Sorry for the question, but I’m at wits end when it comes to trying to install a Lexmark Z600 printer that I have. I have searched the web extensively and found a driver, and even tried to install it. This is what I did, so if anyone can tell me where I went wrong, and how to fix it or finish installing it, it would be greatly appreciated.
I found the CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz (which to my understanding is what I need to install the drivers for my printer). After finding it, I went into the terminal and did this:
trailsnail@linux-084j:~> cd /home/trailsnail/Programs
trailsnail@linux-084j:~/Programs> wget CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz

As you can see, I did make some mistakes. I am still trying to get familiar with terminal commands. After everything was said and done, I went into Yast (install software) and made sure that both z600cups-1.0-1.i386.rpm and z600llpddk-2.0-1.i386.rpm were installed. Next I went into configure printers, and found the
file Lexmark-Z600-lxz600cj-cups.ppd.gz which was located in /usr/share/cups/model and tried to install it but it didn’t work. Could someone please tell me what I did wrong?
P.S. I got the commands above from the terminal here: HCL:Printers - openSUSE
I know it says Z602, but I figured it’d do.
