Lexmark X1270, X2470 Linux
ESPERO QUE SIRVA CON TODAS LAS DE LA SERIE X####
MAÑANA PONDRE LA VERSION EN ESPAÑOL.
What a slog that was. Would have been easy enough IF I could have found the elusive tar file. It 404′d at the Lexmark website and took myself and a friend over 30 minutes of Googling to find (Thanks Marc!).
Here are the instructions, step-by-step, for adding your Lexmark X1270 printer under Kubuntu:
1. Download CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.tar.gz - it is the CUPS driver for RedHat 9.0. Note that it will ONLY power the printer, the scanner will not function under linux (yet).
2. Untar and unzip this file using:
$ tar -zxvf CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz
You will end up with a file called:
z600cups-1.0-1.gz.sh
3. Extract the .rpm part of this file using:
$ sh z600cups-1.0-1.gz.sh -keep
this will create a sub-directory called “installer” under the current directory, and put a whole lot of files in it. Ignore any errors you might get - if the two .rpm files are in “installer/” you are fine.
4. In the newly created directory you will find, amongst others, the files:
z600cups-1.0-1.i386.rpm, and
z600llpddk-2.0-1.i386.rpm
5a. Install ‘alien’, a Red Hat .rpm to Debian .deb converter:
$ sudo apt-get install alien
5b. To install to a debian system, you need to convert these two files to the .deb equivalent. The program to use is called “alien” and you run it as follows:
$ sudo alien z600cups-1.0-1.i386.rpm
$ sudo alien z600llpddk-2.0-1.i386.rpm
You will now find the dpkg packages:
z600cups-1.0-1.i386.deb
z600llpddk-2.0-1.i386.deb
6. Now install the driver with:
$ sudo dpkg -i z600cups-1.0-1.i386.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i z600llpddk-2.0-1.i386.deb
7. Now use CUPS or the Printer configuration tool in Ubuntu to add the printer:
K > System Settings > Printers > Administrator Mode
Select ‘CUPS’ under ‘Print System Currently Used’, then Add > Add Printer/Class.
and follow the remaining on-screen instructions. When selecting which printer you want to add, select ‘Lexmark’ then ‘Z600′ for the model. This driver works flawlessly for the X1270 printer.
