I happen to have the exact same printer, never used it under Windows. I run it
with Gutenprint 5.0.0-3 to my entire satisfaction, but I always use Gimp for
printing. That said, I can also print from digikam without the bad effects
you have, just with a insufficient user interface.
Judging from your examples, something very fundamental is wrong. Are you sure
you don't have a CYMK setup?
