One of the tasks I have been putting off is getting my linux box to 
print decently on a particular printer.  I have a Canon BJC 6000 
printer shared via a Win95 box on the network which does a wonderfull 
job for any Windows boxen on the network.  Printing to this printer 
from a Linux box however is a total disaster.  Odd page breaks,  
horizontally split lines of text,  overwritten lines,  just really 
lousy quality.  I've tried all three of the offered print drivers 
available via the RH 7.3 KDE printer configuration menu and all the 
permutations of parameters that would logically make sense to turn on 
or off in each of the driver configurations.  Still nothing,  so far,  
has improved the printing from Linux much beyond the dismal stage with 
this printer. (HP Laserjets, and TI Phasor printers work simply 
terrific.)  

Poking around I found:

http://space.tin.it/computer/wvtberti/linux/stp_driver/gs_stp.htm

that might be worth a try but I thought I'd ask around before I tried to 
gag down the instructions here to see if anyone has:

a) used this driver and can tell me if it's really worth the time it 
appears that it will take or

b) have a better suggestion.

One of my friends asked how to learn more about how computers worked.  
Lately my recommendation seems to be; "Install Linux and get it running 
to your satisfaction."
