HOWTO: Lexmark Printers

[duanyang]

Hi,
i use all the steps, except the 2nd step from the last (where my system has S20cupsys instead of S19cupsys):

sudo /etc/rc2.d/S20cupsys restart
* Restarting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd [ OK ]

all seem fine, except when i run ./z600, i got this error:

./z600: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared

i see libstdc++.so.6 is in my lib folder. how can i do now?

thanks,
Dan

Hello!

I just set up a lexmark z605 printer on my ubuntu pc, it works okey, the procedure was something like in this guide. The only problem i'm having is the special characters. I would like it to print my Hungarian documents, but it leaves out two characters: í and u, yes, you're seeing it right: u, not úüű, just a simple u.

Any ideas on that?

I'm using a dell inspiron 1501 and ubuntu 8.10, cause v. 8.04 didn't work out for me at all.

Thanx
take care!

Dan,

I had this too. Gutsy and Hardy install version 6 of the library and the driver is dynamically linked to version 5. So type this into your Terminal:

sudo aptitude install libstdc++5

That should fix it.

By the way, I know you fixed this already, but S19cupsys and S20cupsys are both links to /etc/init.d/cupsys. So either way this should work:

sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart

HtH,
Fatman

I just recently changed from windows to ubuntu and I am trying to get my lexmark 1150 printer to work but every time I try to run the code
tar xvzf CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz I get an error message saying
tar: CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
Everything before works this line. Any ideas?

tar: CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory

This line says the file CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz is not present where it should be. Check to see if you actually have it in the directory you are trying to run the uncompress command from. Capital lettering matters, so use TAB to see if it would find the correct file and its name.

Thanx I just extracted it though and just put it on my desktop.

Have you tried sudo apt-get install libstdc++5 ? You obviously have version 6, but I had to install the older one as well to get it working - once you've actually got the thing printing you can remove it.

Sorry - just noticed this one's been answered. I was so pleased to get my printer working I wanted to help someone!

Hi,

I followed all the steps
but when I type ./z600 I get no output I mounted the USBFS and tried using sudo but still didn't get any output
I am running intrepid beta and have a dell 924 which is a re-branded lexmark 615

thanks

i found xsane worked fine with my 1200 series - not as nicely as the native lexmark but at least it works
