Comment on Installing a Dell 720 Printer In Ubuntu Linux – Updated! by Eric Eaton

Real noobie from WinWhatever.

Please help.

I have tried several attempts to install a Dell 720. I running Ubuntu 9.10 on a Sony Vaio VGN-TZ191N.

While following the above instructions, I received several “could not find file” type messages. As a guess, I tried to copy the un-tarred files from the desktop to the user folder with my name on it. There seemed to be some initial success, but then more “could not find” errors.

If it is just a matter of learning what to heck to do in Ubuntu, then perhaps I will continue reading instructive materials on the OS. However, if there is something clearly I am missing, please explain.

Thank you,
Eric

This obviously only works for 32-bit userland – if you need 64-bit support, you’re going to have to look elsewhere.

Very Good Tutorial. Thanks for posting.
I had to use Synaptic Package Manager to install Alien first, as Ubuntu’s Application Add/Remove couldn’t find it. Also, the driver link above didn’t work for me, I used this one:
http://support.lexmark.com/index?page=downloadFile&actp=CONTENT&productCode=&id=DR15809&segment=DOWNLOAD&userlocale=EN_US&locale=en

Additionally, Lexmark renamed the package files so Step 5 should be:

5. Now we have the files as .deb, which we can install on Ubuntu
1. sudo dpkg -i z600llpddk_2.0-1_i386.deb
2. sudo dpkg -i z600cups_1.0-1_i386.deb

Thanks Again.

Oh, you’ll also have to add the printer using the CUPS frontend
http://localhost:631
in order to select the right driver (at least I did).

Works on Jaunty, but you need to install libstdc++5 as well.
