Extracting file: printdriver.te

Extracting file: lexmark-08z-series-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb

Extracting file: launcher.c

Extracting file: launcher

Extracting file: lsbrowser

Extracting file: lsusbdevice

Using dpkg installation

=============================

Execute: dpkg -i --force-architecture lexmark-08z-series-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb > /tmp/selfgz11978/pkg/files/dpkg_msgs



dpkg: error processing lexmark-08z-series-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb (--install):

 parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/control' near line 9 package 'lexmark-08z-series-driver':

Errors were encountered while processing:

=============================

This is my solution with Lexmark x4650 driver. Adjust to your needs.

Please execute the commands one by one:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs xz-lzma

wget http://downloads.lexmark.com/downloads/cpd/lexmark-08z-series-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh.tar.gz -O lexmark-08z-series-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh.tar.gz

tar xzvf lexmark-08z-series-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh.tar.gz

./lexmark-08z-series-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh --noexec --target lexmark

cd lexmark

tar xJvf instarchive_all

dpkg-deb -I lexmark-08z-series-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb

mkdir raw-lexmark-archive

dpkg-deb --raw-extract lexmark-08z-series-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb raw-lexmark-archive

sed -i "/^ $/d" raw-lexmark-archive/DEBIAN/control

cat raw-lexmark-archive/DEBIAN/control

dpkg-deb -b ./raw-lexmark-archive fixed-lexmark-08z-series-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb

sudo dpkg -i fixed-lexmark-08z-series-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb

To remove the package run:

sudo dpkg -P lexmark-08z-series-driver:i386

all works, but when you go to add the ppd files, it's in /home/lexmark/raw-lexmark-archive/usr/local/lexmark/08zero/ect

For the x4650, choose lx36-46.ppd
