I'm using Fedora CORE2.
When I tried to install lexmark z605 driver I got following error msg:
====================================
[kesara@localhost lex]$ sh z600cups-1.0-1.gz.sh
Verifying archive integrity...OK
Uncompressing Lexmark Printer Driver............

Help Me inthis case.

Still the printer is not working.
This is the reply I got from Lexmark People:
Quote:
Lexmark does not support the Fedora Core 2 operating system. As a courtesy
to our customers Lexmark does provide a Linux Printer Driver Developer's
Kit that can be found at the following link. http://www.lexmark.com/US/products/info/linux/
To use this printer either we have to uninstall TCL lib & install an older version of it (A very difficult thing bcos lot of programs use this!)
or use an older version like Red Hat 9.
Distribution: SUSE 9.1 Pro and Debian Testing on Server

Rep:
Don't build a whole Windows box just for a Lexmark printer. They're junk anyways, go with an HP.
But, if that is not an option, you can still get security updates for Red Hat 9 through the Fedora Legacy Project. go to fedora.redhat.com and on there there is something about fedora 1 status update, u can find the link there.
Here's my notes from the last time I installed a z25 on Fedora 3 . This should be similar for other lexmark printers, maybe a different tar.gz to download.
Code:
Instructions for installing linux drivers for lexmark z25/z35 printer
1) Download CJLZ35LE-CUPS-2.0-1.TAR.GZ from
http://downloads.lexmark.com/cgi-per...e=&fileID=1242
2) Extract the tarball.
tar zxvf CJLZ35LE-CUPS-2.0-1.TAR.GZ
This creates 3 files. README, COPYING and lexmarkz35-CUPS-2.0-1.gz.sh
3) Download and install two libraries which are needed by the driver
rpm -Uvh tcl-8.4.9-2.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh tk-8.4.9-2.i386.rpm
4) Create two links which will be used by the script
cd /usr/lib
ln -s libtcl8.4.so libtcl8.3.so
ln -s libtk8.4.so libtk8.3.so
5) Run the script which will create the installer directory and some other files.
sh lexmarkz35-CUPS-2.0-1.gz.sh -keep
Note: there is an error which doesn't seem to hurt anything.
# sh lexmarkz35-CUPS-2.0-1.gz.sh -keep
Creating directory installer
Verifying archive integrity...OK
Uncompressing Lexmark Printer Driver............
./install: line 15: ./xlexinstall: No such file or directory
The program returned an error code (127)
6) Go to the installer directory which was created in the previous step and run this command.
rpm -Uvh *rpm
7) From the readme file. Copy the following line and paste it into the file /etc/cups/mime.convs:
image/x-bitmap application/vnd.cups-raster 100 imagetoraster
8) Restart the CUPS daemon for changes to take effect.
service cups restart
9) Use the print manager or http://localhost:631 to install the lexmark z35 printer.
Here are instructions using the print manager...
