1st thanks for the advice on how to get my Canon S400 up and running at the last meeting. Lots of useful ideas.
I still haven't quite got beyond the printer, whenever I print something, going through a couple of head cleaning cycles and then going back to sleep but I have uninstalled CUPS, installed a 'proper' copy of Ghostscript, and also PDQ and Magicfilter. I like PDQ, especially xpdq. I not sure that mf is giving me anything at the moment but I'm keeping it by, just in case :o). At present reading up on how fonts are handled within X, Gnome, Ghostscript, etc. because I'm pretty sure they aren't set up correctly.
OK, to get the point at last. While browsing around the printing projects on SourceForge I came across Gimp-Print http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/index.php3 which seems to be one of the few that supports the S400 directly instead of as a BJC600. I've got hold of a copy and I'm going to give it a try. Anyone else ever used it?
Incidentally there's an article on LinuxPlanet that mentions it http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/opinions/3689/1/
