[cups.general] lexmark 1000 - no output on ubuntu

Fri May 11 08:21:21 PDT 2007

Can you delete

/usr/share/ppd/custom/Lexmark-1000-lm1100.ppd

then do "lpinfo -m | grep lm1100" again and you should get only

lm1100/Lexmark/Lexmark-1000-lm1100-en.ppd.gz Lexmark 1000 
Foomatic/lm1100 (recommended)
lm1100/Lexmark/Lexmark-1020-lm1100-en.ppd.gz Lexmark 1020 
Foomatic/lm1100 (recommended)
lm1100/Lexmark/Lexmark-1100-lm1100-en.ppd.gz Lexmark 1100 
Foomatic/lm1100 (recommended)

Then remove your printer and set it up again. If it still does not work, 
post here the ourput of

ls -l /opt/lm1100/bin

and the file /etc/cups/ppd/MyPrinter.ppd
