(Geneva 3-point is hard to read without a magnifying glass with a magnifying glass, vendor driver output is difficult to make out. Fonts tested include Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, Times New Roman, Palatino, Optima, Tahoma, Tekton, and Belwe.

Font sizes which are unreadable using the vendor drivers show clearly using GutenPrint. Testing included text from Safari, TextEdit, Pages, MS Word, Graphic Converter, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader, Preview, and, via Classic and Apple's LW8 driver in Classic, Word Perfect 3.5e and QuarkXpress 5.0. The smaller the font, the better the output compares.
GutenPrint 5.0 rc 1 produces text output on Epson C84, HP DJ5550, and HP PSC1350 which is as good or superior to that produced by the drivers provided by the vendors. Then "whola !" I discovered these drivers upon which I happily got rid of those old pieces of junk and feel quite certain that I will never have to revisit this nonsense ever again. Out of sheer frustration, I came SOOOOO close today to scrapping my whole updated system in favor of reverting to my OSX 10.5.6 (of which I had absolutely no issues printing at all once I spent a few days finagling and coercing it to work from the previous update) system backup because this time around I just could not get them to work in OSX 10.5.7. In these tough economic times (in case anyone has forgotten), WHY in tarnation should I have to run out and buy a new printer when mine works perfectly fine if/when/ever the system drivers will operate correctly. I grew SOOOOO dag gone sick and tired of having to finagle and coerce the system drivers to work each and every time I updated to the newest version of OSX 10.5 (10.5.7 this time around).
I still own/use a very reliable Epson Printer I bought brand new in 1997.
