Lexmark Z25 Printer
Could someone please help me with this? I have a lexmark Z25 printer and dl'ed the linux driver from their website. But here's the catcher; I have the file on CD both in Gunzip and with the files extracted. I cannot unzip it because Ark tells me I need something with the "gz" extension and also where could I copy and paste the already extracted files so that I may run it with in a shell?
I anyone can tell me how I could do any of this, I would be much appreciated.
Also, where can I find working DVD software? Xine (unofficial and official) does not work for me.  |

Linux drivers:
http://drivers.lexmark.com/drivers.n...lor+Jetprinter
Specifically the RedHat drivers:
http://drivers.lexmark.com/drivers.n...lor+Jetprinter
RedHat 9:
http://drivers.lexmark.com/drivers.n...lor+Jetprinter
I'd just go to the page 1st, rather than follow the links for the downloads...
Then I'd copy the extracted files to any seperate directory (just to keep them organized). From there run a shell and su to root, then use bash [filename.sh] to install them...
However, I've noticed that most Linux distros will recognize a USB printer automatically. Redhat 9 should as well... try using RedHat's printer configuration tool.
I'm a SuSE 8.2 user, so I'm little help there.
