1.

Download the [[http://www.downloaddelivery.com/srfilecache/CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz|drivers]] from Lexmark.

3. Now we run:
{{{/usr/lib/cups/backend/z600
}}}
You should see something like:
{{{direct z600:/dev/usb/lp0 "Lexmark Lexmark Z600 Series" "Lexmark Printer"		 sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart
Line 46: Line 33:

To uninstall, run:
{{{sudo aptitude remove z600cups z600llpddk}}}
Line 47: Line 38:
3. I get no output from the command in this step, although the driver is fully functional. Also, is it necessary to run "ldconfig"? -dmaz

This driver is for the Lexmark z600 series of printers, and the z615-based Dell Photo Printer 720

Dependencies

You'll need to install alien and libstdc++5. sudo apt-get install alien libstdc++5

Installation

1. Download the drivers from Lexmark.

2. Run though the following commands: {{{tar -xvzf CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz

# Repair the sh script tail -n +143 z600cups-1.0-1.gz.sh > install.tar.gz

tar -xvzf install.tar.gz

#Install rpm packages sudo alien -i z600llpddk-2.0-1.i386.rpm z600cups-1.0-1.i386.rpm

cd /usr/share/cups/model

# Unzip the ppd sudo gunzip Lexmark-Z600-lxz600cj-cups.ppd.gz

# Restart the cups daemon sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart }}}

4. Now simply set up your printer using the new z600 driver. (ie: in GNOME: System->Administration->Printing).

Uninstalling

To uninstall, run: sudo aptitude remove z600cups z600llpddk

Notes

4.bis Under kubuntu I needed to purge CUPS under adept to reinstall the drivers and to make the changes functional. It works fine

4.ter Under Edubuntu 6.1O, with sudo dpkg to have administrator rights, and a reboot to make the drivers visible, it worked just fine for a Lexmark Z640.

  • Rebooting isn't necessary, since the drivers affect CUPS and not the kernel. -dmaz
