Hi all.

I have a Lexmark 312L USB laser printer, which is actually a 312 (I am one
of the lucky ones).  The 312 reportedly works with Linux.  I have been to
http://www.linuxprinting.org and I have downloaded the PPD for my printer
(just a postscript PPD more or less). I added the cupsomatic perl script to
/usr/local/bin and modified the PPD to reference it explicitly.  However, I
seem to be having a problem.  When I load the PPD into CUPS (via the KDE
2.2.2 printer manager), I am getting an error when I print.  Actually, I get
a leader sheet that says "device xx" on it.  If I send raw print to the
printer (rather than using the PPD driver), I get evel=1 (presumably a
reference to postscript level 1).  Then the test sheet prints fine on the
second page.  The problem is that I don't want the garbage first sheet and
if I use the PPD, I still get it and most of the time, nothing will print,
instead causing the printer to show a data error.

OK, in short, has anybody managed to get this particular printer to work
properly using CUPS?

Thanks in advance,
