here[/url]. Even if your printer isn't a z600 this driver works with a LOT of Lexmark's, so try this driver first.

Help please I can't find the driver z600 only the Z605 does the howto work with this driver.

Hello everybody!

Last week i installed ubuntu on my hp notebook and i didn't have any problems with it except my printer.

i'm absolutely new on linux, so please write your answer as if it was for a 5-year-old child!

Ever thing works smoothly until I get to /etc/rc2.d/S19cupsys restart
and then it breaks.

Searching rc2.d reveals S19cupsys isn't there. Any thoughts where it might have gotten lost?

try /etc/init.d instead...

sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart

enter your password afterwards, then linux should restart cupsys.

Hi, I had a lot of trouble with this, but finally got it working, before I saw there was more than one page to this thread
I put all the info together (I think) to help anyone still stuck.

First check "libstdc++5" and "libstdc++6" files are installed. Go system -> administration -> synaptic package manager,
search for libstdc, mark the two files for installation if not already installed, and click apply.

Then download Z600 linux redhat driver, save to desktop, from here:
http://downloads.lexmark.com/cgi-per...e=&fileID=1151

Into terminal type these commands (without $)

$ cd ~/Desktop
$ mkdir lexmark
$ mv CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz lexmark
$ cd ~/Desktop/lexmark
$ tar -xvzf CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz
$ tail -n +143 z600cups-1.0-1.gz.sh > install.tar.gz
$ tar -xvzf install.tar.gz

Install "alien" program, if it is not already installed, then do:

$ alien -t z600cups-1.0-1.i386.rpm
$ alien -t z600llpddk-2.0-1.i386.rpm
$ sudo tar xvzf  z600llpddk-2.0.tgz -C /
$ sudo tar xvzf z600cups-1.0.tgz -C /
$ sudo ldconfig
$ cd /usr/share/cups/model
$ sudo gunzip Lexmark-Z600-lxz600cj-cups.ppd.gz

Then in a fresh terminal do:

/etc/rc2.d/S19cupsys restart

[but if this gives you an error message type in:

[$ /etc/init.d/cups restart

then do:

$ cd /usr/lib/cups/backend
$ ./z600

If you get output "direct z600:/dev/usb/lp0 "Lexmark Lexmark Z600 Series" "Lexmark Printer" " then it is great, miss the next bracketed bit.
If you get no output, then:

$ sudo gedit /etc/fstab
and copy and paste to the bottom of the document the words: "usbfs         /proc/bus/usb usbfs   devgid=14,devmode=0660 0 0"
-without the quotation marks, and then in terminal do:
$ sudo mount usbfs

Now hopefully your driver is installed and ready,
so go system -> administration -> printing,
click New,
choose printer from list,
close the "searching for drivers" or wait for it to finish,
check the "provide ppd file"
and browse for it in /usr/share/cups/model
then follow the instructions to name the printer etc and you are done!

Newonlinux: I recently installed Ubuntu on a friend's machine and it was important that I also enable its associated LexMark 1270 printer. Your summary instructions for installing the required driver made it possible to do so. Thanks so much! ~rc

Direct download link for the Z600 driver:

If you've done everything here and you are sure you have the right printer; but the darn thing will still not do what its manufacturers built it to do, try this:

apt-get install libstdc++.so.5

and

urpmi libstd++.so.5

or

urpmi libstdc++

[Please Help]

Hi there!

I went to the Lexmark website to download the Z35 driver for Ubuntu (Linux), selected the Linux/Unix tab, and no OS comes up!
Is there anything else that I can do please?

I only started using Ubuntu this year, and am only having problems installing the driver for my Lexmark Z35 Colour Jet Printer.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
