Comments

Ed: The gimp-print "stp" driver also supports this printer with the best color results. Plain 740's are a bit hard to find, but the 740i models designed to match the iMac are in fact no different and come in several colors...

DEPontius at usa.net is working on upp files for 700 series; his work is somewhat moot given the stp driver.
4 color CMYK printing with 48 jets per color.
