OK - but is PhotoPrint available for windows at all ? The web site, if I'm looking at the right one seem to imply not ? So how is the 'rip like environment' accessed from say Scribus under windows ? All academic for me perhaps as there doesn't deem to be a GutenPrint driver for the Dell 5110cn printer.
