Hi, Charles Philip, Thanks for suggestion. Can you please tell me how you have rebuilded GhostScript and Gimp-Print RPMs? or you just compiled them and installed with "make install"? I have tried to modify SuSE SPEC files, but this is quite cumbersome, too much patches I do not know purposes for. Thanks for in advance for any advice.

Yes, the quality of the gimp-print driver is amazing. The funny thing with the c70 is that they even went further. The max resolution of the c70 driver in Windows and MacOS X is 2880x720 dpi although the printer is capable of more. The max that gimp-print support on the c70 is 2880x1440 dpi.
If you like to experiment, the latest gimp-print have even better quality than the one ship with 8.1. You will need to compile gimp-print with CUPS support, if you are using CUPS. You will also need to recompile ESP Ghostscript. There are also 2 other drivers you can try to see which will give you the best results: (1) Ghostscipt's gimp-print STP driver through CUPS or LPR/ng (You will need to compile and install Foomatic and compile gimp-print with Foomatic support), (2) Ghostscript's gimp-print ijs driver through CUPS or LPD/ng (same precedure as stp, but you will need to compile gimp-print with Foomatic and ijs support). Here are the gory details:

I am currently using the ijs driver.
