Digital BW, The Print

I think I've gotten QTR installed under RH9 with an Epson 1270.  I 
say I think because I haven't actually bought or intalled the BW 
inkset.  But I can see the Quadtone printer showing up under CUPS.

I've got a 2200 also, and I'm pretty happy with the BW output, but I 
figure it wouldn't hurt to spend $50 on MIS cartridges to see if my 
venerable 1270 can do better.  I have gotten through all the install 
steps, but I'm stuck on the curves.

If you have any questions about the RH, gimp-print, or cups install, 
I could probably help.

If you make it through installing the curves before I do, I'd love 
to see a quick overview of the procedure.

It would be nice to see an rpm at some point instead of having to 
build it from scratch.  A README for Linux users is also definitely 
in order.

Let me know if I can help....
