Dell photo printer 720 driver how to#
When I first started I really had no idea how to get my printer going.Īfter saying that, I want to offer a little more help to anyone trying to do this. You will find the driver under lexmark as the z600-1.01 or something similar to that.Ĭongrats now you got that pesky printer running under linux!:Dįirst of all, I would like to thank you for posting this walk-through. First install the pddk (Printer development kit) then install the CUPS driver.Īfterwords if your in gnome, go into System>Administration>Printing and add your printer. deb packages in the folder you downloaded everything in. Once you have ran them through alien, you will find nice little. Once alien is installed we being the converting, ignore any messages about scripts not being converted, we dont need those.
