install printer

I thin you are speaking about Lexmark

If so , please goto this link and try to find your drivers : http://downloads.lexmark.com/perl/downloads/downloads.cgi?ccs=229:1:0:0:0:0

After find the drivers do this , replace CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz with your driver name

$ 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 gzipped

Thanks for trying to help me I went to the lexmark site They did not have ubuntu8.10 , they had 8.04 I tryed it did not work as for the other stuff you told me to do means nothing to me I have no idea how to do this. I was able to get to where there was IPP,LPD and smb:// but I'm lost . I've been trying for 3 days to get this printer to work. I bought this computer on eBay and thought I would like linix because I don't like all the BS with microsoft. I think my be I made a bad choice I don't think I know enough about computer systems to use this . I'm on a very limited budget and can't buy another computer for months. I'm really having a bad time right now, I have a printer I really need to use and can't I work to do. Is there something easy to do or should I just shoot my computer and get it out of my

I down loaded the driver from lexmark but I have no idea how to find it in my computer or how to open it to make the changes. Could you please tell me how this is done ?

The best possible i got is this , its only 4 steps , u just need to follow them , it easy , don worry everything will be fine

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters/LexmarkZ23

Did you download the drivers for 8.40 , if so extract it , open the readme or install file , paste the contents here ,
if u didn't here is the link
http://www.downloaddelivery.com/downloads/cpd/lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh.zip

And please don't blame Ubuntu guys , if u have had looked at the archive , you wouldn't have said what you have
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-49714.html

http://pastebin.com/m30839c87

download the drivers from here , and chmod +x the file , then run it ./<file>

hope it works

Thank you very much for trying to help me I've tried to do the things you said but I don't even know how to get to the places you are talking about to make changes. I'm sure that ubuntu is a great OS its to hard for me to understand. I have very limited system knowledge and I'm frustrated and depressed now maybe I'll try again in a few days.
Thanks Again
Carl Walters
