About a year ago I bought a Lexmark MS415dn laser printer, a well-known and reasonably popular model; I checked linux compatibility before buying and it was rated highly. Recently it now prints PDF files at best half the time. Otherwise it seems to dump two or three lines of random gibberish (possibly postscript code) to pages and pages and pages, with no way to stop it short of unplugging it. Sometimes it will print a file just fine, and then fail to print the very same file immediately afterwards. Sometimes it just won't print a file no matter what or when. Pulling the plug, clearing the paper jams, restarting the printer, restarting CUPS, telling CUPS it's ready to work again -- well, it's all a bit much, and even then it screws up the next job through about half the time. I'm using Arch Linux with the current (5.6.4) kernel and CUPS 2.3.1. Suggestions? Suggestions for a more reliable printer? -- Peter King peter.king@utoronto.ca Department of Philosophy 170 St. George Street #521 The University of Toronto (416)-946-3170 ofc Toronto, ON M5R 2M8 CANADA http://individual.utoronto.ca/pking/ ========================================================================= GPG keyID 0x7587EC42 (2B14 A355 46BC 2A16 D0BC 36F5 1FE6 D32A 7587 EC42) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 7587EC42
