Sorry, its www.turboprint.de and not .be.... I forgot to say it had been reviewed on Slashdot recently.
Yes, it was reviewed, and the general conclusion was that it is junk, and complicated to setup. If I remember correctly, the recommended solution was the gimp-print drivers. In many cases people get better quality using gimp-print then using Windows what-ever.
Obviously,, you did not read the same reviews...... http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/12/23/1424236&mode=thread and http://www.linuxlookup.com/html/reviews/software/turboprint1.4-1.html Which says :
Installation ::
TurboPrint for Linux comes as a tarball containing 'install' and 'uninstall' shell scripts, installation instructions, and all the binary software. The installation goes over pretty easily, with little user interaction. It begins by asking the installation language (English or Deutsch), it then verifies the installation directories, and then it completes the installation. If you want to to change the default directories, you'll have to edit the configuration file 'system.cfg' manually.
A neat feature of the installation is that it lists all of the software packages that TurboPrint needs to work at its full potential. It lists what packages these are missing and what they are used for. In my case, I was missing 'fig2dev', used for FIG drawings. Not a problem.
