Hi there,
I followed all the steps,
When I go to System -> Administration - Printing
and Add a new printer
It says use a detected printer
Lexmark Lexmark Z65
Woohoo!
When I go on to select a driver, the z65 nor z600 ones are there :S
any ideas?
Thanks
Kev
Have a look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...74#post2518474
Thanks I tried that, but nothing has come up in my Printers screen, I tried doing it again and it says it is already installed.
I tried printing something and just get "Error whilst printing"
Any more ideas?
When i try to add a printer I cannot see z600 at all... but when i use z31 and/or z32 my printer will shoot paper out, but not print on it... any ideas?
I have a x1270..
I basically cut'n'pasted the commands. the only trouble I ran into was installing alien [no big deal] and having to wait a few minutes for ./z600 to return any results. thanks for the tut!
Does anyone know of a way to get a Lexmark X5250 working on Xubuntu? Is there a PPD driver available anywhere or would i be better of getting an old WinMachine & just setting it up on the Network as a Print Server? It's for my partners machine. She's been using XP up until now, and i've just installed Xubuntu (Feisty) on it for her.... working great, even picked up the D-Link USB wifi stick (Which it wouldn't do when i tried a year or so ago) so i'm very pleased..... if i can just get this printer going then she'll be set & i'll have another converted Linux user!!
Any help or pointers much appreciated.
Thanks......

Hey all! I'm new to the forums... fun and games..
Anyways, I don't suppose anyone knows how to get the scanner bit of a Lexmark X1185 to work, eh? I've tried XSANE, and it just stalls the scanner... a hideous "BRRRRRR!" noise emanates from deep within the plastic heap. I also tried the GNOME Scanner Utility, but to no avail.. it just crashes.
From what I've seen in other Linux forums, the best way to fix the issue seems to be to just scrap the Lexmark.
Thanks in advance for any help or insight on the issue.

Also, using Ubuntu Edgy on this machine.
Another newbie here. Followed the first post, went pretty well (had to install alien and had to sudo to restart cupsys), got to the end and got this-
usr1@desktop:/usr/lib/cups/backend$ ./z600
./z600: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
usr1@desktop:/usr/lib/cups/backend$
Using KDE desktop.
Tried to install printer anyway, found the nre z600 driver fine, went through install, test print comes up, reports test sent to printer OK, but nothing else. Suggestions?
Thanks
Hello. I'm trying to download the z600 driver from Lexmark's site but it is giving me a 404 error. I tried googling for the file but all sites point back to the Lexmark page.
Can anyone point me to a site that has the driver archived?
Thanks,
tatakae
