Robert,

I, too, have just purchased an Epson C64, as a replacement for the two 
ESC-800's and an 850 that (still!) print terribly slowly with 
GIMP-Print/CUPS on my FreeBSD 5.2-Current machine.  I'm using the 
4.2.6.rc2 sources from the email that was posted last week, but have 
been unsuccessful in making it work.  The PPD for the C64 shows up in 
the printer list, but when I try to print a test page from CUPS.  It 
prints "Lx" on the first line, then several lines of "?'s" before I 
cancel the job...  This is the same behavior that I've gotten with the 
previous 4.2.x and 4.3.x sources that I've tried since support for the 
C64 was added.  My system has CUPS 1.1.20 and Ghostscript-GNU 7.07_4.  
I've just tried your suggestion of removing libgimpprint.so* to no 
avail...

Please don't be misled by the fact that I'm running -CURRENT, I'm not 
much of a developer, but I'm a decent sys admin... :-)  Please let me 
know if there is any more info I can collect for you that would be 
helpful...  Thanks for you help!
