How to install a Lexmark z600 series printer?

HOWTO: Lexmark Printers Page 69 post 68 by VietCanada this worked!.

  1. install libstdc++5 from synaptic.
  2. install getlibs-all.deb.
  3. install lexmark.z600-0.4.deb.
  4. go to System/Administration/Printing.
  5. choose Lexmark z600 printer

Only seems to work for 64 bit though, on a 32 bit Ubuntu 11.04 Install, the package lexmark.z600-0.4.deb can't be installed due to a missing dependency libcupsys2 which i can't install.


These steps just worked for me on Ubuntu 12.04, 32-bit with a very old Lexmark X1180 printer/scanner (I only want to print BTW).

1) Install libstdc++5 from synaptic.

2) Remove existing z600xxxx packages from synaptic (I think I had previously tried to install an older version of the z600 drivers)

3) Install lexmark.z600-0.4.deb.

4) Insert USB cable to printer.

5) Go to Printing via Ubuntu search.

6) Added new printer, chose the connected printer, then selected Lexmark manufacturer and right at the bottom the z600 driver from the installed package appeared in the list.
