   Has anyone seen this problem?  Here is my post  to Suse forum so far but 
   have'nt got answer so far.  I am still experiencing this problem.

   I am using SuSE 9.1 and the epson color 740 is printing unwanted 
   horizontal line throughout the page. I don't think it is a printer 
   problem since I did not get this in SuSE 9.0. I have upgraded the cups 
   driver 'cups-1.1.20-103', 'cups-drivers-1.1.20-66.1' and the latest 
   gimp-print ' gimp-print-5.0.0-alpha2-1'. I selected the PPD file in Yast 
   as Foomatic/gimp-print for the epson 740.

   The printer prints ok but these horizontal lines appear throughout the 
   page. I have been searching the web but can't get answer.

   Anybody got the same

Are the unwanted lines white (ink is missing) or extra ink?
