@ I.Pereira
Can you provide me with any error messages you get so I can take a look at what is going on

@Cecil
The download should go into the lexmark folder you created. The command before you download the drivers asks you to switch to the lexmark folder and then run the wget command.

What happens when you try downloading the driver?

Can you help me please.

Sorry the poor english

@martinrnelson, I am also using kUbuntu. try looking through all the menu’s to find something, that is what I had to do.

also, my understanding is that the only difference between kUbuntu and Ubuntu is what software comes bundled, and the desktop environment(kde). not really a big programming change.

@martinrnelson
This tutorial was written for Ubuntu and not the KUbuntu version. I don’t use KUbuntu so not sure off the top of my head why this would cause a problem. I will try and grab some time to try and set this up under the KUbuntu version but please don’t hold your breath, I am snowed under at present and have not even posted here for a while.

Apologies to all for the late responses.

I recently wiped my machine and did a fresh install of Heron. I am yet to put citrix back on here but I will give your method a shot and update my procedures where necessary

Thank you for sharing

I did all the updates at the top, then visited my work’s citrix (4.5 servers) web logon page and on the bottom right there were links for ICA client 10 linux x86 and Arm.

I clicked the x86 one and it saved to my desktop. I double clicked on the box icon (tar.gz) and it opened in a packaging window. I hit extract, and it spilled its guts onto my desktop.

I double clicked the “setupwfc” and chose the “Run in Terminal” button. In a small black window it asked me a series of simple questions, like:
“Do you want to install or exit?”
“Do you agree to that we own this code?”
“Do you want to install it in the default location?”
“Do you want to integrate with KDE and Gnome?”

It installed, and then offered the “install or exit” choice again and I exited.

I then logged into our citrix web site and clicked on the application I wanted to access, and it worked perfectly, just as smoothly and almost as easily as a fresh windows setup. Didn’t have to install any extra packages, reboot the box or the Firefox, or even sudo my password (it installed into my user folder, just for that account).

Hella nice new client Citrix!

I had tried many other instructions and yours is the only one that worked.

I’m installing a Lexmark X1150 on kubuntu 8.04. All the steps above seem to work (I get the correct output at the last step), but when I go to select the driver I get the error:

Wrong driver format.
/usr/lib/cups/backend/z600(line 1): syntax error, unexpected OPTION

I’m selecting this via System Settings > Printers > Admin Mode > Change Driver…

(also the manufacturer and model list are blank here, despite the printer itself being visible).

Any ideas?

Once again thank you so much for adding your comments here. I have yet to install the client on Heron, have not had the time yet.

I will write up a new tutorial for Hardy Heron using your comments as a starting place. If you drop me your website/email address I will make sure you get credited for your input.

I will look into the certificate issue when I do my install, I will post my findings in the new tute.

Thanks again

The libxaw6 package is no longer required.

Hardy’s default browser is Firefox 3. The plugin location has changed yet again (at least for me). So the second link is now:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/ICAClient/npica.so /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins/npica.so


I tried starting the client without the Thawte certificate. I still get this error message:

You have not chosen to trust "Thawte Premium Server CA", the issuer of the server's security certificate (SSL error 61).


I suppose it depends on your server configuration. If you Google, you’ll find that others have similar problems.

Although I followed the drive mapping directions again this time. Drive mapping is not working for me. I will update when I get it working.

Once again, thanks for the installation guide.

it just spits this back:
Cannot write to current directory. Try moving to /tmp and re-running alien.

does anyone know what to do in this scenario?

Sorry to hear you are having trouble. Unfortunately this tutorial is not as advanced as network printing. I have a set up for network printing using a very basic printer, but the All In One is somewhat difficult to get working.

I will post a tutorial on how to do it once I finish getting it working, but please don’t wait on me, it could be some time before I get round to actually changing over.

The printer just sets the page and and then nothing.

Thank you for updating me with the info that worked for you. I will admit that I wrote this primarily for Feisty, and all worked after upgrading to Gutsy, with a work colleague also implying that it worked without issue.

I will take your comments on board and probably write a separate tutorial for Gutsy after testing it.

As for the root certificate, I have never come across that nor would I like to advocate anyone getting it until it is verified. I will take a look and post my findings here in the comments. This of course does not stop anyone using it, I would just like to check it out for myself.

When I tried to start the client, I got an error about “You have chosen not to trust…” The solution to that was to go here: http://www.thawte.com/roots/ and download their root certificates. The one I needed was ThawtePremiumServerCA.cer. After unzipping the supplied certificates, I copied the one I wanted to
/usr/lib/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts renaming it to ThawtePremiumServerCA.crt along the way.

In SLED10 SP1, I had to edit .ICAClient/wfclient.ini to tell it about the new certificate, but in Ubuntu I didn’t. Also, in Gutsy, the client opened automatically without having to chose wfica.

Thank you - I will update that immediately. I missed it myself as I already had it installed.

That command as you put it should be separate commands rather than one lump. If you follow the tutorial again from the beginning everything should work fine.

If you have any other issues just ask.

I left that out of the tutorial as the scope was a little advanced for what I intended.

Thank you for posting your comment and letting the others know what you had to do. I did not have to worry myself as I installed it for other reasons, but did and have come across it when setting this printer up for other people.

cd lexmark wget http://www.downloaddelivery.com/srfilecache/CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz tar -xvzf CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz tail -n +143 z600cups-1.0-1.gz.sh > install.tar.gz tar -xvzf install.tar.gz sudo apt-get install alien alien -t z600cups-1.0-1.i386.rpm alien -t z600llpddk-2.0-1.i386.rpm sudo tar xvzf z600llpddk-2.0.tgz sudo tar xvzf z600cups-1.0.tgz

I looked into my directory the file lexmark in the Home Folder, and I did not find anything in it.
What must I do??
Thanks

Thank you for spotting that. I have now updated the post to remove that little dot.

Many thanks

Thanks,
Mike

Follow the tutorial step by step and you will soon be up and running.

I spend a long time on colour schemes. I know what shades I want, but I can never get the colours right.

Borntwisted had another cool idea some time ago, about using graded palettes. The graded palette consists of 22 shades, including black, white and the original colour. The original colour sits on the bottom layer, and all the shades sit above, efectivley giving you 19 new colours to chosse from.

Simple yet effective design tips from Borntwisted, yet again makes my life easier, as if I am not told, I usually take the long path to achieve the same effects.
