I had Lexmark z55 working with the earlier version of
PCLinuxOS, due to updating problems which was not
solved by anayone I installed PCLinuxOS 2009.4
The settings for getting the printer to work did not work.
Below the instructions I have used before.
1 : Download the Z55 Driver for Linux from the Lexmark Website
2 : Create the following directory temp_lex
3 : tar -xvf CJLZ55LE-CUPS-1.0-1.tar.gz
4 : tail -n +143 lexmarkz55-CUPS-1.0-1.gz.sh | gzip -cd | tar xvf - -C temp_lex
5 : cd temp_lex
6 : rpm -Uvh z55llpddk-2.0-2.i386.rpm lexmarkz55-CUPS-1.0-1.i386.rpm
7 : Install your Lexmark 5150 and from the driver list you should see a driver for a Z55.
I have tried to copy files to new lokations after using rpm -Uvh.
But nothing works.
Bekow listings of locations and as comparison what for example
epson require.
