Till,
Congrats on the release of 3.0.1!
I followed your advice on removing the '/' from my short names and my XML files
now work with 3.0.1rc3 (I assume they will still work on 3.0.1 final).
I also followed all the steps below and now have a set of files ready to be
added to the database. I created a new release of my driver, version 0.2.3,
that contains the updated foomatic db files. You can download it here in the
files area:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/x125-linux/
They're in the drv_x125/foomatic directory.
Please let me know if there's anything else you need before you can add the
Lexmark X125 driver to the database.
Thanks!
- Mark
