gimp-print is out for debian .. various sites carries various versions of
gimp-print and gutenprint in *.deb files


gimp-print-5.0.0-beta2 is out 
guntenprint-5.0.0-beta4 is out

what is the difference between gimp-print and gutenprint ??

i'm thinking i don't need gimp-print-xxx since i can print onto paper

------

i can already print to the epson r300 with lpr or gimp-2.2.3
or cups-1.1.23 ( port 631 ) or blah-blah-print-command

	lpr -PEsonR300 /path/tiger.ps
	( comes out very nice )

	it'd probably look better if i used "photo quality paper"


there don't seem to be any option to tell the app to print
onto the CDROM tray instead of 8.5x11 paper, though it has all kinds
of other paper sizes .. if there was and it works, it'd be "too simple"
