In the early days of Lexmarks, we used a different type, which allowed
us to use a different filter script. However the more modern ones are
similar enough to an HP printer that we can just use an HP type (JD).
So we stopped keeping the lexmark filter script up to date.
All the Optra series will work just fine with type JD. So as for why
it is disappearing after that I am not sure. You can try talking
direct to the printer and see if that works thus:-
cat <job> | /usr/local/ciscolp/bin/jdxfer <Ip address>
If that works then the filter script is fowling up, if it doesn't
jdxfer's your problem. Let us know and we'll help you diagnose
further.
