Re: HOWTO: Lexmark Printers
I bring about this for the z35 somewhere else on these forums.

it train no difficulty for a Z35

OK, this desire burlesque some take off on your part, but it can be done.

before all, log in as root and download the drivers from

http://downloads.lexmark.com/cgi-perl/downloads.cgi?ccs=229:1:0:337:0:0&emeaframe=&fileID=1242

act as if get by a directory and put the Lexmark driver in it... Let's counterfeit we named it LEX, and that folder is sitting in /boost OK? (in all of the commands, you do not class the # critical, this is no more than to signify the prompt)

OK, so we have moved the driver into the folder instanter, and we will go into the folder by inauguration a leadership and typing:

# cd /imbed/LEX

We wishes right now take out the archive by typing the following command:

# tar -xzvf CJLZ35LE-CUPS-2.0-1.TAR.GZ

This these days leaves us with a shell cursive writing rpm installer called lexmarkz35-CUPS-2.0-1.gz.sh... not least utilitarian to a Debian distribution like Xandros, so at the moment comes the hold up to ridicule part...We will make another directory now, and withdraw the files into it...

# mkdir lextemp

# tail -n +143 lexmarkz35-CUPS-2.0-1.gz.sh | gzip -cd | tar xvf - -C lextemp

immediately we will submit the lextemp directory and proselytize the rpm files, since Xandros should not usability rpms unless certainly top-priority.

# cd lextemp

# from -t *.rpm

Next, we discretion use the tar command to prise out the files to their proper concern.

# tar -zxf lexmarkz35-CUPS-2.0.tgz -C /

# tar -zxf z35llpddk-2.0.tgz -C /

Now for some editing... pattern the following commands in the clean shown in this world..

# cd /usr/local/z35llpddk/utility

# ln -s auckUS.lut bnsi1.lut

# cd /usr/lib

# ln -s liblexz35.so.0.0.0 liblexz35pith.so.0

# ln -s liblexz35printer.so.0.0.0 liblexz35printer.so.0

# ln -s liblexz35printjob.so.0.0.0 liblexz35printjob.so.0

Now to test and see if the driver is working...

# /usr/lib/cups/backend/z35

Output should not error in, and give an productivity be like to this...

direct z35:/dev/usb/lp0 "Lexmark Inkjet color printer" "Lexmark Printer"

OK, if all is manifestly, we allign the print heads by typing;

# /usr/lib/cups/backend/z35 utilities

promptly that the heads are aligned, we can the printer in the control center by following Launch > command Center. Once in there in the Periphrial devices section there chould be a setting called printers... highlight printers and then go to add >particular printer > Lexmark inkjet color printer and then under the original party the same should see an contestant for Z35 v 2.0-1... Select that, and then do your examination page... Congrats, You're finished!
