o.k....mine is similar, although I have a Stylus Color 740. My resolution is set to 720X720 (ghostscript) and 720 dpi (resolution). also, my ink type is set to 4 color standard (but there may be a difference in the color cartridges available for your epson--??) my setup is foomatic+gimp-print with CUPS and image type is continuous-tone photographs. That setup works great for me in the gimp, plus mozilla, Oo, and others. A lot of darker colors in the image seems to slow it a little...but only by a minute or so.... > > > > > Have you set the correct number of colors? have you set it for > > photographic?
