HOWTO: Lexmark Printers

[mishranurag]

Will this work in dapper?

[ZephyrXero]

Dapper user here, with a Lexmark X1185

I just followed the instructions in the first post and when I ran ./z600 it gave me an error saying it could not find stdlibc++5 or something, and then proceeded to make Gnome start acting weird and crash. After a reboot GDM won't even come up now...

Another weird thing is that I can't get sudo access anymore either....I don't know what the hell happened but it's bad (writing this from the recovery mode). I've even tried installing stdlibc+5 and that didn't fix it either.

This might be simple, but how do I copy or print the code that's been put in a scrolling box, why can't it be typed in so we can see it all?

Hi!

I've followed the instructions written in Lexmark Z600 printers #1, but when typing ./z600 nothing did appear... That's a problem, isn't it?

in System-admin-printers I see "CUPS printer (IPP)" - under Network printer since my Z602 is on a windoz-machine on the network. Should I choose this IPP, or the Windows SMB? Do you think will that work for me with this driver to print on network?

Thanks

#84:

This problem still prevails... If I connect the printer (usb) directly to the laptop, printing goes smoothly. But normally the laptop isn't near the printer, so I would like to use my wlan-network to print through the desktop-pc.
I just don't know what type of network-printer to choose: CUPS (ipp) or Windows SMB? And how should I fill the appropriate fields? (Server, printer, user, pwd)

I have the same problem as ZephyrXero

ubuntu dapper flight 5
lexmark x1130

I got the same error and now when I boot, the xserver craches
sudo doesn't work
(su does work, but then I get complaints about me giving the wrong password for root access...)

any solutions?

Unless I'm mistaken you have to enter your user-pw when sudo, or rather the root-pw in case of su

off course, tried them both, didn't fix it, recovery mode did work, tried to undo the attempt to install printer

couldn't get it fixed

Ditto. I just had to end up reinstalling
