I don't have a driver problem, the standard postscript driver works just
fine. My problem is that since I have two usb printers the driver
(ANY DRIVER) might have a problem if it is assigned to the wrong device.
udev will assign usb devices to /dev/usb/lp# in the order that the
devices are powered up in. If you set up the driver with the LJ as lp1
and then power it up first next time it won't work (because it's now lp0
and the driver is looking for lp1!) So, I need to figure out this udev
stuff.
