I'm not sure about what you mean by "better".  My current setup works
perfectly well for text, and is a "faithful image" of color -- its just
that the colors and dot resolution aren't right for photo quality
output.  It is fine for primary color fliers and the like, not so good
if one has a 3.3 megapixel digital camera and had hopes/illusions of
doing photo art (or even simple, adequate, photo portrature of your
family).

What linux distribution are you using?  I'd be happy to share my
"current best" printer filter setup, developed for Red Hat, if that is
what you need.  If it is just a stair-step effect type problem, the Red
Hat printtool will fix that for you.  If you're not using RH, then
you'll have to take the filter setup and hack it and install it in your
own filter arrangement.
