By accident, I found that v. 1.0 of HPIJS (Hewlett-Packard InkJet Server), which appears to be a plug-in for GhostScript was released a few days ago. It supports about 60 DeskJets, Photo-Rets, etc., from the HP lineup. According to the information on the Linux printer project, and sourceforge, which in this case is a link from HP, the printer quality is very high. Have not done anything with it yet, but it looks like the software will tie itself to GS and also install itself, interrogate your printer, etc, etc. Probably the print is not up to Epson 820 standards, but I'd bet it's not far behind. (Depending, of course, on which model HP you have.) INFO at: http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net mctaataagn! --doug At 16:12 12/21/2001 -0600, Jon Pennington wrote:

Anyone using the EPSON Stylus Photo 820 printer? If so, what driver are you using with what release of SuSE? And, how's the quality of photo prints?
I can't speak from experience on that model, but the gimp-print drivers combined with CUPS are probably THE BEST combination for any Epson printer. I've seen lpr/magicfilter vs. lpr/gs vs. cups/gimp-print on my STC 440, and the difference is night-and-day.
