INTRODUCTION
============

    This is Z35 CUPS Printer Driver version 2.0-1, the second stable
    release.  Z35 CUPS Printer Driver is a printer driver that may be
    used with most common UNIX print spooling systems, including CUPS,
    lpr, LPRng, or others.  This driver provides high quality printing
    for Linux and UNIX systems and can be used for many of the most 
    demanding printing tasks.

    Z35 CUPS Printer Driver was built using the Lexmark Linux Printer
    Driver Developer's Kit (LLPDDK) binaries. Please check out our website

FAQ
===

    1) Q: How can we print bitmap files?
       A: To print bitmap files (bmp), it is necessary to include the 
          following line in the file /etc/cups/mime.convs:
 	    "image/x-bitmap application/vnd.cups-raster 100 imagetoraster"
	    Restart the CUPS daemon for changes to take effect.

    2) Q: What does the "Inkset" option mean?
       A: The "Inkset" option is used to emulate the existence of the
	    cartridges installed in the printer device. If it is set to CMYK
	    or CMY or K, then the printer driver will assume that the printer
	    device has "both cartridges installed", or "only color cartridge
	    is installed" or "only black cartridge is installed" respectively.

    3) Q: How do we recover or cancel the print job during paper out?
       A: To recover the print job, restart the printer device (turn off
	    then turn on again) and the CUPS server (either by "service cups
	    restart" or "/etc/init.d/cups restart"). To cancel the print job
 	    remove it manually either by using lprm or cancel commands.

    4) Q: Why does changing the configuration (from the web server) during
	    a print job cause the printer device to jam? How do we recover
	    from this situation?
       A: When changing the printer driver configuration using the CUPS web
	    server, CUPS will interrupt all print jobs. Unfortunately,
	    the Z35 CUPS printer driver inconsistently handles this scenario.
	    To recover from this situation, simply remove the paper jam by
	    restarting the printer device. CUPS will then automatically resend
	    the print job with the new configuration.

    5) Q: How do we print using "The GIMP" application?
       A: Configure the Printer Settings before printing. Open the Setup window 
	    upon choosing to print an image. Set PPD file to /etc/cups/ppd/Z35.ppd.
	    Set Command to lpr. Save the settings and print.

    6) Q: How do we set up Z35 printer in Star Office application?
       A: Start the printer setup program of Star Office. Click on "Install new driver ..."
	    and in the dialog, use the "Browse" button to navigate to the directory where
	    PPD file is stored (i.e., /etc/cups/ppd). Choose the file in the file list
	    and click "OK". Now your printer has an entry in the list "Existing printer
	    drivers". Choose it and click "Add new printer". Choose the new entry in 
	    "Installed printers" and click on "Connect". In the dialog, choose the queue
	    with the command pointing to your printer or enter a new non-existing queue name
	    (i.e., lpr -P Z35). Click on "Configure" to adjust the default settings for your
	    printer and on "Test page" to check printing. Now close the printer setup program
	    and start Star Office. When you select "File"/"Print" you can choose your printer
	    and check with the "Properties" button all the options provided by the printer
	    driver.

    7) Q: How do we perform an alignment of cartridges?
	     A: There's a command line utility tool for aligning cartridges and other
	   	utility functions. At the command line, type /usr/lib/cups/backend/z35 utilities. 
		  A menu will be shown enumerating the different utility options.

    8) Q: How do we perform cleaning of print nozzles?
	     A: There's a command line utility tool for cleaning the print nozzles and other
	   	utility functions. At the command line, type /usr/lib/cups/backend/z35 utilities. 
		  A menu will be shown enumerating the different utility options.
