Lexmark Pro805 Prestige (the challenge that is linux wifi printing)

I know it's a boring topic, but I'd really appreciate help getting printing to work. I guess it's also a tad bit ironic that the guy whose forum handle is "print" needs printer assistance, but I digress.
Who wants to help me make history by being the first to get this all-in-one wireless printer working? If I do get it to work I promise to do a write up to help others.
Here's what i've tried so far.
* I downloaded the .deb including drivers and PPD from lexmark
* unpacked them in virtualbox running Ubuntu 9.10
* I copied all the files over to my arch server
* installed the printer in Cups.
The print protocol is jetdirect (socket://192.168.1.112:9100), and I can also browse to the built-in HTTP server. Cups reports the printer as "Idle," and I can send jobs to the cups print queue. However, it looks like jobs aren't getting sent to the printer. Of course, integration with my wife's XP box is seamless.
I'm looking for troubleshooting ideas. Everything about system-config-printer and cups is so GUIfied that I can't see what's happening at a low level, so to try and diagnose the problem is difficult.
Some clues:
The lexmark command line utilities work. For example,
# /usr/lexinkjet/lxk09/bin/prnutility -d lex -n 192.168.1.112 -s
Status: Ready
This is what it returns when the printer is in sleep mode:
# /usr/lexinkjet/lxk09/bin/prnutility -d lex -n 192.168.1.112 -s
Printer Error. The printer cannot communicate with the computer.
This prints a test page:
# /usr/lexinkjet/lxk09/bin/prnutility -d lex -n 192.168.1.112 -t
When I try to run the bundled configuration tool (lexijtools) I get the following:

EDIT 20100312 1800h CST
OK, so the java error is normal, or at least harmless/inconsequential. The lexijtools cats that same message to stderr and then on to /dev/null on ubuntu, which is why I didn't recognize it as normal before. To verify I commented that out and it prints the same message on ubuntu so that's a red herring. I think the reason the gui was showing up as a whiteout panel was because I was using awesome window manager instead of gnome and java couldn't find gtk or whatever windowing system it uses. Then I couldn't start gnome at all because one of the dbus .conf files I copied over from the lexmark blob on ubuntu had too restrictive permissions. You know it's a bad linux day when installing a printer breaks gnome.
I found a blog post with some ubuntu-centric info about newer model lexmark printers for any interested parties: http://thatissopunkrock.org/blog/2010/e … etup-tips/

Yes, I got wired printing working. Here's roughly what I did:
wget http://downloads.lexmark.com/downloads/cpd/lexmark-inkjet-legacy-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh.tar.gz
tar zxvf lexmark-inkjet-legacy-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh.tar.gz
./lexmark-inkjet-legacy-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh --noexec --target lexmark-printer-drivers
cd lexmark-printer-drivers
tar xvf instarchive_all --lzma
tar zxvf lexmark-inkjet-legacy-1.0-1.i386.deb
yaourt -S dpkg --noconfirm
dpkg -x lexmark-inkjet-legacy-1.0-1.i386.deb lexmark-inkjet-legacy
cd lexmark-inkjet-legacy
cp etc/*.ppd /usr/share/cups/model/
/etc/rc.d/cups restart
cp -Rv usr/local/lexmark/ /usr/local
chmod 555 /usr/local/lexmark/bin/*
cd /usr/lexmark/legacy/lib
ln -s liblxknf09hpec.so liblxknf09hpec
Tada!

How do you reactivate the grey utilities scroll up tab at the bottom of the screen that should reveal wifi, bluetooth etc? Doesn't matter what orientation the ipad is in, it won't scroll up from the bottom. All other screen functions work normally.

Settings/Control Center. There are two options which are pretty self-explanitory...one enables/disables access on the Lock Screen and one enables/disables access within apps/games.

Thanks, I thought so but wanted to be sure before running out and buying one... I also called Apple Joint Venture and they helped me set it up without the Airport by using my iMac as the wifi! Thanks again!

How do I change the computer that my iPhone wifi syncs to?

I recently got a new computer and want to have my iPhone sync to it over wifi. I went on my old computer and unchecked the box that said 'sync with this iPhone over wifi" and then tried to apply it and sync my phone, but the old computer will not sync my phone. I then went to the new computer and checked the "sync with this iPhone over wifi" but it did nothing on the phone, and will not allow my to sync it.

See this migrate iTunes library post to make sure you've transferred the library properly to the new computer. Connect the iPhone to it with a cable, perform a wired sync, then set up the option to sync wirelessly again.

How can I Print the calendar from iPad with WiFi-Printer?

It's possible to print the calendar from iPad (1) to a WiFi-printer?

I also wish I could print my calendar from my ipad, it's crucial for my business yet they forgot to put a print option????? How hard would it be?? A screen shot doesn't help, on my wifi printer it reduces the image by one third? They say computers make like easier, but do they? We spend so much time just trying to get stuff to work, we can never really do what we need to, without having to talk to seven hundred people to find a hard to work solution.

I attached the form that I wanted to print, but it also printed my signature pg, how can I prevent?

Used eprint for the 1st time, but don't want my signature page to be printed. I sent the page to be printed from Outlook.
Thank you for the help!

Hi,
Any contene within your email message will be printed, that is the way the ePrint service works, as you may find listed within the limitations part of the FAQ section:
You cannot print email attachments without also printing the email.

As a workaround, simply erase the signature along any other content from the mail content before sending the job.

How do I install the plugins that will let me print from CS5?

Right now I'm going to PSE 7 to print files edited in CS 5. It's a pain in the neck. I'm unfamiliar with installation of "plug ins" and Bridge does not have the flexibilty I want in printing.

It is the Appstore App. You don't need to download it, it is already there. It is the "A" in a circle.

I downloaded the trial versus of Adobe Illustrator to print clip art to my Graphtec CE 5000 vinyl plotter, the image goes to my paper printer instead, my question is how I set the illustrator to print to my vinyl cutter?

How do I connect the trial version of Adobe Illustrator to my Graphtec CE 5000 vinyl plotter? When I go to print the image goes to my paper printer, any help will be appreciative

Yes, I have been using the software that came with this printer and has been working great for 2 years however I couldn't print clip art, I asked the place that sold the plotter to me and they said with the software that came with the printer I could not print clip art and I had to formal an illustrator and recommended Adobe

Hi shldr2thewheel,
it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
Sincerely in need of help once again,
Kim

Using Notes and Oracle Client in the same application on Linux crashes

This thread is copied from a thread of the same name under Database - General, since I cannot get any replies there.
Could someone from Oracle PLEASE comment on this.
Our application on Linux loads the Notes client libraries and then the Oracle client libraries. The application will crashes when connectimg to an Oracle server. This is because the T_* symbols in libnnz11.so get fixed up into libnotes.so rather than locally into libnnz11.so where the functions are defined.

We have circumvented the problem for the time being by making sure that we load the Oracle libraries before Notes, but we cannot go with that as a long term solution.
In my opinion the Oracle library is wrongly linked since all the T_* functions are defined in libnnz11.so. When we load Oracle first, the loader debug trace shows the correct fixups. When we load Notes first, the loader trace shows the incorrect fixups. We are using dlopen(libor9i.so, RTLD_LOCAL) for Oracle and dlopen(libnotes.so, RTLD_LOCAL) for Notes. libor9i.so has a dependency on libclntsh.so.10.1.
An opinion would really be appreciated.
Thanks,
John Unsworth

Thanks again.
We don't have an Oracle support contract because we do not use Oracle ourselves. We supply an application that synchronises data between multiple data servers and server types, of which Oracle is one and Notes is another, as well as LDAP servers and many other types.
Producing a full resolved binary is therefore not an option since the types of data server are configured when the apploication is installed, and then the client software for each server is loaded as required.
The end user of the application supplies the client libraries and has a support contract for the servers, in particular Oracle and Notes in this case. So the other option is for the end user to raise a ticket using his support contract, but he is reluctant to do that since he considers that this is our problem as we supply the application that is having the problem. So we are in a dead water area. We do not want to take out a support contract just to get what is an Oracle product problem resolved. I imagine that this problem is something that has not been encountered before, because our use of the client library in conjunction with other client libraries is probably unusual.
So that is why I am hoping, without any success so far, that someone from Oracle will pick this up.

Should I be able to use a Lexmark Pro 205 wireless printer from my iPad 1? My iPad can't find the printer. Iveinstalled the Lexprint app on iPad and downloaded the Lexmark Listener on desktop computer. Still can't print from iPad.

Should I be able to use a Lexmark Pro 205 wireless 3 in 1 printer with iPad 1? I have installed the LexPrint app on iPad, downloaded the Lexmark Listener on desktop computer but still can't print from iPad. My iPad cannot find the printer. But I can print from desktop without USB cable. I upgraded the system on my iPad sometime ago. Suggestions??

Here is the list of AirPrint printers, and you particular printer is not on it. So that means you will need to use the Lexmark app, and print through your computer.
There is a Lexmark guy that hangs around these forums who may chime in with a response as well.
