Inkscape

Linux printer driver for the Primera LX810 color label printer

Asked by John Eggertsen

I want to use the Primera LX810 color label printer on a Ubuntu 14.04 LTS system but I haven't been able to locate a printer driver for it. I did contact Primera asking about a Linux driver and was told that they don't have one and don't antisipate that they will create one.

I have a CD with the Mac and Windows drivers. The Mac drivers are contained in a dmg file and the windows drivers are contained in an exe file. Everything that I have found says that if I should beable to extact a working PPD file from these but when I open them there are no PPD files in either of them.

Does anyone have any suggestions of where to go from here, or already have a drive that will work, or am I just stuck using a Mac or Windows machine.

Thanks in advance for any help.

John

Hi John,

I'm afraid this, being the answers section for the Inkscape program, is the wrong address for asking about printer driver problems on Ubuntu 14.04.

You'll get some more useful answers on the Ubuntu forums or at askubuntu:

Kind Regards,
