I bet I already know the answer but I cant seem to get the Lexmark X6150 to work despite installing the z55 driver as someone recommended. I sent a test page that took 10 minutes and nothing was printed. Ive searched the internet and it seems this printer might be a dud as far as getting it to work. Any driver suggestion I could try???

kevdog, I have the same EXACT printer and I couldn't get it to work. Wondering if you have had some success recently? Please let me know.


Thank you,
Rahul.

Have there been any developments on the Lexmark P4350 questions?

This is currently the only thing stopping me from switching from Windows XP on my laptop to Ubuntu 7.04!

The download link on Lexmark's site for CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.GZ is a dead link. Please someone help me find the file!

I, too, need this file. I confirm that it is down. Would anyone still have it and could maybe post it here?

Thanks so much!

i was just trying to download the file too. the result, i've found, is that whoever is maintaining the lexmark site is an idiot.

note that the link on their site points to
http://www.downloaddelivery.com/srfilecache/CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.GZ

the actual file name is case sensitive and the correct file is
http://www.downloaddelivery.com/srfilecache/CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz

happy downloading =)

Haha. Well. This is excellent! Thanks, sk8!

Just successfully printed a test page going by the directions in the original post.

Cut and paste worked fine, no additional tweaking of the commands given.

However, I did have trouble getting the initial tarball off lexmark's web site to get the process started. I don't know if they've taken the file off permanently, or it was just missing temporarily, but I kept getting a 404 error when I tried to download it.

I did find the file on this howto (http://www.staerk.de/thorsten/index....ith_SUSE_Linux)

The file can be downloaded directly by using this link:

works fine on feisty and Lexmark X1190.

Thank you.

This seems to work for my Lexmark X1150 on both Ubuntu Feisty and Debian Etch... Thanks!

I only encountered one problem - In the GNOME "New Printer" wizard, it did not display the Z600 driver. The solution to this is to open CUPS (go to http://localhost:631/ in your web browser), and add the driver via its "Add Printer" wizard. When you're prompted to choose a driver, click the "Browse" or "Choose" button next to the "Or Provide a PPD File:" field, and browse to /usr/share/cups/models/Lexmark-Z600-lxz600cj-cups.ppd.
