    Read what is already written... everything you need to do is already explained earlier in this thread... i can't make it much simpler.

    You do not need to update cups. Cups is fine.
    The actual problem is the script that Lexmark use to check your cups version... it doesn't work correctly.
    Here is a summary of what you need to do to fix the cups error...

    * First (if you haven't done so already) you need to unzip the .zip file, which will give you a .sh file

    * Dump the contents of that .sh file to the "lexmark_install" folder

    * Modify the /lexmark_install/config/run.lua file

    * Run the startupinstaller.sh file as root

    Read my earlier posts for more details on how to do the above steps.
    And then if you are still stuck, explain your problem and I will try to help.

    I followed all of the directions from your first post and everything went well until I got to this part:

    "* Run the startupinstaller.sh file as root"

    But when I try to run sudo ./startupinstaller.sh, I get this Error message:
    "Lua error detected: While parsing install.lua: install.lua:118: Overflow detected: Not enough space for widget."

    thoughts on this ??

    Hmm... odd. I've got no idea why you'd get that error (and Google isn't any help either) :/

    This probably won't work, but you could give it a try:
    Copy your lexmark_install directory to the /tmp folder and then...
    Code:
    cd /tmp/lemark_install
    sudo ./startupinstaller.sh
    If that fails, you might be able to install the driver manually... I'm not sure...
    I'd need to do some experiments when I get some spare time.

    I upgraded to Karmic x86 and all my troubles went away. No more 64bit Hell for me.

    You're not beaten yet, I've found a solution that should work.
    Instead of relying on Lexmark's installation scripts, you can install the driver directly...

    Change directory to location of the Lexmark driver you downloaded, eg:
    Code:
    cd /tmp
    Extract the .zip file:
    Code:
    unzip 'lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh.zip'
    Dump the contents of the .sh file:
    Code:
    ./lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh --noexec --target lexmark_install
    Change directory to lexmark_install:
    Code:
    cd lexmark_install
    Extract the "instarchive_all" file (which is actually a "tar.lzma" file without the extension):
    Code:
    tar -xvvf instarchive_all --lzma
    And finally you can install the driver directly from the deb package:
    Code:
    sudo dpkg --install lexmark-inkjet-08-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb
    Plug in your printer and it should work for printing and scanning (sudo simple-scan).

    And finally you can install the driver from the deb package:

    nathan, when I try to do that, I get an error. It says:

    Error: Wrong architecture 'i386'

    I am going to assume this is because I am using the 64 bit system? Or is it because I am using 10.04 instead of the version talked about in the post?
