Hello, I'm trying to find the tar.gz file to download for the Z600 printer. Do you have a copy? I looked on other forums and their links that go to the lexmark website do not exist anymore. Thanks for the help.

log in as root Download the driver (the procedure is written for z600 but should work), save it to a desktop folder such as `lexmark`then this, exclude the comments to the right of the hash (#) marks$ mkdir lexmark$ mv CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz lexmark # move the package to a folder. optional, but recommended. $ tar -xvzf CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz # extract the driver.$ tail -n +143 z600cups-1.0-1.gz.sh > install.tar.gz # the sh script is broken for newer systems. use `tail` to extract the binary portion of the script.$ tar -xvzf install.tar.gz # extract the contents produced by tail$ alien -t z600cups-1.0-1.i386.rpm # convert unusable rpm packages to tgz.$ alien -t z600llpddk-2.0-1.i386.rpm # convert unusable rpm packages to tgz.$ sudo tar xvzf z600llpddk-2.0.tgz -C / # extract the tgz's to / putting the files in their right place$ sudo tar xvzf z600cups-1.0.tgz -C / # extract the tgz's to / putting the files in their right place$ sudo ldconfig # DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP or your printer backend won't find required libraries$ cd /usr/share/cups/model$ sudo gunzip Lexmark-Z600-lxz600cj-cups.ppd.gz # unzip the ppd, which should _not_ be gzippedThe driver is now installed. Restart the cups daemon:/etc/rc2.d/S19cupsys restartCheck whether the printer backend works;$ cd /usr/lib/cups/backend$ ./z600The output of the above command should be _similar_ to this:direct z600:/dev/usb/lp0 "Lexmark Lexmark Z600 Series" "Lexmark Printer" If you get no output, mount the usb filesystem.Add this to your /etc/fstab file:usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=14,devmode=0660 0 0Then just type: sudo mount usbfs. That should fix it.Now simply set up your printer through the System->Administration->Printing in gnome. Make sure you select the z600 driver, and you're golden.z35 driver to have the Z35 driver file: CJLZ35LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz [Broken Link Removed]HOW TO Install printer Lexmark X1270 on (K/L/X)Ubuntu 10.04 #--- Install aliensudo apt-get install alien#--- Install libstdc++.so.5cd ~/Downloadsmkdir lexmarkcd lexmarkwget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/i/ia32-libs/ia32-libs_2.7ubuntu6.1_amd64.debdpkg-deb -x ia32-libs_2.7ubuntu6.1_amd64.deb ia32-libssudo cp ia32-libs/usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.5.0.7 /usr/lib/sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.7 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5#--- Download the drivers from one of the below links (they are mirrors to same file):http : // www.easy-share.com/1908438339/Z617.tar.gz (no spaces)# You will need to manually download the file in firefox, and wait a minute for the download button to appear.

Then click "Forward" and "Apply" on the next screen# - Turn your printer off, wait a few seconds and turn it back on again (this is just to make sure there's nothing in the buffer to cause problems). # - Select the printer, right-click -> "Properties" -> "Printer options", and configure the "Media size" (to A4 in my case), the "Media Type" (to Plain Paper=normal paper, in my case) and any other option you see fit. Configure at least the "Media size" or the printings may get out distorted.#--- And it should be all done and working now!# Try to print a test-page in the CUPS options, or open OpenOffice Writter to write something in a blank sheet and click "Print" :)# From now on, you only need to plug the printer to the computer, and you can "Print" normally to it :)#--- NOTES:#PS. if you get an error message saying that the "printer could not execute a filter" then execute:sudo chown -hR root:root /usr/lib/cups/filtersudo chown -hR root:root /usr/lib/cups/backendTested and working with:Ubuntu 10.04 + Lexmark X1270 printer Ubuntu 10.04 + Lexmark Z517 printer Kubuntu & Ubuntu 10.04 + Lexmark X1170 printer
