@fuchsiii @thelinuxcast also don't forget the #Gutenprint 3rd party #drivers for bad #printers on #Linux...

Anyone of you using an inkjet by Epson or Canon under Linux? Or a dye-subllimation photo printer? Then you probably use #Gutenprint, the most sophisticated, high-quality, free software, non-manufacturer printer driver!

Want to know how Gutenprint is going currently? I have interviewed the current maintainer, Solomon Peachy:

By the way: Enthusiastic volunteers urgently needed!

Printers are thieves of time. Wish I hadn't got a #Canon. Their drivers are abandonware, for an OS version now lost in the mists of time. All hail #gutenprint! Even the experimental drivers seem to work well.
