I'd really like to understand what this is all about. Gimp-Print
shouldn't be overwriting anything else; it simply installs a
collection of PPD files and a Gimp-Print specific CUPS driver. If
there is a filename collision somewhere, we need to rename whatever it
is that is causing the collisions.
OS X has a feature where if you plug in a printer, it automatically
adds it to print center if a drive is available for that printer. The
problem is that in Panther, if the gimp-print drivers are available in
addition to native drivers, CUPS seems to favor automatically adding
the gimp-print driver, not the manufacturer driver. I have this happen
on my laptop all the time, where my 2200 is automatically added using
the gimp-print driver, not Epson's. Also, the added printer (using gp
drivers) has an identical name as the Epson version. So I end up with
two "Stylus Photo 2200" entries, not knowing which one is Epson's or
gp.
The solution, then, is to manually delete both entries, and add the
Epson one if that's what you want to use.
