Gimp print question

Sun, 16 Jan 2005 17:56:21 -0800

Is there anyone here who is a seasoned user of GIMP print? I ask because the driver I have is not the latest and is giving some strange output problems. However, in certain circumstances it works and it took such a long time to get the setup right for my Epson ESP7500 that I am loth to rock the boat. What I can't seem to fathom is (a) how to find which version is installed and (b) how to find out if installing a later version overwrites the old one but does not destroy the "printer" i.e. can I go to find my printer and use it with the new driver? I would be very grateful if someone could reassure me on these two points which I have tried to answer by viewing the FAQs etc on the web site.

Also, if anyone has a work round (which works) for setting the printer up as an AppleTalk printer via Ethernet and 100BaseT card I would be delighted to hear about it. Using IP is far slower and much more complicated and flaky. Atlookup sees the printer fine but trying to see it through the printer setup is a non-starter, it seems it can't get by the card and I wonder if I should be setting the printer up using the card info and not the printer info but that seems daft. I have tried it many times and got nowhere.

I know this is perhaps not the place to be asking but I thought I would in case by chance someone here was au fait with the problem.

Thanks.

Drew
