 Nah, it's definitly stp. That's the epson driver that the gimp-print
driver for ghostscript is called (requires manually patching the source).

 I think what's up is the original (crappy) ghostscript drive for it
squirter ink badly, so the headers are dirty/blocked (as it doesn't print
well in windows either) - but the head cleaning program doesn't seem to do
much good (I've run it ten times, and it gets a littel better each
time...but not much - and now it's stopped impoving..)
