Which non-free? I know there is a gs-aladdin in /debian/project/experimental that does have the hp850 driver compiled in. I used magicfilter, but had to kludge: took a second copy of the dj550c filter and rewrote the Postscript lines with the parameters mentioned in the readme about that driver in the mentioned gs-aladdin package. The results with this filter have been far better in the past than just the dj550c filter. Contact me for a filter. I wrote separate filters (hence defined separate printers were defined) for various parameters---such as papertype. I haven't gotten to the end of it, and I certainly don't understand it all, but it works ok. Alan Davis -- Alan E.
