Can gutenprint be installed in parallel with gimp-print? Then we could
(and should) add it to Fedora Extras 5 after the final version of
gutenprint is released.
/me really would like to see gutenprint in FC5 because it supports lots
of (epson) printers from round about the last 1 1/2 years that are not
supported by gimp-print. It's a pity that gutenprint is still beta and
that there are no resources to get it into FC5 -- well, that's life.
