Gutenprint, formerly named Gimp-Print, is a suite of printer drivers that may be used with most common UNIX print spooling systems, including CUPS, lpr, LPRng, or others. These drivers provide high quality printing for UNIX (including Macintosh OS X 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5) and Linux systems that in many cases equal or exceed proprietary vendor-supplied drivers in quality and functionality, and can be used for demanding printing tasks requiring flexibility and high quality.

This software package includes an enhanced Print plug-in for GIMP that replaces the plug-in packaged with GIMP, and Ghostscript and CUPS drivers, as well as Foomatic data supporting the Ghostscript driver. Gutenprint has been renamed in order to clearly distinguish it from GIMP. While this package started out as the original Print plugin for GIMP, it has expanded into a collection of general purpose printer drivers, and the new, enhanced Print plugin for GIMP is now only a small part of the package. Furthermore, the name Gutenprint recognizes Johannes Gutenberg, the inventor of the movable type printing press.

Finally, the word 'guten' means 'good' in German. Gutenprint currently supports over 600 printer models. Gutenprint 5.1.5 is a development release of Gutenprint 5.1. NOTE TO PACKAGERS: This is a DEVELOPMENT version of Gutenprint. It should not be packaged as the principal release of Gutenprint in any OS or distribution release.

The most recent stable release (the release with the second number being even - for example, 5.0.1) should be used for that. If you need a bug fix from the development release, you should backport it to the stable release if possible. If you really think you need the development release, please contact us at gimp-print-devel@. Well in advance of your packaging deadline to discuss your particular needs with us. We normally back port bug fixes from the development release to the next stable release, and we back port new printers and new capabilities if we determine it's safe to. By all means feel free to deliver this release as a 'gutenprint-unstable' release if you want to make bleeding edge packages available as an option. A) NEW FEATURES AND FIXES IN GUTENPRINT 5.1.5: 1) New printers supported in this release:.

Epson inkjet printers: EPSON Stylus C110 EPSON Stylus C120 EPSON Stylus D120 EPSON PX V780. PCL laser printers: Sharp AR-M257 2) Preliminary support for the following printers:. Canon inkjet printers: Canon PIXMA iP8500 Canon PIXMA Pro 9500 Canon PIXMA MP610 Canon i80 3) The printer maintenance utility for EPSON inkjet printers, escputil, now reports status more reliably. Previously some people reported errors of the form 'Unknown IEEE 1284.4 error'; these errors have been resolved. In addition, escputil now correctly reports the ink color for certain printers (in particular, printers using Claria (TM) inks and printers using alternate ink cartridges (for example, the Stylus Photo 1400 that allows either a photo black or a matte black ink cartridge to be installed).

4) A few remaining problems with the PPD files have been fixed (paper sizes for certain dye sublimation printers, and 'Okidata' has been renamed 'Oki' to match the PPD specification for that manufacturer). 5) A new dither algorithm, Ordered New, has been added. This dither algorithm is most likely to improve output at low resolutions, particularly when printing black and white. It will only help on printers offering multiple drop sizes. 6) The color correction for the Canon PIXMA iP4200 has been improved. 7) The PPD file parsing code in the Postscript driver has been rewritten. We determined that the PPD file parsing code in the Postscript driver was actually borrowed from CUPS, which is licensed under the LGPL v2 and GPL v2 only.

However, the remainder of the core of Gutenprint is licensed under GPL v2 or higher. This is not directly a license conflict - it is permissible to mix code licensed under the GPL v2 with code licensed under GPL v2 or above - but it means that Gutenprint (5.1.3 and 5.1.4, the two releases that used this code) itself could only be licensed under GPL v2, which is not the desire of this project, as it would not permit usage with code licensed under GPL v3 (or higher) only.

To resolve this, we wrote new PPD file parsing code that is licensed under GPL v2 or above. Therefore, Gutenprint may now be used with any code licensed as GPL v2 or any later version of the GPL. 8) The CUPS driver in Gutenprint, and all associated utilities, are now licensed as GPL v2 or higher. That code was previously licensed as GPL v2 only. While that did not cause any direct problems, since the CUPS driver does not form a library that other code may wish to link against, it was licensed differently from the rest of the Gutenprint project. That is now resolved, and the entire Gutenprint code base is now licensed as GPL v2 or higher.

Project lead for Gutenprint - 'Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works.' -Eric Crampton. A Mac OS X installer for Gutenprint 5.0.2-beta1 (5.0.1.98.1) is now available. This release is a Universal Binary and contains all the bug fixes and support for additional printers detailed in the Gutenprint 5.0.2-beta1 announcement. Of particular importance to Mac OS X users is that this stable branch release fixes an issue in Mac OSX 10.5.x (Leopard) where the printing system was not obtaining the proper resolution from the Print Quality setting and was defaulting to the lowest printer resolution found. Also included in this release is the 'Gutenprint Utility for EPSON Inkjet Printers'.

This is a text based interface to the command line escputil. Mac OS X users can now simply double click on this wrapper shell script and be lead through the process of running a nozzle check, cleaning the heads, and aligning the heads for those EPSON printers supported by the Gutenprint drivers. The updated Mac OS X uninstaller is also included with this distribution. Matt Broughton Only relatives are absolute. Welcome to Gutenprint 5.0.2-beta1 (5.0.1.98.1)!

Gutenprint 5.1.4 is a development release of Gutenprint 5.1. NOTE TO PACKAGERS: This is a DEVELOPMENT version of Gutenprint. It should not be packaged as the principal release of Gutenprint in any OS or distribution release. The most recent stable release (the release with the second number being even - for example, 5.0.1) should be used for that.

If you need a bug fix from the development release, you should backport it to the stable release if possible. If you really think you need the development release, please contact us at gimp-print-devel@. Well in advance of your packaging deadline to discuss your particular needs with us. We normally back port bug fixes from the development release to the next stable release, and we back port new printers and new capabilities if we determine it's safe to. By all means feel free to deliver this release as a 'gutenprint-unstable' release if you want to make bleeding edge packages available as an option.

These release notes contain the following sections: I) General Requirements II) Changes from Previous Releases A) New features in 5.1.4 B) New features in 5.1.3 C) New features in 5.1.2 D) New features in 5.1.1 E) New features in 5.1.0 III) Exceptions and Workarounds A) General Issues B) Build/Installation Issues I) GENERAL REQUIREMENTS Gutenprint will run on any reasonably modern computer running Linux, Macintosh OS X (10.2 or above), Solaris, or any other UNIX-like operating system. If you plan to compile this package from source, you will also need an ANSI C compiler, such as gcc (recommended). A compiler is not required if you are installing a pre-compiled package. Processor and memory requirements vary depending upon the printer and runtime options selected; it is suggested that you have at least 64 MB of memory for general purpose printing, 256 MB or more for high quality printing on a good printer, and 1 GB or more for large format printing at high resolution.

You should have at least 50 MB of free disk space to compile and install Gutenprint. Disk space requirements for printing will vary depending upon how you use Gutenprint, but are generally modest except as noted below.

We recommend a processor speed of at least 300 MHz. Fast printers may require a faster processor to achieve maximum printing speed. For general use, you should have the Common UNIX Printing System, CUPS (version 1.1.15 or above) or Foomatic (2.0 or above) installed. Please the rest of the release notes, in particular the Exceptions and Workarounds, for full details on installation, as there is important information to be aware of. CUPS is the printing system used on Macintosh OS X 10.2 and above, and many other systems use it. The combination of CUPS and Gutenprint provides a flexible, general purpose printing system capable of producing the highest quality output with any of the printers supported by this package. We strongly recommend using CUPS with Gutenprint as a general-purpose printing solution.

The enhanced Print plug-in for GIMP requires GIMP 2.0 or above (GIMP 2.2 recommended). This plug-in will work with any printing system, and offers a comprehensive user interface to control all aspects of the printing process. If you are printing photographs in large format from GIMP at very high resolution, disk space requirements may be substantial, and we recommend at least 2 GB of free disk space for that purpose. The Ghostscript driver requires GNU Ghostscript 6.53 or higher, ESP Ghostscript 7.05 or higher, or AFPL Ghostscript 7.04 or higher.

It uses the IJS package included with these versions of Ghostscript to create a driver that may be built much more easily than traditional Ghostscript drivers. This driver should be used in conjunction with Foomatic to configure printers. Users of Macintosh OS X 10.2 (Jaguar), 10.3 (Panther), 10.4 (Tiger), and 10.5 (Leopard) can use this package, as the printing system is based on CUPS. For ease of installation, a pre-built package with installer is normally supplied a few days after the release of the source package. We strongly recommend that OS X users use the pre-built package rather than attempt to build it themselves. NOTE: This package will not work with any version of OS X 10.0 and 10.1 (such as 10.1.5). The printing system used with these versions of OS X is not compatible with Gutenprint.

OS X 10.2 and above use CUPS as the basis of the printing system, which is compatible with Gutenprint. The README file included with this package provides full instructions for building and installing Gutenprint.

The Gutenprint uninstaller for Mac OS X has been updated. It can now remove the Gutenprint drivers Apple supplied with Mac OS X 10.5.x (Leopard). The Gutenprint uninstaller will completely remove any version of Gutenprint/Gimp-Print that was installed with an official Mac OS X installer package provided by the Gimp-Print project. It will also remove the version of Gutenprint/Gimp-Print that is included by default with Mac OS X 'Panther' (Mac OS X 10.3.x), Mac OS X 'Tiger' (Mac OS X 10.4.x), and Mac OS X 'Leopard' (MacOS X 10.5.x).
