Was overseas and used a converter to plug the printer\charger in. It worked for a second and then did not get any power. Could I have blown an internal fuse?

Get a converter!

In Egypt, they are using 220 V; Plug C. If your charger is using 220 V then you don't need to bring anything. You will need a voltage converter and plug adapter in order to use 110V chargers.

Most likely the power supply was blown. USA uses a 110/115 V Europe uses a 220V .

The camera chargers are rated up to 240 current as Olympus is a Japanese company so they should work in that kind of environment. You will need to buy a plug converter that will connect to an overseas type of outlet.

I had the exact same question. I found a copy of the "manual" here:
akamaipix.crutchfield.com/Manuals/280/280CB2LW.PDF

It just states that "the charger can be used with a power supply between
100 and 240V AC. Contact your nearest Canon service
center for information about plug adapters for overseas
use.
• To prevent equipment breakdowns and excessive
heating, do not connect this charger to voltage
converters used by travelers, or special power sources"

I think it should be safe for use in Scotland with a plug adapter (not converter).

it's alway suggested that you simply use plug adaptors to change shape of plugs for overseas-do not reduce voltage since most all chargers including yours support 220 or 110

The operating voltage of the AC Adapter Kit/Compact Power Adapter/Battery Charger is 100V - 240V and conforms with international standards. Voltage may be unstable in some countries/regions. Please take care when using the device. The shape of the plug varies depending on the country/region. Make sure the conversion plug adapter is the right shape for your location.

If this is true, then why does the manual for my new PowerShot SD1100 IS say, "Do not connect compact power adapters or battery chargers to devices such as electrical transformers for foreign travel because it may lead to malfunctions, excessive heat generation, fire, electric shock or injury."

Is this just a standard disclaimer in case something weird happens by using a transformer to charge the battery?

Yes. The power supplies and battery chargers supplied with all Powershot Digital Cameras are designed to work on input voltages from 100-240 volts (50/60 Hz). The only item that you may need is a plug adapter that allows you to plug the U.S. type power supply or battery charger into the foreign type wall outlet. Plug adapters should be easily available at a local electronics store.
