Either way, I think having gutenprint in FC5-updates or FE5 sounds like a really good idea because it supports lots of modern printers that are unsupported otherwise. On the kernel-level we're already having great hardware support due to the regular kernel-updates. We IMHO should try to provide good hardware support in userland, too. Means: Updated printer drivers and X-Drivers for the current distro (e.g. FC5 in this case) to support newer hardware that was unsupported when the distro was released (or even not on the market when the distro was released).
