Panther ships with Gimp-Print 4.2.5 built in. Version 4.2.6 was released today. Any opinions as to whether it's a worthwhile install? Panther printing already works well for me.

Maybe 10.3.3 will include the new printing software.

I installed it, no problems yet. If you look at the change list, not much is different so you might as well stick to old version if you do not need features of the new.

Actually, I don't even think I'm using Gimp-Print. If I understand correctly, it's just another set of CUPS compatible drivers, which you have to do the Advanced setup to use. Is that right?

Yes, you are right. I just downloaded 4.2.6 today and installed along with ghostscript (not needed with Panther, but I am still on X.2.8) so I could print via a wireless print server. Works Beautifully!
Somewhere out there is my sanity..... but I'm not looking for it!
