Please do that in the right forum. debian-devel-announce is not intended
for user requests. In this case the right way is to file a bug report
on the gs package with severity wishlist. You can find the information on
how to do that on

The problem is that I don't own such a printer. So I can only go and 
search what driver is eventually available for that printer, get it
and patch our package to support it. If I did that for every printer 
around I won't have time to do anything else.

So if you need a better driver please dig it up yourself on the web 
and tell me where to find it. The gs package comes with the cdj850 and
cdj890 drivers. They would be my best guess for your printer - please
try if gs -sDEVICE=cdj890 does produce acceptable results for you. 

Another idea would be to ask on the debian user mailing list if somebody
is using the same printer - mail to debian-user@lists.debian.org

As long as you don't tell me which drivers that would be there is not 
much I can do to fix that.

There is no need for another package. If we get the drivers we can 
extend the normal gs package as well.
