Lexmark x1150 Multifunktionsdrucker suse 10.0

Setting up printing

This is a good one, First of all I have two printers a Lexmark x1150 all-in-one and a Canon i860 photo printer. Neither of which are supported under linux by their manufacturers. So what should I do? Improvise. Lets start with the Lexmark.
-Lexmark X1150 all-in-one-
The Lexmark X60x series of printer driver will work with this printer, however it is only available for RedHat in .rpm format not .deb, don't worry though Linux is Linux, no matter what name is on it. If you would like a very simple way to do this you can download the driver, and a script I wrote, put them both in the same folder and my script will do everything for you, simply by typing `sh lexmarkx1150inst.sh`

---Manually installing the driver---
First lets download the Lexmark Z601 driver here.
Next you need to create a symlink for libtk8.4.so.0 because the Lexmark installer will look for libtk8.3.so do this with `ln -s /usr/lib/libtk8.4.so.0 /usr/lib/libtk8.3.so`
Now extract the files in the Lexmark archive `tar -xzf CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz`
Now run the script that was extractd ` sh z600cups-1.0-1.gz.sh --keep`
There should now be a folder called "install" in the directory. Change to that directory and notice the two .rpms.
Next you need to download a program called "alien" that can convert .rpms to .debs. You can get it with `apt-get install alien`
Now run `alien -d *.rpm` to convert both files to .debs.
Now that we have two .deb files were almost done. You now need to install the two .deb files like this `dpkg -i *.deb`
Now you need to go to the /usr/share/cups/model directory, and extract the Lexmark-Z600-lxz600cj-cups.ppd.gz like this `gunzip Lexmark-Z600cj-cups.ppd.gz`
Last lets add the printer with this command `/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p Lexmark_X1150 -E -v usb:/dev/usb/lp0 -m Lexmark-Z600-lxz600cj-cups.ppd`
Everything should be setup now and working. Try to print.
