Lexmark Optra E210 Does Not Print with CUPS
Support knowledgebase (mmichna_optraE210)
Applies to
SuSE Linux: Version 8.1
Symptom
The printer Lexmark Optra E210 does not print with CUPS.
Cause
The Ghostscript driver used by this GDI printer has been renamed by SuSE to
'samsunggdi' because this driver does not work for all printers, but only
for particular Samsung GDI printers and compatible models, such as
Lexmark Optra E210. See
http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_driver.cgi?driver=gdi
This modification has only been corrected in the CUPS PPD files for Samsung
GDI printers, but not in the PPD file for Lexmark Optra E210.
Solution
Correct the PPD file by executing the following commands as root user:
gunzip /usr/share/cups/model/Lexmark/E210-gdi.ppd.gz
perl -pi -e 's:(-sDEVICE=)gdi:$1samsunggdi:' /usr/share/cups/model/Lexmark/E210-gdi.ppd
By doing this, the entry '-sDEVICE=gdi' will be replaced with '-sDEVICE=samsunggdi'
in the PPD file.
Reinstall the PPD file (using, for example, YaST2) and modify your printer accordingly.
