Lexmark Z55 install

Hi all, Apologies for the long post. I'm trying to install the driver for the Lexmark Z55 printer, downloaded from the Lexmark website. Unfortunately it is not Debian-ready; has compatibility with Mandrake Version 2.5, Red Hat Version 7.0 and SuSe Version 7.0 according to the site. I plugged o

audio volume playing CDs

Evening all. I cannot obtain maximum volume from my system while playing audio CDs with cdtool. Other apps work fine while playing audio off the HD (xmms). I've used cdtool (cdvolume 255), aumix (aumix -v100), and a small app called volume (volume 255). All of these lift the volume slightly

Yes it is coming quite clear now. The update is my only path. This minutes Google search gives me hope for getting the dialup going. I had a plan to sidestep this winmodem issue as well, if necessary-I have a PC card modem. Strangely enough, when I was installing Debian for the first time,

Re: Newbie:dpkg,dselect,apt?

Ah sorry I do believe I have potato. Maybe thats the origin of this quandry. Thank you Hans, many constructive comments. I had envisaged working through all these installation glitches, then reinstalling the whole system once I was sure what files I needed. As time passes its becoming obviou

Re: Newbie:dpkg,dselect,apt?

Thanks for your help Kent. The Xfree86-server, xbase-clients etc were installed a few weeks ago as part of the main installation. X was nearly going on this computer-I could see the Debian motif but resolution was wrong, hence updating of these drivers, not the whole system. I was expecting

Newbie:dpkg,dselect,apt?

I am an absolute beginner (hadn't touched Linux two weeks ago). My brother has installed Debian (kernel 2.2.19) on a partition of my laptop. I am trying to get X going, and through some research found that I need XFree86 4.1 for it to work with my LCD screen. He gave me a CD with xfree86-com
