load Lexmark printer driver

Asked by bjorn

I downloaded driver from Lexamer.com and when I doubleclick on the file it will start but then I am prompted to give root password.
I do not have this an I am stuck. How do I continue to load the driver. I do not know how to do in the terminal

run the item with sudo

if the file is on the desktop run:

cd ~/Desktop

then run:

sudo ./filename

You need to use the 'cd' command to move the directory the terminal is pointing at so it matches where you downloaded the file to.

You may need to run:

chmod +x ./filename

To make it executable, you ONLY need to do this if the command fails to execute using the command starting sudo.

Thanks, it worked to start load but I got the error "The installer has detected the operating system does not meet CUPS minimum version requirements. Please install CUPS version 1.2 or higher and run the installer again."
I checked and am running CUPS1.4.1.
How do I solve this as my load stopped

You may need to log a bug with the script as it is not detecting the CUPS version, either that or log a bug with CUPS
