I can get my Epson C82 to work with the stock gimp-print driver, but for some reason I can't get it to work with the ppd-o-matic generated "foomatic-rip" driver combo from linuxprinting.org. From what I understand, foomatic-rip is a perl script, so it should not be platform specific to Linux. While I am somewhat satisfied with the stock gimp-print driver, the foomatic-rip script really cleans up the print much better. I've noticed quite a few kerning problems with TT fonts without it. Does anyone have this specific combination working? If so, where should the foomatic-rip and/or foomatic-gswrapper scripts be placed? Should I set owner to root:daemon? I'll keep trying with it in the meantime. -- Todd Stephens
