Epson and havn't had any problems yet. The Epson was cheaper than the Lexmark ink cartridges that were causing me all my problems.
Fedora installed and recognized the printer from scratch. The only problem I had was with "The Gimp" and that was a simple configuration.
