Printer (mostly from http://blog.rachaelbond.com/lexmark/)
- With synaptic, install ia32-libs, libstdc++5:i386 and rpm
- Download CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz, for example from: software.rachaelbond.com/CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz
- tar xzvf CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz
- tail -n +143 z600cups-1.0-1.gz.sh > install.tar.gz
- tar xzvf install.tar.gz
- sudo rpm --force-debian -ivh z600cups-1.0-1.i386.rpm z600llpddk-2.0-1.i386.rpm --nodeps
- sudo service cups restart
- configure printer from the system settings with driver Lexmark-Z600
Scanner
- I get rid of libsane and libsane-extras
- I follow more or less the instructions by Ashley Hooper at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xsane/+bug/774475
- Instead of the 386 packages, I install the amd64 ones: http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/sane-backends-extras/libsane-extras_1.0.21.2_amd64.deb and http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/s/sane-backends/libsane_1.0.21-9_amd64.deb
-
In order to avoid upgrading these by mistake, I fix them:gksudo gedit /etc/apt/Now paste the below contents into the file, save and exit.
preferences. d/libsane
Package: libsane
Pin: version 1.0.21-9
Pin-Priority: 900 - I confirm it is working using the apt-cache policy command: $ apt-cache policy libsane
- Now either simple-scan or xsane work nicely with the scanner.
