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, and 10.4) 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 the Print plug-in for the GIMP and Ghostscript and CUPS drivers, as well as Foomatic data.
Gutenprint provides a very high quality package of printer drivers for Ghostscript and CUPS.
To install the drivers please read the “Setting up printers” PDF which is included with the download.
· Improved tunings for Epson printers using Claria inks.
· The driver for the Stylus Photo 1400 has two separate quality settings for 720x360 and 720 DPI. The 720x360 DPI Enhanced and 720 DPI High Quality options offer improved quality at some cost in printing speed. The small format Claria-based printers (R260, R390, RX580, and related printers) offer 720x360 and 720 DPI modes approximately equal in quality to the Enhanced and High Quality modes on the 1400 without a speed penalty.
· A problem whereby in some situations printers using Claria inks did not print black ink has been fixed.
· A problem with the Postscript driver always printing in grayscale has been fixed. This problem was apparently introduced in 5.1.1.
· The range of sizes for printing custom CD's has been extended
· down to 65 mm in both the Epson and Canon drivers.
· The Epson Stylus Photo RX590 is now supported.
· Borderless printing on the Epson Stylus Photo RX400, RX420, RX425, RX430, RX500, RX510, RX600, RX630, and RX640 now works correctly.
