>Description:

  There is a newer gimp-print driver available from the Sourceforge
site.  (gimp-print.sourceforge.net).  Unfortunately I was unable to
install this driver with Ghostscript6.  The build is rather convoluted
and I'm not very experienced with Ghostscript, but in any case there
is a much newer driver available that supports all the common printers
that fill the shelves of CompUSA.

>How-To-Repeat:

  Try printing with a modern Epson printer.

>Fix:

  Sorry, I couldn't come up with a patch.
