   I have found two problems with the IJS server compared with the stp
   driver:

   gs -sDEVICE=stp -sModel=escp2-c60 -sOutputFile=ex2.prn  ijs1.ps

   Prints page without problems.

   gs -sDEVICE=ijs -sIjsServer=/usr/bin/ijsgimpprint
   -sDeviceManufacturer=EPSON -sDeviceModel=escp2-c60
   -sOutputFile=/tmp/ext.prn
   '-sIjsParams=Quality=720hq,MediaType=GlossyPhoto,Density=0.8,ImageType=2'
   ijs1.ps

   Page prints fine, but there is an initial hairline extending across
   the horizontal extent of the printable area (8").  This is probably a
   single nozzle.  It does not exist in the postscript original.

Can you verify with unprint that this line really exists in the print?

   gs -sDEVICE=ijs -sIjsServer=/usr/bin/ijsgimpprint
   -sDeviceManufacturer=EPSON -sDeviceModel=escp2-c60 -dIjsUseOutputFD
   -sOutputFile=/tmp/ex3.prn -sProcessColorModel=DeviceGray
   -dBitsPerSample=1 -sIjsParams='Quality=720sw,Density=0.8' ijs1.ps

   Like previously, an initial hairline is present, but the page is
   terrible:

   Total horizontal print area: 8"
   Total vertical print area: 11.5"
   Printed page: 1" x 11.5" rectangle (horribly distorted, being
   compressed by a factor of 8.
   Followed on the right by a 7" x 11.5" solid black rectangle

Yikes.  I've never seen anything like this.  What version are you using?
