Hi John,
       
I found the driver,  (listed under all printers, and not inkjet).  I
actually had tried this driver in the past and the printer would work one
minute and not the other which is why I installed the GIMP print  one which
has stabilized the printer.  (the settings became an issue recently because
I am now trying to use same printer for printing images with Piezo and thus
need the settings)
1.  Do you or can anyone guide me as to which is the better driver to use.
2.  In the GIMP print one  there are several settings that I do not know
what the settings should be and there does not seem to be a way to turn
color sync off. Additionally under printer features,  Dither algorithm has 6
options.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Siobhan

If you are printing with Piezo inks then use the Cone's Piezography driver...or use QTR.

Don't know much about the GIMP driver.
