Lexmark Z32

  • Contadictory results from 2 users:
    • Follow exactly the documentation provided by Mandriva. In 9.0 it is doable. In 9.1 upto 10.2 it is easy. B/W printing is good: I did not have problems aligning the cartridges; I never got around to trying colour, but it should work, because I know the printer is capable of it.
    • Have had some issues with this printer in 9.2/10.0 . The cartridges never seem to align properly even with the Mandriva tool included in the System > Configuration > Printing > Lexmark menu. The binary only Lexmark driver is pretty lousy and cannot print using CUPS. Personally, I'd go and buy an EPSON instead.


Lexmark Z53

  • My Lexmark Z53 has always been a problem child when it comes to CUPS. Same with other Lexmarks I've owned, like the Z11 and the Z22, such that I probably won't ever buy another printer of this brand. Problems I've encountered include:
    • No head alignment tools provided.
    • Default color settings are very poor when compared to a print job from a Windows machine.
    • Not all of the drivers provided actually work with the printer.
    • Default "printable area" settings aren't true to the actual printable area for this device. If you print from some applications, you find that you loose half a line of text at the very top.
