HP has newer 10.2 drivers
Authored by: nvdingo on Sep 26, '02 11:52:53AM

I don't know how many have gone to look, but HP released a new 2.0 driver on August 20th.

When i first installed 10.2, I was very very disappointed with the drivers that came with it for my 970Cse.

The new drivers i installed yesterday, i hadn't thought to check hp, duh, are back up to snuff. With the full photo quality settings, and support for the duplexing unit that came with it.

I was going to try the HPIJS driver, to see if i could get higher than 600 dpi out of it, i had been using the Gimp-Print setup, and i really like the extra ink options that are available under it.

Now, can someone explain how to have 2 different setups for the same printer?
I want one set up using the HP driver, for use when printing business docs on two sides of the paper, and for some photos, and another using the gimp-print driver for fine tuning of ink saturation that gimp-print allows.

Additionally, does anyone have a link to a really easy to follow set of instructions relating to how to use gimp-print to set up multiple spools on your hard drive? since everything passes through ghostscript, I would like to be able to print certain things directly to an EPS file.

PDF is nice, but when you are working with clients in the printing industry, what they really like is EPS files that can be embedded in page layouts, especially in programs that don't support the importing and placing of PDFs
