If you look closely at my post, you'll see the word "here" is a hyperlink. Click on it to go to the web page with instructions.

PS. This topic is in the wrong sub-forum really - perhaps one of the moderators could move it?

Re: How to install lexmark x2670 driver

After installing unp (which I see that you did), you then need to do the wget command, which it looks like you skipped over... I suspect that is the reason that you got all those errors.

The correct sub-forum for this query would be "Kubuntu 11.10 Oneiric Ocelot -> Hardware Support", but I believe that only a forum moderator can move this topic.

This is the same as ubuntu?

Almost the same... I like to think of them as being like pizzas; they have the same base, but different toppings. Ubuntu uses Gnome, Kubuntu uses KDE.

what should i do with wget? or with what i should type it?

Re: How to install lexmark x2670 driver

what should i do with wget? or with what i should type it?

It was in the list of instructions on the page that I linked to.

cd $HOME
sudo apt-get -y install unp
wget http://downloads.lexmark.com/downloa...386.deb.sh.zip
unp ./lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh.zip
rm ./lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh.zip
sudo ./lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh

In your earlier post where you showed what you saw in your terminal, I see the 2nd command of the instruction list:

sudo apt-get -y install unp

Which was successful. The next command I see is the 4th command:

unp ./lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh.zip
Cannot read ./lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh.zip, skipping...
WARNING: There were errors while processing files!

I don't see the 3rd command (the wget command).

If you have already downloaded the driver file, then you must cd to the directory the file is saved in, and enter only the 4th, 5th and 6th commands from the list of instructions.

But when the installer run it's still saying to connect the printer via usb. I recieved an email from lexmark support that I would like you to see. Is there is something else that we can do I would be please, but, this email...doesn't give me hope. You see:

Dear Angel,

Thank you for contacting Lexmark e-Support regarding your X2670. With the release of the 11.10 Ubuntu and Kubuntu Linux OS, there have been many challenges with the Linux driver support even with our newer models. I understand and appreciate your desire for Linux drivers. Unfortunately, we don't have support for 11.10 OS for your printer. Here is the list of supported Operating Systems: Debian GNU/Linux 4.0, Debian GNU/Linux 5.0, Ubuntu 8.04 LTS that you may look up from our website. Here is the link :

http://support.lexmark.com/index?loc...rompage=null#2

If you have any more questions or concerns, please reply and reference Lexmark Service Request Number 1-7568295981 and we will be happy to assist you.

You may also call our technical support at 1-800-539-6275 or 1-800-332-4120, Mondays through Fridays, 8am-11pm EST and Saturday and Sunday, 11am-8pm EST; Chat support (www.lexmark.com), Monday through Friday, 8am-11pm EST and Saturday, 11am-8pm EST.

I really appreciate your time and help, really. Like I said, is there something else that we can try please let me know. If not, please tell me a brand printer with scanner that I can buy that it will work good with ubuntu oneiric and it will be easy to install.

Re: How to install lexmark x2670 driver

Hmm... unfortunately, I don't have much idea of what else you could try to make the Lexmark work.

If you decide to buy a replacement printer that should "just work" in Linux, I would recommend something made by HP, as they have excellent Linux support. Usually, you don't even need to install a driver for them.

Re: How to install lexmark x2670 driver

Thanks man. I really appreciate it. In fact you tell me a lot of things I didn't know and help me a lot. Once again, thank you for your time. Have a doog day. God bless you.

The model number Lexmark X2670 does not seem to be correct.

Method 1:
You may refer to the below links and use the troubleshooters. Check if it lists and helps resolve any issues: Open the Printer troubleshooter:
http://support.lexmark.com

Method 2:
You may check if you have the latest drivers installed for the device. You may refer to the below link for getting the latest drivers and check
Lexmark X2670 Driver

Good Luck.
