Please don't bump your own threads after 20 minutes. Impatience isn't going to solve your problem.

I'm not sure that I understand correctly, but why don't you look at the wiki for installing packages from the AUR:

Re: Lexmark Z600 driver...

I've solved my problem.
Here is guide:

1. Download package here
2. Download packages by typing:

$ pacman -S kdemod-kdeadmin-system-config-printer
$ pacman -S rpmunpack

3.Type:

$ tar -xvzf CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz
$ tail -n +143 z600cups-1.0-1.gz.sh > install.tar.gz
$ tar -xvzf install.tar.gz

4. Then unpack rpm packages...

 $ rpmunpack z600llpddk-2.0-1.i386.rpm
$ rpmunpack z600cups-1.0-1.i386.rpm

5. Unzip packages:

$ zcat z600cups-1.0-1.cpio.gz | cpio -idv
$ zcat z600llpddk-2.0-1.cpio.gz | cpio -idv

6. Run:

$ /etc/rc.d/cups start

and add it to your daemons in /etc/rc.conf
7. Then you must replace whole content of ~/usr/lib(without folder cups) to /usr/lib, then ~/usr/lib/cups/z600 to /usr/lib/cups/z600, et cetera.
8. CD to /usr/share/cups/model and type:

sudo gunzip Lexmark-Z600-lxz600cj-cups.ppd.gz

9. Go to http://localhost:631
10. Click Administration (if asks for username and password, use root's username and password)
11. Click Find Printer
12. If asks, provide the PPD file in /usr/share/cups/model
13. You're ready to go!

Step 7 is little confusing, I will describe later what do you need to do.
