I am pretty interested to know about them.
I was going to recommend them but read some FUD posts
and usually I refrain from recommending a company or software I don't
have direct experience with.

For example had good experiences with Linuxant for Conexant based modems
http://www.linuxant.com

Had good experience with the commercial OSS - *but* unlike the previous,
these guys charge dearly, luckily there is a "free" version (with an
annoying boot-up message for 5 seconds)
http://www.opensound.com

But never had feedback from TurboPrint.

Chris would you vouch for them then?
If so I will add them to my long-since unmaintained list of commercial software:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&postid=1396016

And inspecting that I found out there is a company called EasyPrint Pro
http://www.easysw.com/printpro/
That could also help - they offer a free trial.
(But I got a bit suspicious of them, like they never offer anything
new or better than KPrint anyway).

Henry
