Nels, I've got some 4 to 5 megapixel photos. I'd be glad to Email one to you so you can give it a shot. -Jim -----Original Message----- From: juneau-lug-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:juneau-lug-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Nels Tomlinson Sent: Sunday, April 28, 2002 7:23 AM To: juneau-lug@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [juneau-lug] Re: USB up and going Hi, I just bought one of those C80's, and I'm using it on my Redhat 7.1 box. The stock printing system didn't know what to do with it (grey-scale-only was a real disappointment), so I removed the rpms for it and installed cups and the gimp-print drivers. Cups is nice. Since I usually have Mozilla open anyway, it's easy to monitor/manipulate the two printers I'm using. The C80 is a good color printer, but it isn't quite photo-quality. We bought some photo paper, and started trying to print some photos. The results weren't entirely satisfactory; not bad, but not quite as good as photos. I'm not sure how much of that is a matter of blowing up a photo too darn big, and how much is the printer's fault. If you would like to try printing one of your photos on my printer, reply to me and we can schedule a time for you to drop by. My kernel has USB support (I've got the Epson hooked to the USB), so I think we'll be able to jam your card in the hole and move pictures about. I'd be curious to see how a really high-resolution photo comes out. Nels Charles R.
