Dell A920 aka Lexmark x1150

I'm splitting this discussion from the Lexmark Z600 Series Setup which is apparently the same printer as this multipurpose device has in it. That discussion references the Lexmark Z25 or Z35 printer setup thread. Both are excellent sources of information and I thought I'd split it off and bring the more specific A920/x1150 discussion here.

Drivers for the Z600 (our printer) can be found at http://www.downloaddelivery.com/srfilecache/CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz

There are another set of instructions at http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?threadid=108534 that also seem to be very good for the printing side of things, but they are for RH9 and those silly RPM distros. I'm wondering what level of success others have managed? I'm still having trouble unpacking the drivers using wdreinhart's instructions.

With the command ./z600cups-1.0-1.gz.sh -keep, I get the error:

I removed the embedded script with nano -w, making sure to leave no spaces, and it worked fine. Make sure you left no spaces, then run tar -xvzf, and it should work fine. It did for me.

Sorry, that was a typo on my part. I double-checked though to be sure. :-)

Good catch.
