I installed 3.1.3 last night with Gimp 1.1.20 (with resize patch).  On our
Stylus 440, 720 DPI microweave resulted in a strange vertical streaking.
The picture (of our baby, of course!) is okay except for this streaking,
which makes the printout a throw away.

Version 3.1.2 worked fine in 720 Microweave.

720 High Quality I have never had working in any version.   Last night, on
3.1.3, the "printing" progress meter at the bottom of the image in the Gimp
window stopped just a millimetre or two from the end.  I'll check it out
again soon.

720 Softweave is fast, but the resolution of the image looks poor: it has
less ink density and appears to have lost detail, but the speed is nice.

I am having problems reading the web site, and cannot remember the CVS
login commands, so haven't tried the current repository.

Thanks to the great work you are doing.  I would have much poorer pictures
without your excellent efforts.
