Tell us if there's a beta available, love to try it out.
It pains me to see the crashes from netprinter, lpr and the likes when trying to print lots of pages when on the pc side everything runs fine :-/
At least i know the printer is good

Uhh, you mean even IF we get a gutenprint driver i'm still stuck with the crashy netprinter/lpr solution?
Bah, that would be a drawback

Not necessarily, but it seems likely. If the lpr stuff is crashing, it'll crash no matter what data you send through it, so changing the driver is unlikely to make a difference.
Having said that, I'm surprised both netprinter *and* lpr.device are crashing for you. I found lpr.device to be quite unstable but netprinter generally didn't crash (it didn't work either, but I think that was my router causing problems as I had various other network glitches which seem to have gone since I've replaced it)
Well, netprinter is a little more forgiving, but i end up having to use the same method for printing as with lpr (raw, port 9100) and both choke when i send more than one page...or even at the first one, depends how the weather is probably

I see you have had some issues with others over at aw.net but please tell us here why the sudden change in gutenprint development?? If it's motivation I'm sure we can muster up a decent bounty between all camps as the printing substructure desperately needs overhauling for all Amiga/like OS's.
I think it's something to do with getting print job information. PJL is for that, anyway. I'd not heard of EJL - at a guess it's getting a print job ID.
