This is for Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft).
Dependencies
You'll need to install alien and libstdc++5. {{{sudo apt-get install alien sudo apt-get install libstdc++5 }}}
Installation
1. Google and download the rpms ([z700llpddk-2.0-1.i386.rpm] and [lexmark-z700-cups-driver-1.1.1-1.i586.rpm]). I found them on http://users.cybercity.dk/~dko12479/.
2. Run though the following commands: {{{sudo alien --to-deb *.rpm # convert unusable rpm packages to deb. dpkg -i *.deb # install the debs sudo ldconfig # refresh ubuntu to see the new libraries cd /usr/share/cups/model sudo gunzip gunzip Lexmark-Z700-lxz700cje-cups.ppd.gz # unzip the ppd, which should _not_ be gzipped sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart # The driver is now installed. Restart the cups daemon. }}}
3. Now we run: {{{/usr/lib/cups/backend/z700 }}} You should see something like: {{{direct z700:/dev/usb/lp0 "Lexmark Lexmark Z700 Series" "Lexmark Printer" }}}
4. Now simply set up your printer using the new z700 driver. (ie: in GNOME: System->Administration->Printing). Note: When selecting a driver in step 2, you need to click "Install Driver" and browse to /usr/share/cups/model/Lexmark-Z700-lxz700cje-cups.ppd.
5. Reboot(?)
* I needed to reboot to make the changes functional. Top and bottom margins seem to be an issue.
