I find it entertaining that 5 years ago users were asking for tools
to customize Gutenprint ;)
Not likely, since it was Gimp-Print back then :-)
Personally, I'm in favor of providing as much customization as
possible to users. It's fine to hide most of it by default and make
it available via asking for advanced features or whatnot, but I
deplore the trend (as exemplified by GNOME) toward providing fewer
settings rather than more in the name of simplicity. Simplicity's
nice, but the reality is that one size doesn't fit all and some folks
-- such as the folks on this list, who are trying to push the limits
-- need more controls, not fewer..

Actually, a lot of this -- not everything (in particular, the drop
sizes and light ink transfer curves), though -- is available in
Gutenprint. I'd like to find a way to make these additional
parameters available to users for customization, too. The problem is
that CUPS provides no way of passing this data through, and PPD files
in general are clumsy for passing composite data types. If you use
the Print plugin for the GIMP, you'll find a lot of curve controls
that aren't available in the CUPS driver.
