Last night I started work on a printer simulator. Basically, it's
an escp2 to pnm translator. It's basically along the lines of parse-escp2,
except in C and producing output which can be viewed on screen.
The resulting files will be huge, frankly, but this isn't really an end
user tool. I think it could be useful for sanity checking driver output
and also for testing new dithering algorithms.
That sounds really, really useful. Actually, for testing dithering
algorithms this kind of thing could be useful with any printer (just
print it out with an Epson driver and display the result).
Of course, it wouldn't be a comprehensive or accurate test, but it should
pick up major screwups. It's also handy if you don't actually have the
printer around.
Or if you want to save on ink/paper bills, or you have clogged jets,
like I do :-)
I expect to have it ready within a day or two, barring unforeseen
circumstances, but so far I have not been able to access the repository
except as an anonymous user. Anyone else seen this problem?

I'm using OpenSsh, if that makes a difference.
Double check that you're running a recent version of cvs (I'm running
1.10.6 with client/server), and that CVS_RSH is set to the correct
version of ssh. The version of ssh I'm using is:
$ ssh -v
SSH Version 1.2.27 [i686-unknown-linux], protocol version 1.5.
Standard version. Does not use RSAREF.
But I somehow doubt that that's the problem. It looks like it thinks
you're actually trying to log in to cvs.gimp-print.sourceforge.net,
rather than just talk to a cvs server. You might try asking the
sourceforge people if they can help you, if these suggestions don't do
the trick.
