That's good to hear. Looking on the dev list, there do seem to be a few
complaints about the R200/R300 producing dark/green output, and I've
just noticed a patch checkin as of 3 days ago, so I guess I'll just wait
for it to filter into Debian and print from a CF card in the meantime
(being far too lazy to build it myself - that's what Debian does to
you :-)).

I'm really looking forward to actually getting colour management in the
next version of GIMP - getting reliable output always feels a bit hit &
miss at the moment.
