Linux - Gentoo - Installing a network printer Lexmark

This time, by contributing to the installation of the HP printer, there is clearer.

Well then, what we need: the IP address of the printer. For this two possibilities:

• ask the printer (see the menus for more help: read the printer documentation)
• otherwise, for the lucky people who have a machine running IPCop pfSense, it can be seen directly from IPCop.

must also PPD. This file is in the CD (check the file / media / LEXMARK / linux / ppd / ppd-files-lmacatar.z) on the desktop. The file contains several directories, including "GlobalPPD.

Details for file GlobalPPD

is the file that contains information on the output device, including the fonts installed on the printer, the size and orientation of media available, blah blah blah ...
can choose a different one as needed.

Otherwise, on the official website , drivers download section, there is the file.
Once we know the IP address, nothing more simple.

Let us go now into the heart of the matter ...

Go to the menu "System", "Administration" and click on "Print"

A window "Printer Setup" screen appears.

Make combination "Ctrl + N", click New, or "Server", "New" and click "Printers"

Expand the "Network Printer" (-; we are here for, right? ;-). Then click "LPD / LPR Host or Printer".
And in space to "Host", type the IP address of the printer.

Click Next ...

must provide the PPD, selecting the place where he is ...

And then select the right ... For example, here is the Lexmark_C540.ppd

Click Next

Again Next

And apply. A test page will be printed:
