MP490 printer

It is weird that it is asking for your password... 

If you hand me a copy the code I'll give it a shot. and I'll write you a 
cookbook to build it (a shell script) if I get it to compile. 

By the meantime, try:
(at the top directory of the code)
./configure && make && echo GOOD 

If you see 'GOOD', then as root:
make install && echo DONE 

It is a pretty dangerous proposition though...
