[mohanjith]

I had trouble downloading the archive from Lexmark. I maged to download from opendrivers.com

So I decided to host the 2 rpms my self.

Here are the links

Help i had my Lexmark x1100 USB printer with the z600 driver installed and working in edgy I386
I've just upgraded to feisty fawn AMD64 installed driver in exactly the same way can select printer but when i try to print a test page
it just says job stopped anyone have a solution is this to do with the 64 bit architecture could i install 32 bit cups would this work?
any ideas would be greatly appeacated

I'm having the same problem after going from 32bit edgy to 64bit feisty. My Lexmark z615 installs but will not print.

I have the same model and managed to get it working in Feisty. I followed the instructions, and then just had to select the PPD file when it came to choosing the driver (by clicking on the 'Install driver' button or whatever it is).

jonso i can get it to work on 32 bit arch but no 64 bit can u get it on 64 bit
if so how im really stuck

[josno]

Sorry, I gave up on amd64 just because of things like this :S I don't have the technical know-how to translate that Gentoo stuff either.

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???
