Bug Description
When printing in photo quality on glossy paper, the printer drops far too much ink. So much that it may flow on the paper if I incline it. When the ink is dry, we can see some marks that show where it has accumulated.
I use default settings for the printer.
It happens with a live USB too, so doesn't come from an upgrade.
System: Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex
Printer: Epson Stylus Photo R285
Driver: CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.0-rc1
Note: this didn't happen with Hardy (gutenprint v5.0.2), may therefore be related to gutenprint.
