   Pursuant to my problem with the cups, (I think, it looks like I
   have "GNU Ghostscript 6.51" installed, and atm I don't recall what
   install in the 10,000 monkeys print attempt it came from), and its
   consistent useage of a paper spec about 1/4 inch or more longer
   than the available letter area of an Epson Stylus Pro.  The
   (in-)famous paper waster.

I thought I gave you a fix for that; did it not work correctly?  If
it's not enough, it's easy to adjust.  It may be that it needs
different borders with softweave vs. otherwise.

   I compiled on the amiga, years ago, gs 5.10, which has the stcolor
   drivers available, and which handles this printer dead correctly.
   I just tonight stumbled across a file called 'stcinfo.ps' which
   when fed to a properly initialized gs by this short script:

This file exists in gs 6.51, although it doesn't work correctly, as
you note.

   I would love to be able to get color output, and paper size control
   on the linux box like I have on this amiga.  Is this a bug I should
   file against gs 6.51, or is it repairable somehow via a
   cups/print/gimp-print rebuild from the most recent release?

I'm more interested in fixing gimp-print than worrying about stcolor,
but I'm not quite sure what you're asking about.  Do you want the
color chart that this stcolor.ps file prints out, or something else?
