A few days ago I thought the same, and inquired how to get my old
printing system back.
I'm getting the knack of it now -though it certainly isn't what
you might call user friendly.
The results on my canon bjc2100 (definitely not a recommendable
printer) are very much better than on windows. This does take
quite a bit of work though as images/photo's get printed fine only
through the gimp printing tool.
B/W printing though is very much sharper than on windows through
standard output using the qtcups command. xpp offers some very
nice extra configuration options as well.
