- Get the Linux driver package from the Lexmark site: click here to start the download
- Follow the instructions here. As per those instructions, you will have to restart CUPS after the driver is installed; otherwise, the printer driver won’t appear in the config options when you go to set it up. To restart CUPS, type at the command prompt:
/etc/init.d/cupsys restart
- If you want to have commands like ‘lpr’ work through CUPS (printing from Mozilla seems to require it, or is at least simpler), install the Debian package cupsys-bsd by typing at the command prompt:
apt-get install cupsys-bsd
That’s all it took for me, YMMV. If you are only using the black cartridge, not the color or both, see the README that came with the Linux driver package. You can change the relevant option with the CUPS browser interface.

Bush and the Republicans were not protecting us on 9-11, and we aren’t a lot safer now. We may be more afraid due to george bush, but are we safer? Being fearful does not necessarily make one safer. Fear can cause people to hide and cower. What do you think? What is he doing to us, and what is he doing to the world?
Our country is in debt until forever, we don’t have jobs, and we live in fear. We have invaded a country and been responsible for thousands of deaths.
The more people that the government puts in jails, the safer we are told to think we are. The real terrorists are wherever they are, but they aren’t living in a country with bars on the windows. We are.
