For epson inkjets, gimp-print is probably the best driver available on any operating system. In 7.3 (probably also 7.2) install the following packages: cups cups-client cups-drivers (I think that's where gimp-print is) cups-libs kups (nice configuration package) qtcups (optional, nice frontend for printing) and ideally don't install lprold (unless you have another printer that prints better that way). Note that cups-drivers is in the Utilities/Printing set. Use YaST2 to configure the printer initially. Then use kups (under kde menu: System > Tools > Cups Administration tool) to fine-tune cups. You should need to change at most media size (typically Letter or A4) and resolution (360 is fast but lower quality, 720 slow but higher quality; it's unlikely you'd want anything else for standard printing). The version of gimp-print that comes with SuSE 7.3 is 4.1.10. This is technically a development release though you are unlikely to encounter any problems. The latest stable release is gimp-print 4.2, which you can get from http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net. Note that it is in tar.gz form; so you'll have to compile it yourself. Most applications will now work as you want them. For fine tuning, set the print program for StarOffice, Netscape, etc., to qtcups. qtcups will give you a print dialog that lets you specify resolution etc., for individual print jobs. You can also use qtcups filename to print standard files. That's about it. If you use LaTeX you might want to do some additional fine tuning for dvips. JDL
