MDKA-2002-015-1 suggested upgrading a bunch of printer files, including cups-drivers-1.1-79.2mdk-i586.rpm. I am using an HP Deskjet 960C with Mandrake 9.0 and use CUPS.
I also have the TurboPrint drivers, which were MUCH better than the free ones (and well worth the $16 to register). However, the newly released hpijs-1.3.tar.gz sounds great. Now, both of these were released within a day or two, so I am assuming that the hpijs-1.3 did NOT make it into the rpm upgrades, right? I installed all the printer stuff from the 015-1 advisory (except omni) and I find that driver is lots better, almost as good as the TurboPrint, but not nearly as fast. Also, it does not seem to have a 1200 dpi print option from the GIMP. Now the question for Till or somebody, is: should I try to install the hpijs-1.3, wait for an updated print-driver RPM, or was the hpijs-1.3 already included in this update? The documentation from linuxprinting.org and from the HP site is fairly overwhelming, so perhaps just a pointer or two from someone who knows printers would save me a lot more research and trial-and-error.
