Lexmark X1190 with Ubuntu 12.10 (64 bits)

I have upgraded to Ubuntu 12.10, and the steps to make the X1190 work with this version are very similar to what we did for Ubuntu 11.10 (http://angel-de-vicente.blogspot.com.es/2012/07/lexmark-x1190-with-ubuntu-1110-64-bits.html), but easier.

The scanner works by default, so nothing to be done in there.

For the printer, the steps are the same as per 11.10, but we don't need to install libstdc++5:i386, since that is now part of ia32-libs.

Lexmark X1190 with Ubuntu 11.10 (64 bits)

I have installed this printer for a number of Ubuntu distributions, and I always forget to write the details, so here they go:

Printer (mostly from http://blog.rachaelbond.com/lexmark/)

1. With synaptic, install ia32-libs, libstdc++5:i386 and rpm
2. Download  CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz, for example from: software.rachaelbond.com/CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz
3. tar xzvf CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz
4. tail -n +143 z600cups-1.0-1.gz.sh > install.tar.gz
5. tar xzvf install.tar.gz
6. sudo rpm --force-debian -ivh z600cups-1.0-1.i386.rpm z600llpddk-2.0-1.i386.rpm --nodeps
7. sudo service cups restart
8. configure printer from the system settings with driver Lexmark-Z600

 Scanner

1. I get rid of libsane and libsane-extras
2. I follow more or less the instructions by Ashley Hooper at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xsane/+bug/774475
3. 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
4. In order to avoid upgrading these by mistake, I fix them:
   gksudo gedit /etc/apt/preferences.d/libsane
   Now paste the below contents into the file, save and exit.
   
   Package: libsane
   Pin: version 1.0.21-9
   Pin-Priority: 900
5. I confirm it is working using the apt-cache policy command: $ apt-cache policy libsane
6. Now either simple-scan or xsane work nicely with the scanner.
