Until I get some of the rest of things re-configured to do
without the gimp-print-4.2.7 stuff I nuked, it looks as if the
gimp is the path I have to use to print right now, and its highly
responsive of those changes I'm making, whereas using kghostview,
and chooseing the print option was not responding.

With that line 128 set to this:
  { "low_pigment", 3, { 0.125, 0.25, 1.0 } };
the midrange is much darker, and there is the beginning of a fade
to grey in the first inch at the top, black end of the scale.
 
Whatever I had in there before, I think it was the 0.09, 0.18,
1.0, gave an inch and a half fade from very dark grey to
nearly white in the big drops, then fades off from the white to
nearly black over the next 3", and used the rest of the page
height to do a nearly complete fade to white.  With some banding
and general confusion in the geometric middle 4" of the scale,
faint line patterns across it.  So the above setting is not ideal
just yet.

I'm going to see if I still have duplicate entries in the web
interface for all printers/lanuages like I did have, there might
be something fixable there.  No!  Now I have only one entry per
printer/language.  And the menu's when configureing are much
simplified.

However, I cannot print with the lpd command, getting the same
missing libcom_err.so.3 library.  Somethings definitely fubar here
now. Should I see if I can get it back from amanda, or see if I
can fix the cups install?  I have 1.1.22 final here now, so what
would be the proper arguments to pass to ./configure?
