   Let me introduce myself. I am Chema Celorio. I live
   in Mexico City and I have been working with GNOME,
   specially with gnome-print. I have been working
   with gnome-print's PCL native driver.

Hi!

   I compiled gimp-print today ( CVS version )
   to test it with my Epson Sylus 860.
   Here are the results in the diferent modes.
   The type was set to "photograph".

   360 BW  - ok
   720 Microweave - ok
   720 Softweave - problem #1
   720 High Quality - problem #1
   1440 720 Micro - problem #2
   1440 720 soft - problem #1
   1440 720 enhnaced - problem #1

   Problem #1
   -
   After the job is sent to the printer, the printer
   starts ejecting blank sheets, one after another.
   I have to reset the printer 2 or 3 times to flush
   the data.

That indicates that the support for the 860 isn't correct yet.  It's a
new printer, and I only just got doc (which unfortunately I can't
share yet) on it.  I can't promise when it will be working.

   Problem #2
   -
   A page came out, but between each row of pixels there is
   like a 1/4 centimeter separation of the image.

Hmm.
