I don't know how well gimp-print works with Epson, but it leaves much to be desired with my Canon S800. I've spent MONTHS and many man-hours downloading and compiling and installing and tweaking the settings on each gimp-print release, and the best I have ever been able to get out of it is "somewhat acceptable", which is piss-poor compared to the way the printer works under Windows with the Canon drivers. After reading this thread this morning, I went to the turboprint site, downloaded the demo version, had it working in about 1 minute, produced *clearly* superior print quality with much faster printing speed than cups + gimp-print, and so I used my credit card and ordered the keyfile immediately. Received the keyfile in a few minutes, and I'm really pleased I spent the 19 Euros on it. It works much better than cups + gimp-print, at least on the Canon S800. I'd say it looks just as good as the native Windows Canon driver. If you note in the gimp print 4.2 release notes, they say: "7) The Canon BJC-8200 and S800 do not produce optimum quality." That's an understatement. Michael -- "# chmod a+x /bin/laden" Michael Nelson San Francisco, CA
