GIMP prints great, all else fails
Hi All, I have an Epson Stylus Photo R200 on my system, and I thought it used to print just fine, though I might be kidding myself. Anyway, I now find that GIMP prints to it just fine (using -oraw, and being set up as an R200 in GIMP, so it's basicly doing the printing itself) However, anything I print outside of GIMP, anything that gets processed by the normal driver, fails dismally. I get a stripey output that looks like the lines are being printed "out of phase" with reality. That is, each line ends either just a little early, or a little late, and the extra (or deficit) is made up on the next line. Any suggestions? Anyone else out there using an R200? Is there any way to force all printing to be done via GIMP itself for this? (I tried configuring this as an "EPSON Stylus Photo-GIMP-print" but that driver generates no output at all on this printer.
