Lexmark Z22-Z32 desktop inkjet printer installation problem under solaris8
Hello There,

I have problem with installing my printer in solaris8, i have Lexmark Z22-Z32 series inkjet printer and i download its driver for solaris from the internet.

I got driver file like that... drivers-linux-glibc2-x86.tar.gz

first i copy this on my temporary folder and use these commands to unzip and un tar this file.

Code:
Step 1. gzip -d drivers-linux-glibc2-x86.tar.gz

it took the .gz extension from this file and leave file as 

drivers-linux-glibc2-x86.tar

Now i use tar xvf command to un tar this as

Step 2. tar xvf drivers-linux-glibc2-x86.tar 

it gave me these files

x drivers-linux-glibc2-x86   0 bytes  0 tape block

x drivers-linux-glibc2-x86/drivers-MVfonts-4.7-1.i386.rpm 146846 bytes

x drivers-linux-glibc2-x86/drivers-MVprint-4.7-1.i386.rpm 3902121 bytes

Now i donot know how to use pkgadd command to add printer, which one of these has package, i tried all of these and could not get anything.

would you please help me.?

Regards

Abid Malik

Did you get the right package? Seems like it's for Linux because of its RPM format.

And the filename says it's for linux-glibc ...

That's probably the poblem - RPM is Redhat Package Manager, and although it's being used on systems other than Linux, I don't think it's available for Solaris.

And the glibc-linux stuff has to do with the fact that it was compiled against the GNU C library version 2.

So I think it's fairly safe to say it won't do you any good as-is...

Try picking Solaris x86 7 instead of 8. There seems to be a glitch in Lexmark's system where it keeps going back to Linux.

After trying to get the correct file a few times, I finally changed it to 7 and got:
