    Re: HOWTO: Lexmark Printers

    Dapper 6.06. Configuring Lexmark z515.

    Tried everything I could find about installing the z600le driver. I tried for hours but nothing worked for me (I'm new to command line).

    I learned a lot along the way; thanks to all who contributed to this thread.

    Then I found this installation How To:

    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupp...rs/LexmarkZ605

    I followed these directions and EUREKA! My z515 works perfectly. Thank you all for help.

    Code:
    usbfs         /proc/bus/usb usbfs   devgid=14,devmode=0660 0 0
    in /etc/fstab.

    When I typed

    Code:
    sudo mount usbfs
    I got this:
    Code:
    mount: usbfs already mounted or /proc/bus/usb busy
    mount: according to mtab, procbususb is already mounted on /proc/bus/usb
    Any suggestions?
    I got it working again: it was a faulty USB Hub. The HOWTO works for Dapper too, it seems. good luck everybody

    Re: HOWTO: Lexmark Printers

    Finally! I got my Lexmark x1110 printer to work in Dapper! I haven't tested my scanner, yet, though.

    Thank you so much!

    BTW, I can't seem to be able to print from Firefox. Anyone else have this issue?

    I figured out your problem -- you need to mount the usb filesystem. Add this line to /etc/fstab

    usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=14,devmode=0660 0 0

    Then type

    sudo mount usbfs

    Try the backend again and it should work.
    Excuse my lack of Linux-knowlege, but how do you "add" that line to /etc/fstab.

    Hi,
    Got that driver going for my lexmark-X1195 on SuSE 10.0. The only changes I had to make were :-

    1.did not do the alien part - just did :-
    rpm -ivh --nodeps ( both rpms on same line )
    2.to reatart cups :- /etc/init.d/cups restart
    3.added that usbfs line to my existing fstab ( after backing up fstab )
    4.umount usbfs & did 'mount usbfs'
    5.ran out the test print via gnome ... all went well !!


    Regards, .

    Printers that this howto covers (there are many, many others, but these are the printers that have been confirmed to work so far (also note that Dell's printers are merely rebranded Lexmarks):

    With that said, let's get to it!

    The driver we'll be using is the z600 one, which can be found here. Even if your printer isn't a z600 this driver works with a LOT of Lexmark's, so try this driver first.

    Download the driver, save it to a desktop folder such as `lexmark` (I say _folder_ because extracting the driver is a messy process!).

    Obviously, exclude the comments to the right of the hash (#) marks, I include them only to explain the commands.

    Code:
    $ mkdir lexmark
    $ mv CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz lexmark # move the package to a folder. optional, but recommended. 
    $ 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. use `tail` to extract the binary portion of the script.
    $ tar -xvzf install.tar.gz # extract the contents produced by tail
    $ alien -t z600cups-1.0-1.i386.rpm # convert unusable rpm packages to tgz.
    $ 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 # DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP or your printer backend won't find required libraries
    $ cd /usr/share/cups/model
    $ sudo gunzip Lexmark-Z600-lxz600cj-cups.ppd.gz # unzip the ppd, which should _not_ be gzipped
    The driver is now installed. Restart the cups daemon:
    Code:
    /etc/rc2.d/S19cupsys restart
    Check whether the printer backend works;
    Code:
    $ cd /usr/lib/cups/backend
    $ ./z600
    The output of the above command should be _similar_ to this:
    If you get no output, mount the usb filesystem.

    Add this to your /etc/fstab file:

    Code:
    usbfs         /proc/bus/usb usbfs   devgid=14,devmode=0660 0 0
    Then just type: sudo mount usbfs. That should fix it.

    Now simply set up your printer through the System->Administration->Printing in gnome. Make sure you select the z600 driver, and you're golden.

    For KDE users...well, you'll have to use whatever printer dialogue that KDE provides.

    There you have it! If you need any help, post to this thread.
    ok, i opened terminal typed in the commands as you had them written.
    i downloaded the driver from lexmark.
    but when i got to the 2nd one, the reply i got the file connot be found in any file or directory.
    what did i do wrong?
    thanks
