How to Install Lexmark x6650 Driver (.sh.tar) file in Ubuntu 11.10

Question

When I connected my printer to my pc, he found drivers & installed them. I thought everything would work, but when I did a testpage, the pc acts likes he's doing the job great, but the printer didn't do anything. So I searched on www.lexmark.be & I found (I think) an additional download:

lexmark-08z-series-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh.tar-1.

Now it have to be extract, but I don't know where I have to do that. (I'm new in Linux!)

Answer 1

It is enclosed script (.sh.tar) File , so extract it , by Right-click and Extract option ,

Then simply double click the lexmark-08z-series-driver-1.0-1.i386.deb.sh file ,which will provide Options window where you should

click the "Run in Terminal" button or run the script file via command-line.

Further Follow the Instructions if any , asked by installer.

They have provided the Official instructions here. But it doesn't mentions Ubuntu 11.10 , which is currently your System, i guess it is Compiling so it will do.
