If you have to use this driver then be warned that the installation
procedure is terrible.  You need a full development environment (gcc,
etc).  You'll also need to install tcl-devel and tk-devel.

Quick summary:
$ tar xzf CJLZ65LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.GZ -C /tmp
$ su -
# cd /tmp/CJLZ65LE-CUPS-1.0-1
# yum install tcl-devel tk-devel
# ./lexmarkz65-CUPS-1.0-1.gz.sh


At that point the installer appears to be working correctly.  It informs
me that I have no z65 printer attached.  With luck someone who does have
a z65 attached will be able to continue.


(Personally, I would consider smashing the printer into tiny pieces,
mailing the pieces to Lexmark one by one, and buying a cheap HP
printer.  However I understand that's not feasible in many cases...)
