Is anyone using Gutenprint (formerly Gimp-print) directly to control  
the Epson R1800 to match Paul's QTR results?

On the Mac, Gutenprint seems to be more reliable than Epson drivers,  
and gives a large number of printer controls. Unfortunately, it  
doesn't yet allow ICC/ICM color profile control, but that isn't part  
of Paul's Eboni-black-only scheme for the Epson R1800.

My recollection is the QTR is built on Gimp-Print. (I don't know how  
Roy Harrington gets from the Linux-like Gimp-Print to the Windows  
version of QTR.)
