Problem with Lexmark Printer Drivers

[ibzrg470]

I have tried several times to get these drivers to install with no luck..

And of course Lexmark tech support's didnt even know you could download linux drivers from their site..

can anyone help?


The folder im working from is writable.
The downloaded archive contains the same three files described on the
lexmark download page.
I have removed all files and re-downloaded the file twice.
I have tried the install as a regular user and as root.


Directory where script resides:
steve@(none):~/Downloads/Tar_Zips ls -l |grep lexmark
drwxr-xr-x 2 steve users 224 2005-06-07 16:44 lexmark printer
drivers

Contents after unzipping archive:
steve@(none):~/Downloads/Tar_Zips/lexmark printer drivers ls
CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR COPYING z600cups-1.0-1.gz.sh
CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz README

Result after running install script:
steve@(none):~/Downloads/Tar_Zips/lexmark printer drivers sh
z600cups-1.0-1.gz.sh
Verifying archive integrity...OK
Uncompressing Lexmark Printer Driver
z600cups-1.0-1.gz.sh: line 133: ./install: No such file or directory
The program returned an error code (127)

Anyone?

Do you have CUPS installed and running on your computer? Should be installed by default or a package available.
After unzipping the drivers and after CuPS is up and running, try cd'ing to the folder where the drivers are located, then "./configure" and then installing.

Cups is installed

(none):/opt/snes9x #rpm -q cups
cups-1.1.20-108.22


I can select other print drivers from within YAST configuration and run a test print. With some drivers the printer will activate and move the cartridges and others it will even feed paper through. But none of the other drivers successfully run a test print.

This seems like a problem with the script to me.. I can't uncompress it either.

http://www.linuxprinting.org/printer_list.cgi?make=Lexmark shows you which Lexmark printers work under Linux.
(Do you have a rpm in your download? )
From:

# Manufacturer's name: Lexmark
# Model name:X1180
# Mechanism type inkjet

"1)First get the CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz archive from the lexmark oficial
page

2)untar it and you will get 3 archives : README, COPYNG and
z600cups-1.0-1.gz.sh

3)extract teh archives within the sh archive and you will get , in a folder
called "installer" several archives the 2 important are z600cups-1.0-1.i386.rpm
and z600llpddk-2.0-1.i386.rpm

4) in my case , using alien , i converted rpm into deb

5)use dpkg -i to isntall the alien generated debian pakages

6)use kde itself or what ever program you like to configure x1180 with that
driver!!!

If you have any redhat based distro yoy can try to execute just
z600cups-1.0-1.gz.sh to install the driver directly and it should work (beware
with de dependecy errors!!)

I hope you can use your x1180 too :D."
