You can do       that from the commandline or from synaptic.              Then you navigate to the directory created by extracting the zip and       open a terminal there which LM default Nemo has a R click context menu for.              Then you perform the first instruction in the readme;       $ make              That $ is just the prompt character indicating that it can be done from       an ordinary user. The next command he says to execute as root, but my       default LM doesn't have a root, which has a # prompt, so instead of root       I use sudo. He says:       # make install              ... but instead I       $ sudo make install              My recollection is that I didn't get a D320 .ppd, but I did get a D300.       I don't have experience w/ adding printer drivers that cups doesn't have       by default, so someone else may have to step in here.                     --       Mike Easter              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
