to remove some directories manually. To see if any directories remain after removing all the packages, check the directory where you installed the printer drivers. By default, the printer drivers are installed in either of the following locations: • Solaris /opt/lexmark/unix_prt_drivers /var/spool - Lexmark OptraImage 322 | Print Drivers for UNIX and LINUX Systems - Page 15

that contains the model number of your printer. Example: You want to create a queue for a Lexmark T632. You locate the line matching this printer from supported_printers and it looks like this: Lexmark T632 10LT63x automatic The printer type is 10LT63x, and the supported language is automatic. 19 - Lexmark OptraImage 322 | Print Drivers for UNIX and LINUX Systems - Page 20
language notes • All printer types support "raw" as the language type. This makes the print queue a pass-through queue. This means the print job is sent to the printer without any queue modification. • The Automatic language type lets you set the language type to be automatic, pcl, or ps.

However, if a duplex unit is not connected to the printer, your print job prints on one side of the - Lexmark OptraImage 322 | Print Drivers for UNIX and LINUX Systems - Page 22
