That's right, stp (aka "gimp-print") is a driver mainly used
for photo printing, but it works exceptionally well on other
stuff, too. The main problem is the speed (or the lack of,
actually).

For low-resolution printing I think uniprint can be used as
a replacement, it's much faster at the expense of poor
dithering.

You can even use the stcolor driver (which does really well
on grayscale output), and there's also a driver especially
for the 880 (I think it's called st880).

Just get 'em all and try...
