Re: [Printing-user-general] Olympus P11 printer - update

I've now managed, by clicking on files (more luck than judgement) to run a
configure and make. But the P11 still doesn't appear on the list when I do a
'new printer' and select 'Olympus' as the make.
Is there something else I need to do?

Thanks for all your help.
