In fact, it will not even install!
Great quality control these kiddies have.
Yet another reason why Linux sucks!
For those who doubt here is the output.

linux:/CJLZ65LE-CUPS-1.0-1 # ls
. .. COPYING lexmarkz65-CUPS-1.0-1.gz.sh README
linux:/CJLZ65LE-CUPS-1.0-1 # sh lexmarkz65-CUPS-1.0-1.gz.sh
Verifying archive integrity...OK
Uncompressing Lexmark Printer Driver............
./install: line 15: ./xlexinstall: No such file or directory
The program returned an error code (127)
linux:/CJLZ65LE-CUPS-1.0-1 #

Yes, another quality Linux program written in spare time and obviously never tested.
BTW why do they bury the readme file in the archive?
What if the user doesn't know how to unarchive it?
FWIW the archive program in suse died on it so I had to use command line
tar xvfz foo
It's just another example of why Linux sucks.
Oh, I also tried another 2 downloads just in case something got corrupted.
