Hi
I don't know if this will be of any help, but when I was at
corels site a month or so ago they talked about having
some print drivers you might check it out for a better
filter. The print filters ect are in /usr/lib/rhs/rhs-printfilters or
some such thing you might try looking through these the
.fpi files seem to be the actual filters

Subject: Printing problems with RH 6.0.

the
