We will never convince the Lexmarks of the world to give us working driver writing information until we are a more significant piece of the market, one they will have to play with on our terms IF they want to sell us their printers. However, gutenprint, with _some_ Epson printers can also be quite usable, I have sold color prints from my now 8 year old C82. Epsons reds are better than HP's in particular, and I have excellent color vision, which means I'm also relatively poor at seeing in the dark. HP's reds always have a slightly orange tint to me, making flesh tones look like too much makeup. The Durabrite inks are also rated for archival (100+ years life) use. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
