That is, of course, one major problem. EPSON, for example, won't let us
release optimized print drivers for the GIMP because of NDA limits for
the first year or so (the docos eventually become generally available
once EPSON has their next generation of hardware).

I'll make it known that the software will be freely available to them
when (and if) I contact them through ESP (no pun intended... :), so
it'll be up to them whether or not we can distribute source for the
backend...
