How do I install drivers for a Lexmark X6675 Printer?
Solution 1
This is my solution with Lexmark x4650 driver. Adjust to your needs.
Please execute the commands one by one:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs xz-lzma
wget http://downloads.lexmark.com/downloads/cpd/lexmark-08z-series-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh.tar.gz -O lexmark-08z-series-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh.tar.gz
tar xzvf lexmark-08z-series-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh.tar.gz
./lexmark-08z-series-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh --noexec --target lexmark
cd lexmark
tar xJvf instarchive_all
dpkg-deb -I lexmark-08z-series-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb
mkdir raw-lexmark-archive
dpkg-deb --raw-extract lexmark-08z-series-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb raw-lexmark-archive
sed -i "/^ $/d" raw-lexmark-archive/DEBIAN/control
cat raw-lexmark-archive/DEBIAN/control
dpkg-deb -b ./raw-lexmark-archive fixed-lexmark-08z-series-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i fixed-lexmark-08z-series-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb
To remove the package run:
sudo dpkg -P lexmark-08z-series-driver:i386
all works, but when you go to add the ppd files, it's in /home/lexmark/raw-lexmark-archive/usr/local/lexmark/08zero/ect
For the x4650, choose lx36-46.ppd

"If a dozen men, working eight hours a day, had to dig a hole ten-and-a-half miles deep—how long would it be, including Sundays, before they put down their spades?" The King's eyes shone with a cunning sparkle. He gazed at the Cat with a look of triumph. But the Cat had its answer ready. "Two seconds," it said quickly, with a little flick of its tail. "Two seconds! Are you mad? The answer's in years!" The King rubbed his hands together with glee at the thought of the Cat's mistake. "I repeat," said the Cat. "It would take them two seconds. To dig such a hole would be utterly foolish. 'Ten miles deep?' they would say. 'Why, what on earth for?'" P.L. Travers Mary Poppins The Cat that looked at a King.
