Scanning a document using your Lexmark printer requires the Lexmark OCR scan software installed on your computer. You can download the scan software using only the installation disc that came with your printer. Lexmark OCR scan software is not available for download. If you lost your Lexmark installation disc, please contact Lexmark Technical Support Center for additional assistance.
I too have a Lexmark 5150 so here's what I did btw I am using Fedora 6 and I have installed cups and using the frontend interface localhost:631
1 : Download the Z55 Driver for Linux from the Lexmark Website 2 : Create the following directory temp_lex 3 : tar -xvf CJLZ55LE-CUPS-1.0-1.tar.gz 4 : tail -n +143 lexmarkz55-CUPS-1.0-1.gz.sh | gzip -cd | tar xvf - -C temp_lex 5 : cd temp_lex 6 : rpm -Uvh z55llpddk-2.0-2.i386.rpm lexmarkz55-CUPS-1.0-1.i386.rpm 7 : Install your Lexmark 5150 and from the driver list you should see a driver for a Z55.
unplug the printer from the computer. turn off the printer.
install the printer software on the computer. if you already install the software, then restart the computer.
turn on the printer and connected the printer to the computer.
If you could tell me your operating system I will be happy to provide a link for the software you need. Also let me know if it's a Z55 or if there are any letters after that. Thanks.
