It was night, it was late, I was under pressure to get stuff printed 
for my daughters science fair project after taking my Epson on a 
one-way trip to the floor (A long story).

I do not remember where I saw it in a read me file or if I searched 
via google and came across it.  I followed the installation in the 
hpijs driver on the initial setup.

You may get information from here.

http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/p_Documentation.php3

I would have to check the settings but there was a change to the 
characters in the gimp print settings.  As the printer is at home, I 
would have to check that machine for it's settings.

I do know that I took my time setting up the printer and read all the 
documentation, (I know that this isn't real geek procedure) but I 
couldn't take the time to do it again.

I will look at home tonight.
