Gimp Print 4.3.4 & Lexmark 3200
How to install the Driver - for Gimp and CUPS:
First, go to [yourgimpprint4.3.4-ditribution]/src/main. Here, you will find two important files: print-lexmark.c
and printers.xml. You shall duplicate them and add probably a suffix like .save to them.
Then you download the fileprint-lexmark.c and copy it to the directory
src/main - of your gimp-print 4.3.4 distribution. After that, open the file printers.xml and delete all Lexmark
related stuff. It is to be found at the end of the file. Now add the following lines to the file:
Go back to the root directory of your gimp print 4.3.4-distribution and type:
- ./configure --with-gimp --with-cups --enable-lexmarkutils
- make
- make install
Having made these steps, you should be able to get a unidirectional-mode, 600X600 DPI greyscale Printout from
your Lexmark 3200 on A4. I do not guarantee that it runs immediately. It did in my development environment after I have
done some tweaking. If you peek in to the code, you wont find any copyrights nor the stuff related to other lexmark
printers as I have removed these lines to make debugging somewhat easier. The copyrights for the Gimpprint-Lexmark Driver
and the mising code are to be found in the original Driver code.
Mark:
At the Moment, I do comments in German language. The Driver prints only in unidirectional mode and in Grayscale.
I seem to have broken something, as my printer does not print the colour-part of a coloured Printout but only the black part.
In Three Colours-composite-Mode, I have got nothing but a moving Print-head upon doing a test print.
It is up to You to use this modified Version of the driver at your own risk. It is in Development state, but You can use it for NOT-SO-IMPORTANT
Printouts.
