I have managed to install Lexmark T642 from desktop and test print. However, when I tried to print from konsole, this message appears
lpr: The printer or class was not found
Any solution?

Can you tell us how you installed and if you used Lexmark drivers? It seems to be an older model of monochrome laser;
this official website of LEXMARK provides support and downloads Lexmark - United States
It lists TWO drivers you should download:
2)Filename: Print-Drivers-LMAAT_DRV.plugin
File Size: 413.95 KB ( 1 min @ 56 kbps )
T64x Print Drivers device support plug-in
The OpenPrinting site also provides a good reference point for printing on linux: for the T642 they say “mostly works”
OpenPrinting database - Printer: Lexmark T642
they talk of a ppd file, but if you download the lexmark ppd file, that surely be ample
I would think it useful for you to install the two above drivers from Lexmark, and see if that helps you;
a previous post on a Lexmark printer, Lexmark Z615 (colorjet series) - openSUSE Forums
provides some information on that Z615 printer: the driver kit that the various manufacturers provide often seems to include an lpr file, and a cups file; the lpr should be installed first, and then the cups if that is what they supply;
if you need help on a tar file, that too can be supplied within the forum
Check YaST/Hardware/Printer and see if your printer is set as default.
From man lpr:
lpr submits files for printing. Files named on the command line are
sent to the named printer (or the system default destination if no des‐
tination is specified).
If it’s not set as the default printer either set it as default, or use the -P option.
from man lpr:
-P destination[/instance]
Prints files to the named printer.
Example:
lindy@lindys_contraption:~> lpr -P deskjet-3650 test.txt
Linux is a grammer nazi… Syntax is important.
example:
lindy@lindys_contraption:~> lpr -P deskjet_3650 test.txt
lpr: The printer or class was not found.
Thanks, it works. However, I am not using the lexmark driver. Instead I am using HP 4000 series driver since I don’t know how to install the driver on openSuse 11. I already tried using the rpm from Lexmark, but the printer still does not show on the list of printers. Any guidance will be appreciated, since I have been trying to find out on HOW to install Fusebox on it. I d/l it all right, and then what?! Is there a guide on how to install application in linux?
I don’t know how to install the driver on openSuse 11. I already tried using the rpm from Lexmark,
Okay… How did you try to install the driver? The command for rpm should look something like this (as root) ==>rpm -ivh foo_rpm-1.i386.rpm. Was there any special instructions from Lexmark, like post install configuration?
