Public bug reported:
I'm getting very poor results when printing photographs on my Epson
Stylus Photo R1800 - low saturation and unsharp images - since upgrading
from 10.04 to 12.04.
When trying to resolve this using Printing=>Printer Properties=>Make and
Model=>Change, I get an error messsage which tells me this actions is
"Not supported by this backend", and advising me to report it as a bug -
I've attached a screenshot.
