My printer works fine under Fedora. It's a Lexmark E323 with
postscript (emulation?).
However, I had to pick generic postscript printer in cups. What is
the file I need to get from Lexmark (file extension name?) to include
the proper support for this printer in cups so it shows up in the
list when setting up the printer?
I realize that there is a binary Linux driver for this printer, but I
don't think it's needed since the printer works out of the box with
the generic postscript under cups. I would need some type of spec
file for this specific postscript printer?
We have already tried the lexmark 323 linux driver and the print
quality is no different than the cups generic postscript driver.
However, I have not tried printing envelopes, lables, using special
fonts, etc.

I think I found the answer. The file is a .ppd which gzipped in
/usr/share/cups/model/
I wanted to see if there was a PPD file for Linux for the Lexmark
e323.
All I see is a binary driver for older redhat systems.
I also see PPD's for Mac, IRIX, Solaris, SCO, etc., but no PPD for
Linux. Would the driver for this printer listed as a Redhat 7.3
driver contain the .ppd file? or would any of the other PPD files
work with Fedora and Cups?
The main reason for the post was to find the correct file identified
by the file extension .ppd. Then compare the generic postscript.ppd
which is gzipped postscript.ppd.gz to the PPD file for this specific
printer!
Here is the lexmark page with all the drivers for this printer. As I
understand it, I do not need the old driver listed as Redhat/SUSE
driver. nor do I need the MarkVision software for the printer to
work.
http://downloads.lexmark.com/cgi-perl/downloads.cgi?ccs=229:1:0:366:0:0&a...
The generic postscript ppd works fine. However, I wanted to see if it
was missing anything that a correct ppd file for this printer would
provide and then after everything is checked out, I could then add the
ppd and this printer would show up specifically in the listed
printers.
Hum, are all ppd files the same for different operating systems,
taking into account it's a text file and different os's terminate
lines differently? I also assume the PPD is a text file?

We have already tried the lexmark 323 linux driver and the print
quality is no different than the cups generic postscript driver.

This sounds like you are asking questions before you need an answer.
Please test the printer with all you need under cups, then if something
does not work as needed ask about that.

No, you need to talk to the foomatic people to get the printer
database to list that printer -- that's where the list in
redhat-config-printer comes from.

This email can't belong to you since it came from the future. What are
things like 2 months from now?
