I usually don't compile from source myself but I bought a Epson R300, which has a funtion to print labels on cd-r/dvd-r media. This function just recently? was added to gimp-print so I took a chance. I didn't change anything, used the source from here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1537&release_id=263385 Used the cups localhost:631 web interface and the new gimp-print drivers were there. I did remove the previous version of gimp-print first, just in case. Good Luck. -- Greg C. Madden -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
