EPSOn DX5000 Gutenprint stripes

So my wife has an EPSON DX5000 inkjet printer. It worked fine on photocopys and printing from a memory card, but using the Gutenprint driver on her Mac it printed photos with lines or stripes on.

It turns out that in the print menu setting Printer Features Extra 2
Print Direction->Unidirectional and maybe Interleave to Alternate Fill fixed the problem.

Wife and daughter happy printing photos now.


I think the DX5000 is called a CX5000 in the US.
