[Request] Lexmark 08z printer driver (deb or rpm packages)

Good evening! I have been trying and trying to get either Lexmark's 08z Printer Driver .deb or .rpm to convert to a tar.xz or tar.gz to install with pacman.
Here is a link to Lexmark's support page. (You can navigate to either the .deb or .rpm from there easily.)
I have a college paper due on monday, so it's not immediately pressing.
Thank you for all of your help in advance!
Leo

Thanks ASOM! That did the trick. Next time I will investigate a little more before picking up a new piece of hardware that just started to support Linux. 
I suppose I could see that money spent as an encouragement for Lexmark, since they did take the big leap into the scary waters of open source support.
Perhaps with a little helpful feedback, we can get them to put the drivers in a package like HP uses. I don't care what's in the package that gets my printer to work, just so long as it is fully functional. I know, I know.. "Bad Open Source Advocate!" ...but we can just club these companies to death when they don't do every little thing our way. After all, most of us use nVidia cards, since the nVidia blob is still better than the open source nouveau driver. (For the time being. I still have faith in those devs!)

  • 10.6 snow leopard printer driver for Z23

    Help!! I looked and looked everywhere for a printer driver for Z23 on OS 10.6. I tried to load the optional installation from CD but, after installing, it did not list Z23 and it screwed up my other printer drivers. I got Z23 printer from Apple Store when I purchased Mini Mac with OS 10.2. But, the mini mac died and I had to purchase iMac with 10.5 and then upgraded to 10.6. So, I really need a Lexmark Z23 printer driver for Mac OS 10.6 so bad. Please expedite. I really appreciate it.

    The last driver for the Z23 for Mac is for OS X 10.3. <http://support.lexmark.com/index?locale=en&productCode=Z23COLOR_JETPRINTER&userlocale=EN_US&segment=DOWNLOAD&os=MAC_OS_X_10_3_X&page=downl oadsList&oslocale=enUS#1> That's it, there ain't no more. It's no longer supported and hasn't been for a very long time. I had a Z23 many years ago and was less than impressed with its performance then. (The very first item on the FAQ: "Why is my Z23 so slow?" and no, they weren't joking.) And that thing shipped with just a colour cart, you needed to buy the black cart separately... and it wasn't easy to find the black carts. You're gonna need a new printer. Sorry, but them's the facts.

  • Installing DEB or RPM printer drivers on ArchLinux running on Pogoplug

    I've managed to get Archlinux running on my ARM6 Pogoplug. I got the timemachine server up and running, and I'm moving on to a CUPS server. I can't find any linux drivers in the Gutenprint repository, but it appears that Lexmark has Linux driver downloads for my printer: http://support.lexmark.com/index?locale … age=null#1
    That's great, except a) they only have Debian or RPM based packages, and b) from the CUPS web administration, it's asking for a "PPD" file. I've tried downloading both drivers to my Pogoplug and running the install scripts, but both fail, saying:
    Operating system: linux
    CPU Arch: armv6l
    Warning: No installer for "armv6l" found, defaulting to x86...

  • Lexmark Wireless Printing - Mac OS 10.6 Driver

    I have a Lexmark 2420 Wireless printer that I have been using w/Windoze. Just bought a MacNotebook Pro and upgraded to 10.6. Added my printer but the 10.6 driver failed. Installed the Mac version from my Lexmark CD and replaced the driver w/ 10.5 and still no luck. Contacted Lexmark Support and set up chat and was informed of new driver. Unfortunately I no longer have that on my clipboard but you can get it from Lexmark Support. The good news is it works!
    Lexmark has a new driver for 10.6. Go to their support and chat.

    Wifi printing w/ OS 10.6 requires Lexmark 10.6 driver that is now available from their tech support.

  • Printer driver for copy of a request output

    We have a conc. request that generates the check information as a report output (standard rep. customized). Output gets sent to a secure printer that prints checks. Users need a copy of the report output to be moved to a location on the unix drive so that it can be moved to a location where all report outputs are stored.
    To accomplish this, we are trying to use/modify the printer driver (potentially change the init string) so that it writes a copy of the report output to the unix drive. Has any one tried this before? Any other ideas of achieving this?
    Thanks,
    Chiru

    Any of the A520 series drivers should work, and they actually point to the same driver.

  • Lexmark printer driver error

    Im having issues with connecting my mac to a Lexmark P4350 printer.  I connected and it worked for a while and then stopped.  Now it consistantly is in pause mode and an error message that its unable to use the legacy class driver.
    How can I resolve this? I tried to uninstall the printer driver but I recieved an error message to say this was unssupported.  So i deleted all signs of Lexmark on the printer and then reinstalled without success.
    Any helpful comments are appreciated!

    no, unfortunatly its still wont print.  New error message in the printer log:

  • My Lexmark X2670 printer doesn't work right since I reinstalled the Firefox 3,6 version. I keep getting the alignment page to print over and over. Is there a problem between the two? Do I need a new printer driver? What?Daisynew66

    I had to change my hrowser to Firefox because Internet Explorer 9 doesn't work with my ancestry.com program. I can't uninstall Internet Explorer 9. I got Firefox 4 and it didn't work either. I started having problems with my printer working at all then. l was told to go to Firefox 3.x. I looked and there is no 3.x it is 3.5 or 3.6. I downloaded 3.6. Now I keep getting a alignment page and end up having to shut off my printer. I'm using way too much ink. I'm almost out with no hope of getting more ink until I get paid. I can't find anyplace that says to update a driver or that I need a plug-in or what might be I've done everything I know to do.wrong. It has new port cables. Do you have any idea what could be wrong? Do I need to uninstall the printer and reinstall it again? daisy

    I just figured out the print quality issue for my wife with her new iMac and new printer.
    She replaced both at once and she couldn't understand why her Artisan 730 was lower quality then her Epson R280 when they had the same specs.
    Turns out the newer printer had the option to connect via wifi which we used during setup.
    The driver options are completely different depending on how you connect.
    Once I connected via USB the correct options were available and the print quality was better.
    Looking at the R2400 it dies not have wifi, but while researching the problem for my wife someone esle was having an issue updating to the latest printer driver.
    If you go into the print utility from the Printer and Scanner system preference and under the general tab you should have driver 5.5.
    One user had to delete the old printer driver before Software Update loaded the newer printer driver.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15947486#15947486
    On my MacBook Pro (w Snow Leopard) I always had to reconnect my wifi at home when it woke up. I upgraded my router from an old Netgear to a newer N D-Link and stopped having to do that.
    I would be surprised you would have that problem with an Airport Extreme, you might check to see if there is a firmware update for it.

  • Printer Driver issue

    Hi,
    I am using printer HP4000X to generate PCL files. This is an PCL6 printer(HP LaserJet 4000/4000N (PCL6)). When I compiled IFD, i have checked this printer to generate MDF file.
    When i generate PCL file in Adobe central with this MDF file and a dat file, the PCL file is getting generated, but an error file is also generated along with this saying "[247]Printer Driver `hp4000x' has not been compiled into this MDF.". Can anyone please help me on this. I don't want this error file to get generated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, I am running into the same issue using Central5.7linux.  I have compiled my template with only two test fields and I have made the .dat file very simple, yet, I am getting the same error:
    2011/10/18 15:31:14 /u01/jetform/bin/jfmerge: [247]Printer Driver `LEX616P' has not been compiled into this MDF.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?  I have even tried removing the Lexmark print driver option by running setup.exe and I still get this error.  I'm not sure how I can be running into this error when I create a brand new .mdf with two fields on it.

  • I can no longer wireless print from my mac using my Lexmark X4550 printer

    I have read all the previous forums from like a year ago about the troubles that Leopard brought to Lexmark printers, some helped a lot, although I would really like to use my wireless capabilities. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling like 15 times and I decided to post a thread here to hopefully get this resolved. I get as far as installing the printer driver but then when I go to install the printer into my print&fax under system preferences it does not allow me to add the printer... It just does not show up under my printer options. Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED, Thank you.
    P.S.
    I can print using USB cable but would really like to print wireless. I was able to print wireless before I installed Leopard and have tried talking to Lexmark but no help.

  • I am unable to print to a Lexmark C782 printer

    I have been troubleshooting a print issue for 2 weeks. I have two iMac desktops. I am trying to print to Lexmark_C782 printers via ethernet. I have selected the printers through System Preferences>Printers and Scanners. When adding the printers I select the "+" sign, select the printer on the default tab. iMac finds the correct print driver (which I have downloaded and installed). I then select ADD and the printer is loaded into the print queue. I send a print job to the printer and a few things happen; 1, the print job disappears and never prints and the print queue shows nothing in the queue. 2, I will send a print job to the printer and the printer will display a 900 or 900.43  RIP software error or 3, on occasion it has printed (very rare). This same thing happens when using IPP and LPD. At this writing, I am unable to add printers using IPP, where as before I could.  IPP doesn't find the printers. Apple is unable to find the printer. I can open the terminal window and ping the printer. I can open Safari and brtowse to the webpage of the printer.
    There has not been any changes to the computer.
    Computer iMac
    O/S X version 10.9.2
    Processor 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory 8GB
    Serial Number  D2*******8J3
    Toubleshooting steps
    1. Deactivated Appletalk on printers. I have read it is no longer supported, Apple uses bonjour
    2. I have downloaded and installed the Mac OSX print driver from Lexmark but found that wasn't the latest.
    3. I have made sure the latest print driver is installed. Version 11.2. Found that on the Apple website
    4. I have innstalled the printer via IPP, LPD and bojour
    5. I have 18 C782 printers
    6. I have a network at my office
         16 workstations
         The workstation i am working on is connected into a switch that is connected into another switch in the closet
         All C782 printers are in one physical location with static IP addresses.
         They are all connected into a 24 port switch which is then connected to another switch in a closet
         Both switches are connected via different CAT 5 cables to the same switch in the closet.
    7. I am trying to print from Adobe programs.
    8. With the exact same setup I am able to print successfully from Windows 7 to all printers without any type of errors
    All of the printers are  printing images, creative fonts on greeting cards (Adobe In Design, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc). Not sure if that matters but thought worth mentioning.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I talked to Adobe Support tonight and found this issue to be a known problem with some of the Adobe Cloud products when using older hardware, in this case the C782.
    So, we found a workaround. Unfortunately the work around isn’t efficient and adds more steps to their normal printing routine
    Open InDesign and create, modify delete the card
    Select FileàExport
    A window will appear. Pick the location you wish to save the file
    Once the File is saved another window will appear
    “EXPORT Adobe PDF”
    An Export to Adobe PDF window will appear. Accept all defaults. MAKE CERTAIN “VIEW PDF
    After EXPORTING” is CHECKED
    Select Export
    Once EXPORT is complete the file will open automatically in Adobe Acrobat
    Most likely the screen will be very large
    Select the + - sign at the top of the page to adjust the page size to view the image
    Select FileàPrint
    The Print window will appear
    Select the printer from the drop down
    # of COPIES is just below Printer
    Select OK
    I hope this helps anyone who is having similar issues
    Thanks

  • Printer driver hangs when printing with Office 2013/Windows 8 64 bit

    Printer: HP Color LaserJet CM1312nfi
    Printer Driver: V5.1 (up to date, downloaded from HP support website) or Generic V5.6
    OS: Windows 8 Professional 64bit
    When I try to print a certain Excel document with Excel 2013 and printer driver V5.1, the program hangs and needs to be terminated via task manager. This happens always with the same document, but not with all documents. The program hangs also when opening the print preview for the same document.
    The same document prints fine with the generic printer driver V5.6 and with the driver that comes with Windows 8.
    The same document prints fine with driver V5.1 under Windows 7 and Office 2010. The combination Windows 7/Office 2013 was not tested. The combination Windows 8/Office 2010 was also not tested.
    When I try to print an empty document with Word 2013 and generic printer driver V5.6, the program hangs and needs to be terminated via task manager.
    My conclusion is that the HP printer drivers have a problem with either Windows 8 or Office 2013 or a combination of both.
    The printer driver that comes with Windows 8 and is automatically installed is useful as a temporary workaround, but it lacks certain options, e.g. manual duplex.
    On request, I am ready to send the Excel document by e-mail for verification of the problem.
    Any help or suggestions will be very much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Uli
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    From what you describe you are having issues printing from MS Office. Have you had trouble printing from other resources on your computer (e.g. from the internet or another program)? The first thing I am going to suggest is that we start by uninstalling and reinstalling the printer from the resources available online. 
    First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it (this is important). Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer. 
    In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it.
