As a hobby photographer I use Gutenprint only (rich features, up-to-date 
printer support, excellent support for Epson 2100). I do agree that digiKam 
has much room for improvement on its printing front, but the question must be 
asked if it is worth while doing something else than trying to 
incorporate/interface with Gutenprint? DigiKam printing could be improved for 
thumbnail pages, and, if we go further with our own solution, positioning of 
the print on the page is indispensible.
Thanks Casey for all your thoughts.
