Digital BW, The Print

QTCUPS is an obsolete program that is no longer supported but it still
works and makes for easy printing from Linux, particularly for a windows
person that is used to GUI applications and might be nervous about using
the command line :O . I think you could get it from many of the Linux
disto mirrors. If you can't find it I can send you the RedHat rpm. That
being said, I think that direct printing from the command line using
David Wroblewski's QPR script is far more efficient. It does require
modifying the script for your printer and inksets but that is really
trivial. I have a minor modification of that script that automates
setting the image resolution which you are welcome to if you wish.

Go for it! QTR under Linux is a real winner. I printed this year's Xmas
cards with it (using a sepia toned B&W) and pushed out well over a
hundred cards with a slow obsolete Epson 860.
