    I cannot find the grep version and I seem to be unable to transcribe SnowHog's Konsole instructions; whatever it is that I'm doing is not what he meant me to do.

    The download is like a zip file. You can right-click to extract it. It will create a folder called cdroot. Go there, then into the Linux folder, and double-click the install.sh file. It will ask for your password, then a wizard will walk you through the process. iIt looks to be a two-part affair, one to install the driver files, then it seems to want to restart, but this is to set up the printer itself. I don't have one, so I could not proceed there.
