[req] lexmark drivers

hi to all,

what do you think about porting

http://www.lexmark.com/US/products/info … ad_v2.html

these drivers to arch?

i think building the packages would not be so difficult... download rpm use rpm2targz and install

do you think it's the right way?

bye bye

Re: [req] lexmark drivers

Rather by using rpmunpack.

rpmunpack < $startdir/src/z600llpddk-2.0-1.i386.rpm | gzip -d | cpio -idmuv

or similar codepieces for unpacking the rpm. You may want to use the install command to install the files into your $startdir/pkg directory, setting the appropriate file access rights.

Shouldn't cause too many problems, anyway, the drivers license and so on .. you know. If you have one of those printers, just try it.

But i'm glad to see lexmark finally supporting Linux, i've been waiting for a lexmark driver for more than a year, until i baught a samsung col. laserjet.
