Yes, I really should have noted that Matthew. But a far far better
question is: "Why the hell isn't it in core?" Is there some stupid,
assinine even, reason to quasi-isolate it so from the users who need it
most?
I gave up on 4.2.6 & 7 very shortly after I'd installed FC2 when FC2 was
fresh, and installed the then alpha version of gutenprint and suddenly
started getting output I could put on good paper and sell, from an Epson
C-82. Its still sitting about 2 feet away, and still producing excellent
prints after probably 75 reams of paper and a thousand dollars worth of
ink over the years. Puhleaze, quit wasting peoples time, patience, and
money with nearly 3 year old drivers for gimp hardcopy.
