    Lexmark Interact S605

    I have downloaded this file and the installer keeps asking for password
    when I enter it keeps saying wrong.
    file:///home/floydsp/Downloads/lexmark-inkjet-09-driver-1.0-1.i386_ts.deb.sh
    this is for my 64 bit Kubuntu 10.04, can't find one for 64 bit

    This Lexmark Linux driver is for this model, but is specifically stated as being for Ubuntu 8.10 and Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. It might not work here in 10.04. But, you can try.

    Open a console and type:
    Code:
    sudo su -
    Provide your pasword. Then type:
    Code:
    sh /home/floydsp/Downloads/lexmark-inkjet-09-driver-1.0-1.i386_ts.deb.sh
    This is an executable script file installer, similar to what VMware uses these days.

    Assuming this driver will actually install, then when it finishes, type exit to return to your user prompt.

        The dpkg -i command has a --force-architecture option. If there is a .deb package inside that shell script (and from the name it appears there is), and if you can get the .deb package file alone, then it might install using dpkg -i and the --force-architecture option.

          There is no embedded .deb file in this archive. I opened it in Ark and extracted it. It creates a folder and in the folder is the single *.deb.sh script.

          I checked within the created folder, and there are no hidden files - just the single .deb.sh file. Looking at that file, I see at the top:

          label="nixstaller"
          script="sh"
          scriptargs="./startupinstaller.sh"
          targetdir="tmp"
          filesizes="29156551"
          keep=n
          This extra script doesn't exist; not in the extract folder or anywhere else on my system. Maybe it isn't actually required - it is identified as a script argument (scriptargs), but ...

            Thanks for all the help on this..What really gets me I had it
            installed on an earlier 10.04..It also gave me the wrong password
            but I did something to get it installed but don't remember what

              As of yet Lexmark dooesn't have a 64 bit driver but there is a workaround. See this article http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...rk_linux&num=4
