Maybe you could detail how one can put the 9600 printer
Gutenprint/Cups in non-corrected mode and adjust the densities, and
where the settings get saved, then someone with color competence (me?)
can establish ink limits, we can all make some profiles, and then I
can freeze a version of the driver that can be distributed as a
solution to all concerned?
The Epson 2100/2200 which has the same ink set also doesn't work with
Snow Leopard and this is a *very* popular printer, so there are
presumably thousands if not tens of thousands of very angry people now
waiting for a solution which we could easily give them.
I know that free software is about giving people freedom; it helps to
show them that freedom is actually useful.
