To all interested parties,
I recently sent an email to the list asking if anyone had used or if there was a SUSE rpm for the new Gutenprint due to replace the gimp-print we now use with CUPS. I don't recall seeing any replies, so this past weekend I decided to create a proper rpm and test.
I'm happy to report success on both! I can honestly say, using the new printer drivers, I managed to actually get good printouts from Gimp for the very first time! The printer control is exceptional for the supported models and it appears even the text output is improved. I've tested in several programs, from text editors up and all have been improved. I recommend all here that does printing of any type take the time to install this and use it! Job well done Gutenprint developers.
happy printing, Lee

I just installed Gutenprint 5.0.0 but had to use a tar file since I could not find an RPM for SUSE 10.0. Where did you find the RPM for 10.1? and do you know if one exists for 10.0? Gutenprint is the only reliable package I found for my Epson CX6600. Used rc1 & 3 also.
Thanks -- Russ
