Robert,
First, thanks for the reply.
While it shouldn't be necessary to uninstall Gimp-print, in practice,
it seems to keep reinstalling a Gimp-print driven printer when a USB
Epson is attached (I personally saw this on 10.3.1, but have not tested
in 10.3.2). For people who have been using Epson printers for a fairly
long time, having an entirely new set of controls for the same old
printer is confusing and makes support of same difficult. Furthermore,
Gimp-print as shipped with Panther simply fails to work as expected
when printing to the 7600/9600 printers, causing errors or simply
failing to print at all.
What exactly happens?
