[cobalt-users] Adding Lexmark Z23

[Tim Dunn <tdunn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Folks,

Just wanted to post a 'status report' (read: plea for help when someone
is so flummoxed s/he has no idea what to *ask*) of my flailings to install
a Lexmark Z23 to the Qube3's USB port.

1) Downloaded the LexmarkZ23 driver.  Read README.  Says it needs
   enscript and ghostscript.  

2) Found RPMs for enscript and ghostscript.  enscript rpm -ivh'd nicely, 
   but ghostscript requires fonts (no surprise).

3) Found RPMs for ghostscript-fonts and urw-fonts.  urwfonts rpm -ivh'd
   nicely, but ghostscript-fonts required checkfontpath.  I got fed
   up and rpm --force -ivh'd ghostscript-fonts.

4) During 'sh lexmarkz33-x.y-z.sh', it complained it needed gtk.
   (Note, the Z23 evidently is very close to the Z33 - the gztarball
   name was suffixed Z23-33)

5) Found a gtk 1.2.10, but that required glibc2.2 and XFree86

6) Grabbed Cobalt-XFree86 from pkgmaster.com, but that required 
   Qube3-All-System-4.0.1-13761.pkg

7) Grabbed Qube3-All-System-4.0.1-13761.pkg, but my Qube said it was
   obsoleted and refuesd to add it.

8) tar -xzvf'd Qube3-XFree86-1-16.pkg and rpm -ivh'd RPMS/Qube3-XFree86-1-16

9) rpm -ivh'd gtk-1.26-1

a) still can't print.

HELP!!!
