TurboPrint for the Amiga hasn't been updated in years. But I agree with Mech, printing across my network (you can't use AmiTCP) to my PS printer give the best output and HP inkjets (even new ones) are still supported by the Amiga. Final Writer and PageStream give the best looking documents. It is also easy to change printers with the click of an Icon that runs a short script changing ENV parameters.  

As far as the GIMP-print goes, it would likely run under OS4.1 on a NG Amiga; Classics just don't have the chutzpah to get those programs to really run

gimp-print is not gimp.  it was originally designed as high quality drivers for gimp and eventually moved to being a stand alone driver subsystem.


Yes, I understand that, but the Open Source (GPL) type of software runs in Linux and without the PPC of the NG Amigas one would have a hard time in converting it without AmiCygnix.  But feel free to go ahead and do so, I'll look forward to your efforts.

Ah, I see.  You were referring to GhostScript as running on the Amiga which it has been for years and is part of TurboPrint.  As I understood it, Gimp-print was different than GS.
