From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98) Description of problem: Cannot get Lexmark printer Optra E312 working with Red Hat Linux 7.1, using parallel port and Acer Travelmate 600TER computer. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot 2.Printer device not found 3.Verify with dmesg that following line appears : lp: driver loaded but no devices found Actual Results: Nothing. Cannot print to the printer in any fashion, Postscript, text only printer driver, absolutely nothing works at all. The system cannot see the printer device. Period. Expected Results: The printer device should of course be recognized. Please note that this computer is setup as dual boot and the exact same system works perfectly well with Windows 98 and LPT1. Additional info: Lexmark has refused to help me with this problem, because they have not written a driver for redhat 7.1 yet. Their download package for v7.0 does not work, nor do the drivers shipped with the printer. They will not say when they have a driver release planned to resolve this issue.
Please attach the complete output of 'dmesg' using the 'Create a new attachment' link. Thanks.
