Roy,

It depends. I installed PhotoPrint the Windows GUI for Gutenprint and it 
drives the HP Officejet Pro K5400 with the K60 driver. There must be 
more possible like that.

I think that the interesting printers can be in the Officejet and the 
slightly older Designjet class. The B9180 and the Designjet Z models are 
already quite good at B&W printing and I fear that the 
calibration/linearisation already integrated may not work with custom 
inksets so not really much to gain there. The 4-6 ink models could be 
more interesting.

Have you seen some features of PhotoPrint? The ink control that exists, 
GCR etc? There's a video on the site that shows some of the controls. In 
no way equal to QTR but probably more tools to adapt to a custom inkset 
than a normal HP driver would allow.
