I downloaded the tarball from Lexmark and have been following these instructions:
$ 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 But I came unstuck at: $ tar -xvzf install.tar.gz # extract the contents produced by tail which produced the following error: (the gap between the command and the error message was put there by Bash) doro...@lenny:~/Downloads/z600$ tar -xvzf install.tar.gz gzip: stdin: not in gzip format tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors doro...@lenny:~/Downloads/z600$ I am now stuck. I realise that this is elementary and have spent a lot of time trying to solve it myself (Google etc.), but I need help!
