[Glastonbury] HP printer drivers

What are the symptoms?

I have seen times when the Gimp has tried to print postscript source
to my printer, rather than the dots that result from /interpreting/
the postscript :-) This came down to removing -oraw from my the print
command in the Gimp (or setting it - can't remember now ... if this is
your problem, see whether or not you have -oraw and reverse it :-). 
The Gimp doesn't seem to use CUPS the same way as other applications,
which is pretty infuriating.  I don't know about epiphany.

The driver site I posted includes instructions for installing on Suse,
so you could give them a whirl.  Nothing to lose (well, except time
and sanity :-)

Hth,
Ian
