Re:Re: LPR/LPRng printing blank page

[alan snyder att net]

I figured out the problem myself last night during some late hours of 
frustration?

I started tinkering with the printer itself and I realized that my printer, the 
Lexmark Z22, has two slots for ink cartridges ? one for color, one for black. 
The color cartridge was filled with ink, but the slot for a black ink cartridge 
was empty - there was no cartridge. This worked fine on Windows, because the 
drivers would print a composite black using all colors to get black to come out 
on the page. In linux, the drivers weren?t told to do so (I have to figure out 
if this is even possible, and if so, how to do it). I tested this by putting 
the color cartridge in the black cartridge slot and voila! ? my page printed in 
all blue!! 

I now have to find a black cartridge for my printer, or figure out how to get 
the linux drivers to print using composite black. I?m going to do both actually 
in my ongoing effort to learn as much as I can about Linux. 

Thanks again for your help!
