How to execute lz11.install?
I had downloaded the new Z11 driver, and it contains a file called "lz11.install". My question is: how does one go about executing this file to perform the install? I have tried entering lz11, lz11.install, install lz11, etc. If I enter "install --help" I get instructions on how to copy directories from source to destination, etc. I must be missing something. Can anyone help?:Pengy:

Most likely that is just a text file for instructions on how to install the driver. If this is the Z11 driver for the Lexmark printer, I would presume you could try this after unpacking the driver and then running a make, then a make install.
Have you looked on Lexmarks site for any documentation on installing this driver ? |
No, it's not a text file. Its some sort of bash program. It starts out:
#!/bin/bash who=`whoami`; if [ $who != "root" ]; then echo "You need to be root to be able to install lz11. Please log in as root and try again" exit 1 fi echo "The following program will set up the Lexmark Z11 printer driver." while true do INSTALL=0 CONFIGURE=0 TESTPAGE=0 cat<<END Pick one of the following options: 1) Install (old printing environment) 2) Install (Foomatic/linuxprinting.org) 3) Configure 4) Print test page 5) Uninstall 0) Quit END Maybe I should have included this in the first place. Sorry. Any ideas? I did go to linux printing site (that's where I got the driver from), but all they say is to download, extract the files, and then install. I've done the first two, and am now stuck on the third. |
Try maybe this as root:
cd into the directory you extracted it to then do a: ./lz11.install After making sure the actual file is executable. |
have you tried ./lz11.install as root, in the directory that you extracted the files?
|
That was the solution. I went to the location of the lz11.install file, and ran ./lz11.install. Thanks! Now to see if the printer will print!!!
|
Basically you needed the ./ in front of the command as most likely where you extracted it to wasn't in your path to search for the command itself..
Hopefully it installed just fine from that point... :) |
