I thought Gutenprint replaced Gimp-Print, and I think that with one of
the last few versions of Gutenprint the HP printer drivers were removed
in favor of the hplip driver. And, as far as I can tell, hplip doesn't
sup****t banners. I just thought I was missing a workaround, but I guess
not. The folks at the Mandriva group couldn't help, either.
Thanks for trying, anyway.
