Logged out no, started a new konsole and ran ff from it yes. Managed to
get the little b&w laser working, but a 2 year old 11x17 MFC? Won't
configure, missing file although the latest driver kit from brother is
installed, so I find I have a nearly $700 scanner/copier/printer thats
been discontinued! And they've blocked or removed any access to the old
files. Thats generated a nastygram to brother, its a 2 year old
printer.
