FWIW, IMO, QImage is the best printing program you can get, 
concerning print quality.

It's the Vector and Pyramid interpolation that make it so great. Not 
to mention, the smart sharpening feature.

I've used nothing but QImage to print with since early on went I 
went "digital" and made a comparison betweem QI, PS7, Windows and 
printing through the Epson software.

QImage won hands down. Wasn't even close. I could tell the QI prints 
was a better print before it was fully ejected from the printer.

I highly recommend QImage.
