Anders; Earlier I expressed concerns that Photoprint appeared unable to support CUPS print management and thus would be unsuitable for general usage, so I dropped a line to the developer who assured me as follows:
<< PhotoPrint can be used with CUPS drivers by picking "Adobe Postscript Level 2" as the printer driver. Assuming PhotoPrint has been built with libcups support, when you select a printer queue PhotoPrint will examine that queue's PPD file and try and identify which driver has been used. If it's a Gutenprint-driven queue then it will attempt to select the correct Gutenprint driver automatically. Otherwise, it automatically selects the Adobe Postscript Level 2 driver. Provided both the Gutenprint and PhotoPrint builds are new enough, it can also make printer-specific options found in the PPD file available through the print setup dialog. >> I have since tried the package, on my rather poorly supported HP printer, and surprisingly it did work although the color will need some adjustment. I would be interested to get reactions from others as to how they find this package. Might make an interesting plug-in when you have nothing else to do!
