This might actually be a good time to upgrade especially if you are using an Epson Stylus, HP Inkjet or a Canon Bubblejet. I am having been using Apsfilter version 6.0 and Ghostscript 6.50 compiled with the STP driver provided by Gimp Print on an Epson Stylus with great results. The print quality is far superior to the Uniprinter driver. In fact, I find the colour print quality to be better than the native Epson driver on Windows.
Thanks for the tip on gimp_print. I am downloading as I write, from http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/ The list of supported printers is much longer than you suggest, and includes my Stylus Color 600 as well as many Stylus Photo models. Time for vendors to update their hardware compatibility lists IMHO. Did anyone build SuSE RPMs of Aladdin Ghostscript 6.01 or 6.50 ? I don't see them on the suse ftp site. I know they used to distribute Ghostscript 5.50 by FTP under the Aladdin license when GNU Ghostscript 5.10 was on the CDs.
harden_suse is guilty only by association - I have no evidence to even put it on trial.
It could be, I have all of my printer users in the lp group.
My lp group is still empty but printing is fixed now all the same. dproc --
