Whoo!! now on to wireless print networks. while i would like to know how to unpack this file, the optra-E321 'model' option and the suggested driver (hpjis, i think) work fine. any ideas on how to unpack this driver correctly? thanks all, and this is a really great how-to.ĮDIT: nevermind.

so now.īut the only lexmark file in /usr/share/cups/model is the z600 driver from attempt #1. $ sudo tar xvzf drivers-LEXPrtDrv-5.3.1.tgz -C /Īnd all kinds of unpacking happened. $ sudo alien -t print-drivers-linux-glibc2-x86.rpm here is what i have tried with this file:

I know it's got the same name, but it is listed for E200 series. I've found a couple different formats of an E232 driver on the lexmark page, but the closest to this how-to is ''. so I deleted that 'lexmark' file and started again. Has anyone had success with the E232? the z600 driver doesn't work, but everything works fine until the test page, which comes out as 20 pages of junk. I pushed the paperfeed button, and the blinking stopped, but the paper still doesn't come out. However, attempting to print a test page just sits with the paperfeed light blinking forever and nothing comes out. z600, and the System->Administration->Printing shows my printer (I'd like it to say it's a Z25, but that's a minor issue). (ie: in GNOME: System->Administration->Printing)ĭid all that, and got the expected results from. Restart the cups daemon.ĭirect z600:/dev/usb/lp0 'Lexmark Lexmark Z600 Series' 'Lexmark Printer'Ĥ.Now simply set up your printer using the new z600 driver. Sudo /etc/rc2.d/S19cupsys restart #The driver is now installed. Sudo gunzip # unzip the ppd, which should _not_ be gzipped

Sudo ldconfig # refresh ubuntu to see the new libraries Sudo tar xvzf z600cups-1.0.tgz -C / # extract the tgz's to / putting the files in their right place Sudo tar xvzf z600llpddk-2.0.tgz -C / # extract the tgz's to / putting the files in their right place Sudo alien -t # convert unusable rpm packages to tgz. Tar -xvzf # extract the contents produced by tail Tail -n +143 .sh > # the sh script is broken for newer systems. Download the driver from lexmark's site () Sudo apt-get install libstdc++5 # (breezy come with v6 but you need v5 for compatibility)ġ. Sudo apt-get install alien # rpm to deb converter
