Help please I can't find the driver z600 only the Z605 does the howto work with this driver.

Re: HOWTO: Lexmark Printers
Ever thing works smoothly until I get to /etc/rc2.d/S19cupsys restart
and then it breaks.
Searching rc2.d reveals S19cupsys isn't there. Any thoughts where it might have gotten lost?

try /etc/init.d instead...
Code:
sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart
enter your password afterwards, then linux should restart cupsys.
Re: HOWTO: Lexmark Printers
Hi, I had a lot of trouble with this, but finally got it working, before I saw there was more than one page to this thread:neutral:
I put all the info together (I think) to help anyone still stuck.
First check "libstdc++5" and "libstdc++6" files are installed. Go system -> administration -> synaptic package manager,
search for libstdc, mark the two files for installation if not already installed, and click apply.
Then download Z600 linux redhat driver, save to desktop, from here:
http://downloads.lexmark.com/cgi-per...e=&fileID=1151
Into terminal type these commands (without $)
Code:
$ cd ~/Desktop
$ mkdir lexmark
$ mv CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz lexmark
$ cd ~/Desktop/lexmark
$ tar -xvzf CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz
$ tail -n +143 z600cups-1.0-1.gz.sh > install.tar.gz
$ tar -xvzf install.tar.gz
Install "alien" program, if it is not already installed, then do:
Code:
$ alien -t z600cups-1.0-1.i386.rpm
$ alien -t z600llpddk-2.0-1.i386.rpm
$ sudo tar xvzf z600llpddk-2.0.tgz -C /
$ sudo tar xvzf z600cups-1.0.tgz -C /
$ sudo ldconfig
$ cd /usr/share/cups/model
$ sudo gunzip Lexmark-Z600-lxz600cj-cups.ppd.gz
Then in a fresh terminal do:
Code:
/etc/rc2.d/S19cupsys restart
[but if this gives you an error message type in:
Code:
[$ /etc/init.d/cups restart
then do:
Code:
$ cd /usr/lib/cups/backend
$ ./z600
If you get output "direct z600:/dev/usb/lp0 "Lexmark Lexmark Z600 Series" "Lexmark Printer" " then it is great, miss the next bracketed bit.
If you get no output, then:
Code:
$ sudo gedit /etc/fstab
and copy and paste to the bottom of the document the words: "usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=14,devmode=0660 0 0"
-without the quotation marks, and then in terminal do:
$ sudo mount usbfs
Now hopefully your driver is installed and ready,
so go system -> administration -> printing,
click New,
choose printer from list,
close the "searching for drivers" or wait for it to finish,
check the "provide ppd file"
and browse for it in /usr/share/cups/model
then follow the instructions to name the printer etc and you are done!

Newonlinux: I recently installed Ubuntu on a friend's machine and it was important that I also enable its associated LexMark 1270 printer. Your summary instructions for installing the required driver made it possible to do so. Thanks so much! ~rc
Re: HOWTO: Lexmark Printers
Re: HOWTO: Lexmark Printers
If you've done everything here and you are sure you have the right printer; but the darn thing will still not do what its manufacturers built it to do, try this:
Code:
apt-get install libstdc++.so.5
and
Code:
urpmi libstd++.so.5
or
Re: HOWTO: Lexmark Printers
Hi there!
I went to the Lexmark website to download the Z35 driver for Ubuntu (Linux), selected the Linux/Unix tab, and no OS comes up!
Is there anything else that I can do please?
I only started using Ubuntu this year, and am only having problems installing the driver for my Lexmark Z35 Colour Jet Printer.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
