Re: What I'm up to

   I'm getting nervous about this.  It's trickier than I first thought.
   Among other things, it causes problems with PPD file generation and
   Foomatic.

   I suppose this could be handled by keeping around all of the different
   Epson drivers, but that still wouldn't entirely solve the PPD file
   issues, and it would defeat some of the purpose.

   What I think I'll do is do the parameter syntax changes (which are
   fully compatible, and give us a lot more power), but the printer
   vs. driver stuff will wait for 5.1.

I wound up checking in just the changes to the parameter syntax.  The
printers.xml file looks like this:

      <printer name="EPSON Stylus C43UX" driver="escp2-c43ux" 
manufacturer="Epson" model="43">
        <parameter type="float" name="MagentaGamma">0.95</parameter>
        <parameter type="float" name="YellowGamma">0.9</parameter>
        <parameter type="float" name="Gamma">0.731</parameter>
        <parameter type="float" name="Density">1.0</parameter>
      </printer>
