hard time getting printer to work on debian :(

[kurrupt]

hey guys.. i have a Lexmark Z605 printer and iam trying to install the drivers for it.. the only drivers that the lexmark site or even driverguide.com gives is the stupid driver on the lexmark home page.. which is built for redhat 9

i tried to install them.. but it gives me this error
./xlexisntall: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl8.3.so: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory

but i know libtcl comes in tcl/tk.. which i have installed..

i dono anyone have any ideas where i can find other drivers? or if its possible to get this one working?

This printer looks to be a bit of a bastard to setup in linux... I found the following thread that might help you out though.

In the future, check out this page http://linuxprinting.org/suggested.html if you are thinking of buying a new printer I have setup a few epson printers in linux and they have always had great support, and so that is what I recommend to anyone who asks...

my epson worked great!

i liked it i hardly used it though.. and it ended up drying out or something
