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.
