Let me add another breadcrumb - I have installed the latest 5.0 RC3
Gutenprint, and started playing with it.
The good news ? It works, both in RGB mode and CMYK mode.
BUT. The speed on my Epson 2400 is HORRIBLY SLOW. I mean unusably
slow. Did I say it's slow ?
I thought I'd read those speed issues for the 2400 were now fixed.
They aren't, at least not chez moi.
Of course, I may have installation issues (Mac OS X Tiger, Dual
2.5Ghz) with the previous drivers, and/or a conflict with Quadtone
RIP. And then there is the small matter of the zillions of options -
ample scope for a mistake there.
On the other hand it's definitely printing something that looks like
the original image, which is VERY SURPRISING. This output is with
fairly random settings (does it know which profile the source file is
in ?) I've seen worse from proprietary Epson drivers -
I hope the next breadcrumb here will describe the effect of profiling
(if I haven't got thrown off list for spamming by then ).
