I don't know how to install the latest (4.1.7) gimp-print drivers with the current apsfilter so I haven't used it for printing.

I can set up a local printer an print text perfectly and print from gimp with the correct driver configuration but that doesn't help me with postscript (web pages etc.)

Cups.  Cups allows me to configure the printer but the  printcap looks something like:

gimp|Epson EPSON Stylus C63:rm=local2.local.net:rp=gimp:

I have no idea how it actually works.  The cups configuration shows /dev/lpt0 as the device but nothing gets to the spooler or the printer.

I've always used apsfilter and it has just worked with a minimum of muss and fuss.  I sure hope Andres is going to keep it updated because if not I for one am really going to miss it.

Thanks again for your help,
