Hi Marcia,
I had the same problem with my Epson Stylus Color 600 printer producing
severely "banded" text output when I upgraded to LM8 from LM7.2.
Moreover, there were also very long and painful pauses during the
printing process - which were absent in LM7.2. I also use the CUPS+GIMP
driver.
Recently though, the problems disappeared and printing works perfectly
once again. I'm not sure why exactly, but it's probably due to one of
these 2 following things that I'd done since:
1) updated to the recently released 1.1.7 CUPS packages
2) moved the printer from SMB printing via a shared Windows box, to LPR
printing via my new SMC Barricade router/print server.
Hope this helps.
