LexmarkZ605
This is for Breezy 5.10.
It should (in theory) work on the other z600 series printers out there.
Dependencies
You'll need to install alien and libstdc++5. {{{sudo apt-get install alien sudo apt-get install libstdc++5 }}}
Installation
1. Download the driver from lexmark's site (CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz)
2. Run though the following commands: {{{tar -xvzf CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz # extract the driver. tail -n +143 z600cups-1.0-1.gz.sh > install.tar.gz # the sh script is broken for newer systems. tar -xvzf install.tar.gz # extract the contents produced by tail sudo alien -t z600cups-1.0-1.i386.rpm # convert unusable rpm packages to tgz. sudo alien -t z600llpddk-2.0-1.i386.rpm # convert unusable rpm packages to tgz. sudo tar xvzf z600llpddk-2.0.tgz -C / # extract the tgz's to / putting the files in their right place sudo tar xvzf z600cups-1.0.tgz -C / # extract the tgz's to / putting the files in their right place sudo ldconfig # refresh ubuntu to see the new libraries cd /usr/share/cups/model sudo gunzip Lexmark-Z600-lxz600cj-cups.ppd.gz # unzip the ppd, which should _not_ be gzipped sudo /etc/rc2.d/S19cupsys restart # The driver is now installed. Restart the cups daemon. }}}
3. Now we run: {{{/usr/lib/cups/backend/z600 }}} You should be 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)
