Financial System Review Act
Government Orders
10:50 a.m.
Matthew Dubé Chambly—Borduas, QC
Madam Speaker, I have a very important question for my colleague.
I know that he is going to join the Standing Committee on Finance; perhaps he already has. I would like him to comment on the importance of studying this bill carefully. We all, particularly the members on this side of the House, know how important it is to have strict laws for our banking system. We also know that these are very complicated issues.
I would like my colleague to comment further on the importance of studying this bill carefully to ensure that we understand all of its complexities and are able to develop appropriate regulations.
Financial System Review Act
Government Orders
10:55 a.m.
Robert Chisholm Dartmouth—Cole Harbour, NS
Madam Speaker, the member said that it was a relevant question. I agree with him and just hope that I can provide a reasonably relevant answer.
The role of the finance committee is very important and always has been. I have not sat on that particular committee before, but I have certainly been involved at other levels of government on a committee such as the Standing Committee on Finance. I am very excited about participating on it, particularly as it relates to Bill S-5, because that committee needs to bring forward experts to talk to us about the consumer protections advertised in the bill. I say so because I do not think the way the government has gone about its consultations to date has given consumer protection advocates the opportunity to have input into this process.
At our committee, as we go through the bill item by item, we will have an opportunity to invite those experts who are out there in the field, from credit unions and consumer advocacy groups, to come in and share with us information that will help us make the bill the best piece of legislation it can be in order to get the support of members of the House.
Financial System Review Act
Government Orders
10:55 a.m.
John Carmichael Don Valley West, ON
Madam Speaker, as we hear from the parties opposite, everyone wants to take credit for our current success with our banking system and financial institutions. Certainly, the Canadian system is sound and strong and has survived the last several years of difficult economic times in a way that organizations around the world have recognized.
I commend the member for his appointment to the finance committee, and I wonder if he could speak to some of concerns about regulation, which he recognized were technical in nature and needed to be simplified, but specifically in terms of consumer protection. I wonder if he could go a little deeper and address some specific issues that are of concern to him.
Financial System Review Act
Government Orders
10:55 a.m.
Robert Chisholm Dartmouth—Cole Harbour, NS
Madam Speaker, in my remarks I tried to address where we needed to focus some attention, and that was in regard to consumer protection.
I underlined how financial institutions are continuing to gouge their clients with increases in user fees and banking charges. We pay a charge for putting money in, we pay a charge for pulling it out, and we pay a charge for thinking about doing either of the two. I think I pay a charge every time I take my credit card out of my wallet, without even using it. It is that kind of foolishness we have to get a handle on.
We have talked about the need to address fees and interest rates that are being charged on credit cards. There is an opportunity to do that in this bill, an opportunity that the government has so far avoided. We will work at committee to try to deal with that so we can finally bring in some protection of credit card holders to stop the abuse they are receiving from financial institutions.
Quebec Ice Wine
Statements By Members
10:55 a.m.
André Bellavance Richmond—Arthabaska, QC
Madam Speaker, once again, the federal government is creating obstacles for agricultural producers from Quebec, with standards that penalize them and favour their counterparts from other provinces. Without bothering to notify stakeholders or the Quebec Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Agri-Food, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency declared that the Quebec method of producing ice wine prohibits Quebec wineries from using the "ice wine" appellation. Yet, this method, which is used because of the climate, is recognized by the Government of Quebec and the International Organization of Vine and Wine.
Representatives of the Quebec Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Agri-Food confirmed In La Presse that this method in no way affects the quality of the product, as demonstrated by the international awards Quebec ice wines have won recently. The 70 or so vineyards in Quebec are not second-class vineyards. The Canadian government must recognize their method and let consumers judge the quality of the best ice wine in Canada: Quebec ice wine.
Lieutenant Governor's Winter Festival
Statements By Members
February 3rd, 2012 / 11 a.m.
Merv Tweed Brandon—Souris, MB
Madam Speaker, this weekend Brandon will celebrate the ninth annual Lieutenant Governor's Winter Festival. This festival is a multicultural celebration of all that the great constituency of Brandon—Souris has to offer. The cultures represented at the festival this year include Brazil, Colombia, El Salvador, English, first nations, French Canadian, German, Irish, Métis, Scottish and Ukrainian and for the first time the festival will feature pavilions for Mauritius and the U.S.A.
Last year, 60,000 visitors attended Winterfest and the organizing committee is expecting even more this year.
I want to congratulate the committee and the many volunteers who make it such an outstanding event. I wish to recognize the executive of this year's festival: Esther Bryan, Hope Roberts, Nick Vandale, Charlotte Tosch, Dorothy McHarg, Walter Gibbons and Elaine Arvisais. Without these dedicated individuals and many other volunteers, this event would not be possible.
Brandon—Souris is well-known for its hospitality and amazing community spirit. Our government is proud to support the Winterfest. I invite all Canadians to hop on a plane, train or automobile to come to Brandon for Winterfest.
Natural Resources
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Kennedy Stewart Burnaby—Douglas, BC
Madam Speaker, last year the NDP brought forward a motion to study refineries and oil pipelines to which the Conservatives agreed. So far the testimony has been deeply disturbing.
According to government statistics, since 1980 the number of refineries operating in Canada has declined by over 60%, from 39 refineries to 15 refineries. If this trend of losing one refinery per year continues, there may not be a single refinery operating in Canada by 2030. This puts Canada in an absurd position. We will be shipping our crude oil out to China and the U.S. and then buying it back as gasoline. This is softwood lumber on steroids.
I am proud to say that New Democrats are developing a comprehensive energy strategy that will put Canadian value-added jobs first. I call on the Conservatives to work with us on this.
Firearms Registry
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Bob Zimmer Prince George—Peace River, BC
Madam Speaker, during our winter break I had the opportunity to meet with the North Peace Rod and Gun Club to reiterate our government's commitment to ending the long gun registry. For far too long law-abiding farmers and hunters in my riding have been made to feel like criminals for simply owning a rifle or a shotgun.
Next week will begin the final stages of ending the wasteful and ineffective long gun registry once and for all, fulfilling a long-standing commitment our government has made to law-abiding Canadians like the members of the North Peace Rod and Gun Club. By eliminating the long gun registry, we can focus our efforts on more effective ways to tackle crime and protect families and communities. Since it was created, the long gun registry has cost literally billions of dollars. This money should be used to crack down on the real criminals, not law-abiding Canadians.
Canada's Worst Driver
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Rodger Cuzner Cape Breton—Canso, NS
Madam Speaker, I have risen in the House many times to pay tribute to constituents from my riding of Cape Breton—Canso. I have congratulated Grammy Award winners, Giller Prize winners, star athletes, political figures and humanitarians, but today I must recognize a resident who has achieved some truly unique distinction.
Last month, Shirley Sampson, from Port Caledonia, was named Canada's worst driver. Shirley was chosen from almost 1,000 Canadians who auditioned for the show and when the competition was over, it was clear that Shirley Sampson is Canada's worst driver. Shirley's daughter Janis had nominated her mother, noting that her biggest issues were backing up, using mirrors and also had problems with rotaries and intersections.
The show offers professional coaching to the contestants. Although the host often tells the winners they should never drive again, Shirley got the green light to stay on the road.
I offer my congratulations to Shirley on this dubious distinction. For the residents of Cape Breton—Canso, I offer this warning: "Heads up if you see Shirley coming".
Digital Economy
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Gary Schellenberger Perth—Wellington, ON
Madam Speaker, Canadians gave our government a strong mandate to stay focused on what matters: creating jobs and economic growth. Part of this plan involves creating jobs in Canada's digital economy.
I am very proud today to announce that soon the University of Waterloo Stratford Campus will expand its master of digital experience innovation program to allow a part-time option for those students who must continue working, while they strive to upgrade their education. Not only is this program strengthening Canada's digital economy, it has helped Stratford to receive the recent honourable distinction as one of the top seven intelligent communities in the world.
I am very proud of all who have helped make this campus a reality. The expansion of this masters program at the University of Waterloo Stratford Campus is good news for Canada's digital economy at home and Stratford's recognition around the world.
High-Speed Internet
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Ruth Ellen Brosseau Berthier—Maskinongé, QC
Madam Speaker, from coast to coast to coast, many regions still do not have access to competitive high-speed Internet service. In Quebec, the people of Berthier—Maskinongé are no exception. Following a meeting between elected officials and the people of my riding, I decided it was time to take action. Although we know that the Internet is an essential tool for communication in 2012, the infrastructure to provide such service in rural areas remains inadequate.
Marjolaine Cloutier, from Saint-Justin, pays $140 a month for high-speed service, but gets mediocre-speed service instead, despite the broadband Canada program. For well-established telecommunications companies, connecting the remote regions is not always profitable. The status quo keeps their basic service profitable. It is time for high-speed Internet to be accessible and affordable to all Canadian families.
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Deepak Obhrai Calgary East, AB
Madam Speaker, first, I wish the residents of Calgary East a happy new year.
My riding, as others across the country, represents the Canadian multicultural mosaic. It is home to people of the first nations, English, French, Germans, Italians, Ukrainians, Fijians, South Asians, Middle Easterners, Vietnamese, Filipinos and most recently from the continent of Africa. All these people from different cultural and religious backgrounds live and work side by side in all neighbourhoods. Their priorities are the same: stable jobs, safe streets and good schools, so they can live peacefully and raise their children. Seniors want to retire peacefully.
My riding sends a strong message to the world that those who endorse a doctrine of hatred toward others will not succeed. I am proud to represent the good folks of Calgary East.
Child Pornography
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Joy Smith Kildonan—St. Paul, MB
Madam Speaker, yesterday law enforcement in Ontario announced the outcome of a province-wide child pornography investigation that resulted in 213 charges being laid against 60 individuals, including sexual assault, child luring, possession, distribution and creation of child pornography. Most important, 22 child victims were rescued and are now receiving care.
Our government has taken leadership in combatting online child exploitation by increasing penalties for child pornography and creating new offences that hold predators accountable.
I want to commend the Ontario Provincial Police Child Sexual Exploitation Section and the 23 law enforcement agencies involved in this investigation for their dedication and commitment to tracking down these predators. These investigations are long and complex and exert significant emotional and physical tolls on the officers involved.
As a nation, it is incumbent on each of us to support efforts that protect children, hold predators accountable and restore rescued victims.
Quebec Winter Carnival
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Annick Papillon Québec, QC
Madam Speaker, the Quebec Winter Carnival is showing off its colours until February 12. This is the 58th edition of the largest winter carnival in the world. This festival provides an ideal opportunity to discover or rediscover the charms of Quebec City whose heritage is unique in North America. Every year, Bonhomme Carnaval warmly welcomes more than a million visitors who participate in hundreds of activities. Whether you attend the legendary night parade or the canoe race on the St. Lawrence River or visit Place de la famille on the Plains of Abraham, you will be entertained.
The carnival was established by the business community and today is a symbol of success that brings $30 million into Quebec City's economy. I invite everyone, young and old, to the heart of my riding, Québec, to celebrate with me in the coming days. I once worked for the Quebec Winter Carnival and I would like to personally salute and thank all the organizers of this major festival as well as the many volunteers.
Thank you everyone. Come and enjoy the carnival.
Rusk Family and Donald McNamee
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
Ryan Leef Yukon, YT
Madam Speaker, I rise today on a sad occasion. A Yukon family, Brad and Valerie Rusk, their children, Gabriel and Rebekah, as well as their friend, Donald McNamee were all found dead in their home last Sunday. Officials say that carbon monoxide is likely to blame. When firefighters arrived at their home, carbon monoxide levels were 10 times the amount that would be picked up by a standard home alarm. Therefore, I encourage all Canadians to ensure they have a carbon monoxide detector in their home.
This is a tragic accident that is tough for any size of community and especially hard for a town as small and as close-knit as Whitehorse. This sad event reaches across territorial boundaries as the family and close friends who live in other provinces head north to say goodbye to their beloved family.
For the family and close friends, especially the schoolmates of Gabriel and Rebekah, our thoughts are with them. For the emergency services workers whose duty in times like this is both harrowing and emotional, we thank them for their courage and professionalism under the most heartbreaking of circumstances.

Newport Rhode Island
Priscilla's of Boston
Hotel Outdoor
Orange Red Yellow
Rhode Island might be the littlest state in the land, but I would like to argue that it's one of the prettiest too. With miles and miles of gorgeous New England coastline, and charm that seems to govern the wee state – when I see a wedding hosted in sweet Rhody, my eyes light up. And when that wedding is captured by Mandy Mayberry Photography, I put everything aside so I can bask in the beauty. There is so much pretty to take in from the drool-worthy florals from Petal Pushers to the stunning Newport views, and it's all waiting for you right here.
From Mandy Mayberry Photography… Ariel and Ian were married at the Beavertail Lighthouse in Jamestown, Rhode Island. It was a beautiful, pre-sunset fall wedding with oranges, deep reds, and panoramic views of Narragansett Bay. Ian is very Scottish and surprised his father with a bagpiper for the ceremony, to which was met with tears of joy! Their reception was held at the prestigious and historic Hotel Viking in Newport, RI where they treated their guests to exquisite vintage wines and scotches.

Fire damages historic building in heart of Bethlehem
Several businesses damaged
BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Crews battled a devastating fire in Bethlehem on Sunday.
The fire broke out just before 8:30 a.m. at a historic business building in the unit block of East Broad Street.
"Flames were shooting out of the properties," said Robert Grello, who lives nearby.
Several businesses were damaged in the fire, including law offices that are housed in the building.
Crews were able to contain most of the flames to one side of the building.
The owner told 69 News he'll be able to recover at least some of his records, but concern quickly shifted beyond the building on fire.
Crews worked feverishly to fend off flames at neighboring businesses, including a dry cleaner, but the inside suffered quite a bit of water damage.
"A lot of clothing, a lot of people's clothing, so sorry everyone, sorry," said Maryann Schoch, owner of Fashion Cleaners.
Schoch said she would be contacting customers individually about any damage.
"Broke down all the doors, ceilings are caved in, water damage throughout. The floors, walls, pictures broken," said Marlo Reppert, who lives in an apartment upstairs and was out of town when the fire erupted. "I cried. I thought for sure our building would be up in flames next."
Unsure of the fate of her home and belongings, she frantically gathered what she knew she couldn't live without: two cats and a pet turtle.
All circumstances considered, crews called Sunday's battle a success.
"The homes are real close, and businesses, and they kept it from spreading on both sides, so they made a good stop on this fire," said Chief Robert Novatnack, Bethlehem Fire Dept.
It remained unclear Monday what started the fire.

Few restaurants in history have achieved as much recognition in a few short years as Famous Dave's! Dave's road to fame began with a strong hankerin' for fine barbeque and a stronger desire to make the finest slow-smoked barbeque folks had ever tasted. He visited rib shacks, roadside joints, every hole-in-the-wall or fancy pants supper club he could, all in search of the most BBQ succulent meats, savory seasonings and lipsmackin' sauces around. After 25 years of tastin' and cookin', Dave's barbeque just plain knocked the socks off his family and friends. That's when Dave decided he had to share. He wanted to give all the folks a chance to dig into the best barbeque ever. And in a place as down-home fun and frolicsome as the BBQ shacks and clubs he went a callin' on all those years.

BLM Announces Updates to Fall-Winter Wild Horse and Burro Gather Schedule
The Bureau of Land Management today announced updates to its tentative fall-winter schedule for gathering wild horses and burros from overpopulated herds on drought-stricken Western public rangelands. Changes from the previous gather schedule reflect a re-prioritizing of gathers based on drought and, in some cases, animal conditions that have been affected by diminishing forage and water across the West. The gathers and removals are needed to bring herd sizes into balance with other rangeland resources and uses, as required by Federal law.
The BLM is also nearing full capacity at its short-term holding corrals and long-term holding pastures, thus constraining the agency's ability to remove as many of the animals necessary to reach appropriate management levels in Herd Management Areas. Because of these holding limits, the BLM continues to encourage the public to consider adopting a wild horse or burro. See adoption schedule information at http://www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/prog/whbprogram/adoption_program/schedule.html or e-mail the BLM at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 866-4MUSTANGS (866-468-7826).
Updates to the tentative gather schedule, posted at http://www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/prog/whbprogram/herd_management/tentative_gather_schedule.html, include:
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

How do sub-accounts work for the prizes?
Does winning each day on multiple sub accounts improve your chances?
And for the grand prize, if you win a MM game on a different account from one day to the next, do you still qualify?

Can we have a bit more details on the beat s2?
When will they be starting
Funny enough, the thing I'm most excited for is the announcement of raptor voodoo. O_O
My hero suggestions:
Gust - Druidess - Mobeus - Stone Angel
Very nice!
My goal is for at least one of my heroes to be ported into HoN! Help my cause and get S2 to see these!
Check out "IsmaelVera's Vault of Heroes" in the Hero Drafts section!
IsmaelVera, President of the HoN Forums
so the S2 VS Community prize when S2 loses games, the prize only given to the people that online at that moment? what about the people that's not online?
This is good, but a little objection I must say: 100th hero is comming and still no free gift for legacy players that have been trough all the way from the beta till here.
altought that small issue, I'm still amazed with this event
gj S2, slowly turning proffesional (no sarcasm)

A report prepared by GRID-Arendal for UNEP will be released to coincide with the 10th Meeting of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity in Nagoya, Japan. The report examines the limitations and strengths of existing environmental agreements for conserving and protecting Arctic biodiversity, and options for improvement.
Peter Prokosch, Managing Director of GRID-Arendal will be presenting the findings of the report at a side event on Wednesday, 27 October 2010.
The report will be available for download at the GRID-Arendal website on the day of the launch.
The event will also present a new online photo library that will provide free high-resolution images of ongoing and emerging environmental issues of global interest to the public at large. The photo library will provide images and stories that highlight some of the most talked about environmental issues of the day and provide context by including short descriptive paragraphs that accompany the photos. The initial contents of the web site include many of GRID-Arendal's Polar images, but the library also houses images of current environmental issues from around the world. The goal is to regularly fill the site with the latest images generated from GRID-Arendal projects and to partner with photographers whose work also covers issues of priority to UNEP.

The McCain strategy is far more superior than his opponent.
The surge won the peace in Iraq, now we go to Afghanistan. We cannot invade Palestine as his opponents would do, as it would start an atomic war; besides, we have to get along with our allies.
This is a war against terrorists and not Palestine. It is better to keep Palestine as our allie.
McCain is our man - he will win on both fronts and the election.

"I typically love Bare Traps and these are so cute, I hated to return them but the material around the foot I don't think is real leather. It looks cheap like it will start to peel if it's cuffed at all. Also the fuzzy inside is only in the upper calf area not throughout the foot. The calf was too big for my size legs and the material is too flimsy to hold up so they slouched slightly. The slouching I felt would only get worse over time, especially walking around. Definitely not worth the price! I wish they would make a narrow calf size."

"They fit well in the foot, but the calf is a bit baggy (and I have big calves!) I like the soft lining. It says they are real leather, but the shaft seems too flimsy, so I hope they hold up."

Great boots!!
"These boots rock! Very stylish and comfortable. Small heel. I do like that they do not run all the way to your knee also. The only thing I would change is the zipper, it does not run to the top of the boot. That makes it a little more challenging to get your pant leg tucked in. The boot is not tight on your calf so that helps."

Canadian men's volleyball team end Down Under tour on high note
MELBOURNE, Australia – Canada's men's volleyball team defeated Australia twice in two days including Saturday's convincing straight set win 25-22, 25-17, 25-16 to conclude its two week tour down under.
The Canadians, preparing for the world championships this September in Italy, also trained in Brisbane and Canberra over the 14 days. They evened the four match series with the Australians at two wins apiece with Saturday's victory. The Aussies won the opening two matches then Canada roared back with the two victories in Melbourne.
In Saturday's match, Canada started with Louis-Pierre Mainville of Notre-Dame-de-L'Isle, Que., Justin Duff of Winnipeg, Dallas Soonias of Red Deer, Alta., Dustin Schneider of Brandon, Man., Toon Van Lankvelt of Rivers, Man., Fred Winters of Victoria and Benoit Raymond of Vaudreuil-Dorion, Que.
"We had a balanced team attack which was anchored by the serve reception of Winters, Raymond and van Lankvelt," said Canadian assistant coach Larry McKay. "Our team block-defense on the right side attack of the Australians was also handled better today."
Although the first set was the closest, the Canadians led from start to finish up ahead 8-5 and 16-11 at the technical time-outs. The score was close through most of the second set with Canada up 8-7 and 16-13 at the technical time outs before Canada closed out with an 11-4 run to finish the set. In the third, the Canadians outscored the Aussies 13-6 to finish off the match.
"We showed improvement each day," said McKay. "The Australians were an impressive team and we used our training time wisely to get our game up to the level we expected of ourselves."
The Canadian team returns home Sunday-Monday and will a have two week period to train on their own. The team reassemebles at their training base in Gatineau, Que., on July 20 for the final push towards the worlds.
The 14-member Canadian team, lead by head coach Glenn Hoag of Gatineau, Que., is comprised of Louis-Pierre Mainville of Notre-Dame-de-l'Isle, Que., Steve Brinkman of Bowmanville, Ont., Adam Kaminski of Chatham, Ont., Justin Duff of Winnipeg, Dustin Schneider of Brandon, Man., Joshua Howatson of Victoria, Jeremy Wilcox of Calgary, Fred Winters of Victoria, Steve Gotch of Okotoks, Alta., Toon Van Lankvelt of Rivers, Man., Nicholas Cundy of Edmonton, Dallas Soonias of Red Deer, Alta., sh Gavin Schmitt of Saskatoon and Benoit Raymond of Vaudreuil-Dorion, Que.

i have a lexmark Z515 and i found no support no where, only previous or other lexmark models supported by Ubuntu. the drivers on either dont work for s**t
Otherwise, have you tried this: http://www.aquarionics.com/journal/2..._debian_linux/ ?
The link to the driver in it doesn't work and I couldn't find Z515 drivers, however, according to the howto, they use z600cups-1.0-1.gz.sh, i.e. the driver for z600.
You can find that driver here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ha...exmarkPrinters
The .deb is quite old, but might still work.
If it doesn't, it should still be possible to get it to work, by extrac ting the necessary files and following one of the multiple tutorials using them.
I can eventually remake the .deb for the latest Ubuntu version, as I did in the past.
Just need to get more important things done in real life at the moment. :/
I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but here goes
I have a lexmark s301 printer I'm trying to install on 10.10
I downloaded the driver from Lexmarks site
It opens a window saying it will install the drivers
After accepting the license agreement, a new window pops up, saying
" This operation requires root(administrative) privileges.
Please enter the administrative password below: "
but when I do it tells me the password is incorrect? I know I'm entering the correct password, I've even tried it with caps lock on/off number lock on/off and every other way I can think of to enter the same password, but I keep getting the same output.
My password works when I run synaptic and every other thing that needs root access.
Anyone have any ideas about this?
I figure it's a problem with the Lexmark software, but I'm a newb to linux so I don't know how else to do it.
I tried searching through the install CD for the PPD file, but didn't find anything
I sent an email to Lexmark's tech support, but who knows how long that will take, so I thought I'd try here.
Ahh, nevermind, I found the answer to this problem here:
Printer works great now
I can confirm that the method given on page 57 of this thread works for a Lexmark X1290. I was able to get it running in linux using the Z600 driver.
There's just a few little things you need to be aware of:
-You need libstdc++5 installed, and this can no longer be obtained in one step using sudo apt-get, I think because libstdc++6 supersedes it. You need to do it this way. On 64 bit the following should do the trick
On 32 bit this worked for me:Code:wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gcc-3.3/libstdc++5_3.3.6-20_amd64.deb dpkg-deb -x libstdc++5_3.3.6-20_amd64.deb ia64-libs sudo cp ia64-libs/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.7 /usr/lib64/ wget http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/i/ia32-libs/ia32-libs_20090808ubuntu2_amd64.deb dpkg-deb -x ia32-libs_20090808ubuntu2_amd64.deb ia32-libs sudo cp ia32-libs/usr/lib32/libstdc++.so.5.0.7 /usr/lib32/ cd /usr/lib64/ sudo ln -s libstdc++.so.5.0.7 libstdc++.so.5 cd /usr/lib32 sudo ln -s libstdc++.so.5.0.7 libstdc++.so.5
-the guide on page 57 says in step B-4 you should get some output after running ./z600Code:wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gcc-3.3/libstdc++5_3.3.6-20_i386.deb dpkg-deb -x libstdc++5_3.3.6-20_i386.deb libstdc++-files sudo cp libstdc++-files/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5.0.7 /usr/lib/ cd /usr/lib/ sudo ln -s libstdc++.so.5.0.7 libstdc++.so.5
I got no output, even after editing /etc/fstab, but the method still worked.
If you edited fstab and the computer hangs at startup, boot to a command line and just comment out the line you added and all should be well.
I hope this helps someone, and thanks to ShadowMage for the original method.

I have finally opted for the ultimate solution.
I was having all kinds of issues with my Lexmark - hardware related. So I went out and bought an HP deskjet for about $100.
It took five minutes to unpack it, plug it in and do the 'add printer' thing to get a test page printed. No terminal, no downloading, no work arounds, no searching the net for virtual rubber bands and duct tape. It just works.
If you can do it, I'd recommend going to HP. The support is terrific. Lexmark is just a pita. You will kick yourself for not doing it sooner.
All credit to and thank you to black hole sun for starting this thread and sharing how to get lexmark printers working in ubuntu.
Just adding update for what worked to get my old lexmark x1270 working in ubuntu 12.04.
Referring to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal was very handy for getting to grips of what and how to do simple tasks using Terminal.
Download and save the driver cjlz600le-cups-1.0-1.tar.gz (which Lexmark calls "Driver for RedHat Linux 9.0") from http://support.lexmark.com using your favorite browser.
From terminal install alien and libstdc++5 which are z600cups dependencies
Code:sudo apt-get install alienTo unzip and install driver-give these commands from terminalCode:sudo apt-get install libstdc++5
Then connect printer and switch on and go to settings button at top right of unity desktop click and select printers.Code:$mkdir Lexmark $cd Downloads #or location of file downloaded from Lexmark website. $mv CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz ~/Lexmark $cd Lexmark $ tar -xvzf CJLZ600LE-CUPS-1.0-1.TAR.gz # extract the driver. $ tail -n +143 z600cups-1.0-1.gz.sh > install.tar.gz # the sh script is broken for newer systems. use `tail` to extract the binary portion of the script. $ tar -xvzf install.tar.gz # extract the contents produced by tail $ sudo alien --scripts -t z600cups-1.0-1.i386.rpm # convert unusable rpm packages to tgz. $ sudo alien --scripts -t z600llpddk-2.0-1.i386.rpm # convert unusable rpm packages to tgz. $ sudo tar xvzf z600llpddk-2.0.tgz -C / # extract the tgz's to / putting the files in their right place $ sudo tar xvzf z600cups-1.0.tgz -C / # extract the tgz's to / putting the files in their right place $ sudo ldconfig # DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP or your printer backend won't find required libraries $ cd /usr/share/cups/model $ sudo gunzip Lexmark-Z600-lxz600cj-cups.ppd.gz # unzip the ppd, which should _not_ be gzipped $ exit
Click Add
Select device from list and click forward
Leaving "Select printer from database" selected choose "Lexmark" and then click forward
Select Z600 v1.0-1 driver
Rename device and description to your liking and apply.
Go printing.

The difference between knowledge and wisdom is knowing what to do or just doing it. I know nothing and get little done.
Thank you very much. I followed the directions step by step and my Lexmark X1195 started to print.
in Ubuntu 12.04, Lexmark X1195 printerpart works now; thank you; after upgrade to Ubuntu 12.10 scannerpart works fine with xscanimage;
