Hi Roger, no probs (and I apologise for my delayed response too :/ )

I emailed the gimp-print-devel list with some updated info (included
testing on an Epson Stylus Photo RX590 as well) - but I think they are
waiting on a response from you?

Also, I'll prepare a debug level log for you at some stage today or
tomorrow and post it. I didn't have any luck finding anything
pertinent when I looked.

Bernie
