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

Ah yes.
Sorry.
Had a strange experience trying to get in as root (Kubuntu) as it said root
wasn't allowed. Always used to work when I had plain Ubuntu.
But logged in as a console (whole screen terminal) and ran make install.
I guess it went OK, but don't know as the huge text flew past and left me back
at the prompt.
So back into the GUI, but under 'new printer' and 'Olympus', the P11 is still
not there.
Any ideas?

Thanks for all your help.

Ron
