* Changes from 5.2.2
1) CUPS PPD files in non-English locales are now generated
correctly when the CUPS driver interface is used (with CUPS 1.2
and above).
2) Epson inkjet printers that support duplex printing now use less
restrictive margins (allowing use of more of the page) when
duplex printing is not used.
3) Printing to the following Epson printers has been corrected:
EPSON Artisan 700
EPSON Artisan 800
EPSON BX300F
EPSON EP-801A
EPSON EP-901A
EPSON EP-901F
EPSON ME 300
EPSON ME Office 360
EPSON PX-401A
EPSON Stylus NX100
EPSON Stylus NX105
EPSON Stylus Photo PX700FW
EPSON Stylus Photo PX800FW
EPSON Stylus Photo TX700W
EPSON Stylus Photo TX800W
EPSON Stylus S20
EPSON Stylus SX100
EPSON Stylus SX105
EPSON Stylus T20
EPSON Stylus TX100
EPSON Stylus TX101
EPSON Stylus TX102
EPSON Stylus TX103
EPSON Stylus TX105
EPSON Stylus TX106
EPSON Stylus TX109
EPSON TX300F
These printers should all be fully functional, but may be
further tuned in the future.
4) Duplex printing has been enabled on the Epson Stylus RX680,
RX685, RX690, PM-A940, and PM-T960. Support for these printers
is still considered experimental.
5) Support has been added for the Canon MULTIPASS MP220.
6) Preliminary support has been added for the Canon PIXMA iP4600.
Gutenprint is a package of high quality printer drivers for Linux,
BSD, Solaris, IRIX, and other UNIX-alike operating systems. In many
cases, these drivers rival or exceed the OEM drivers in quality and
functionality. Our goal is to produce the highest possible output
quality from all supported printers. To that end, we have done
extensive work on screening algorithms, color generation, and printer
feature utilization. We are continuing our work in all of these areas
to produce ever higher quality results, particularly on the
ubiquitous, inexpensive inkjet printers that are nonetheless capable
of nearly photographic output quality. Earlier versions of Gutenprint
were called gimp-print.
This package contains the base library, the Epson utility escputil,
cups support, and a gimp2 plugin.
