Brian,
I am working on a solution that should make use of Gutenprint with the
9600/7600 much easier.
For now, I am sure that Robert could be persuaded to help set up
better ink curves for Gutenprint on the 9600 - maybe by running some
measurements on the old Epson driver and matching ink densities?
There are some other bugs in Gutenprint, it appears, on the 9600, and
if the existing printers still have a couple of years of life in them
it might be worth doing some work on this as the 9800 drivers are
descended from the 9600 drivers.
I have a 9600 too, so this concerns me directly :)
