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 |

Dependencies
You'll need to install alien and libstdc++5. {{{sudo apt-get install alien libstdc++5 }}}
Installation
1. Download the [http://downloads.lexmark.com/cgi-perl/downloads.cgi?ccs=229:1:0:389:0:0&searchLang=en&os_group=Redhat&target= Drivers for RedHat Linux] from Lexmark's site into a new directory named "lexmark" in your home directory.
2. Run though the following commands: {{{cd ~/lexmark
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
# Convert rpm packages to deb sudo alien --to-deb *.rpm
# Install the debs sudo dpkg -i *.deb
# Refresh ubuntu to see the new libraries sudo ldconfig
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 }}}
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" }}}
4. Now simply set up your printer using the new z600 driver. (ie: in GNOME: System->Administration->Printing).
Notes
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
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.
