Attn Gimp Users for Linux

If you like Gimp and you like Linux for photographic reproduction and 
images and like to do your own photo printing using both wide format 
printers like the Epson Stylus Pro3800 and the Epson Stylus 2880 or the 
Canon IP5100/6100 and/or the standard format Canon and Epson printers 
and like the latest and greatest then this  is what you need to do on a 
CONTINUAL BASIS.

1. YOU NEED TO REPEATEDLY CALL SALES, MARKETING AND TECH SUP****T 
DEMANDING LINUX DRIVERS AND PRINTER SOFTWARE OUT OF THE BOX.
Canon, HP, and Epson

 The mfg do not think their is any demand for it.

2.  You need to tell the authors of Gimp that they need to have sup****t 
for all of the above named printers and that you use the Gimp for 
photography and not just for graphic arts.

3.  You need to continually tell your Linux distro authors of the 
im****tance of printing photos on these type of printers.  And do not 
leave out the expensive large format printers like the 3800 and up.


    Even Turbo Print does not sup****t many of the abvoe printers and 
when they sup****t something similar they are about 3 years behind in 
models.  That is a poor showing.
