[Gimp-print-devel] 5.3.5 release blocker

[Solomon P. <pi...@sh...>]

The short version: It's being held up by release blocker bugs.

The current holdup is a nasty margin-related bug that manifests itself 
as garbled printouts when producing 2x6" strips, but only with certian 
dyesub models and even then, depending on how the printjob is submitted 
to CUPS (eg as a pdf vs jpeg) it doesn't occur.

Essentially, the image data is submitted in a portrait orientiation, but 
needs to be rotated as the printer needs landscape oriented data, but 
under some circumstances (where there is a non-zero non-printable margin 
on the LEFT side) this transformation isn't being performed properly, 
but the data is read out as if it has.

I was able to work around the problem insofar as the rotation now always 
occurs, but I noticed the first colunm (or four) of the output data is 
still being garbled.  There is clearly still a boundary off-by-one error 
going on, and I strongly suspect it has been here for a _long_ time, but 
is not normally visible as it falls outside of page margins.

While trying to hunt this one down, I've been cleaning up many of the 
spurious build warnings to hopefully expose stuff that matters, but 
managed to introduce outright crashes in the injket dithering code along 
the way.  Turns out there are some real bugs lurking there too, likely 
of the "cancel each other out" variety.

(Ah, the joy of technical debt in a 25-year-old codebase..)

Perhaps this is an obvious question, but _how_ are you printing things 
(eg from the cmdline, an appliation, mobile device, etc).

Secondly, what media is loaded into the printer, and what print size did 
you select when printing?  

The SELPHY family only allows printing a single size for each size of 
media.  It is also possible for the loaded ribbon to not match the 
loaded paper, which would also lead to that error.

What "newer version" are you referring to?  You mentioned you installed 
gutenprint manually, what version did you start with?

[Gimp-print-devel] Canon Selphy CP510 on Linux Mint

[Felix L. <f....@po...>]

Hello,

i'm new in using Linux.

I startet using Linux Mint 22.1 and tried to use my old PhotoPrinter 
Canon Selphy CP510.
But when i try to print a photo it doesn`t work: "Incorrect Paper loaded"

I installed in two different ways: manual (as written in "readme") and 
from Linux' application management.
Both ways with the same result.


I searched different forums. I found an text, that it worked on 
gutenprint 5.3.3, but after updating to newer version printing failed.


Does the latest version still have this issue?

Thanks for your help!

Best regards

Felix

[Gimp-print-devel] I have no problems - I just want to thank you

[obaseun o. <oba...@li...>]

Good Day jlabovitz, rlk, sletter1, and speachy!

I hope you’re having a brilliant time wherever you are. 

I won’t waste much of your time - all I want to say is that I am EXTREMELY grateful for the work every single person involved in this project has done over the years.

I recently replaced my windows gaming laptop with an M4 Mac (my first apple computer) and I was extremely annoyed to find that even Canon was no longer providing MacOS support/drivers for my pixma MP499 - almost gave up and started putting money aside for a new printer till I looked around and Reddit pointed me to this project.

5 minutes later, driver is installed and I can print wirelessly, thanks to all of you.


If possible, please show this email to everyone reponsible for creating this Gutenprint - You are appreciated, and I wanted to take the time to give thanks for the often thankless work you do.


Best regards,

An EXTREMELY appreciative user,
Obaseun

Worked. But now it complains about something else:

 done.

Ah, I see what it is.  I asked you to run:

  cups-genppd.5.3 -Z -p /tmp scp2-fujifilm-dx100

there should be an 'e' before 'scp2', ie:

  cups-genppd.5.3 -Z -p /tmp escp2-fujifilm-dx100

It was a cut-n-paste error, sorry for that.

So,
I did git pull
did ./autogen.sh;./configure;make;sudo make install
then I ran make check-parallel
log file is still clean, cups-genppd.5.3 still doesn't create output.
system is fedora rawhide.
what in the world I'm doing wrong? tried it three times, with
distclean twice and with fresh pull once. still the same result.

Hello,
Removed system-installed gutenprint package and tried again, again
success, no complaints.
To do it one by one, I tried to run command you suggested from src/cups

[temuri@fedora cups]$ ./cups-genppd.5.3 -Z -p /tmp scp2-fujifilm-dx100
 done.
But no new file appears in /tmp

Is there a version of gutenprint already installed? It's possible
that is being used by the tests instead.

A less efficient method is to manually generate some PPD files and run 
those through cupstestppd.  For example:

$ cups-genppd.5.3 -Z -p /tmp scp2-fujifilm-dx100
 done.
$ cupstestppd /tmp/stp-scp2-fujifilm-dx100.5.3.ppd

      **FAIL**  Unable to open PPD file - Illegal translation string on line 10148.
                REF: Page 27, section 3.5.

Line 10148 is:

  *ka.Translation StpiShrinkOutput/თუ საჭიროა, საზღვრებში ჩასატევად გვერდის დაპატარავება: ""

Those 53 characters encode into 147 bytes, well over the 80 byte PPD limit.

Fix that, repeat the process until you get no more errors..

FWIW It would probably not be too hard to write a script to to extract 
all 'ka.' strings from the PPD and calculate a length check across each.

....Try it and see?   Start with the P800 and go from there.

The main differences are a new ink set and support for a higher 
resolution mode.

If that appears to mostly work, then you'll need to create a set of XML 
data files for the inkset and underlying model, this commit (for the 
SL-D700) shows what's needed:

  597efe256b6e0ea8ffc48d780371cd67983a4e4c

That said, Epson claims this model supports AirPrint (ie Driverless/IPP 
Everywhere) so that will probably yield much better results than 
Gutenprint in the short-to-medium term.  

Longer term, Gutenprint's output will get better, but that requires you 
to be willing to go through the effort and expense (ie ink+paper) of 
carefully tuning all the knobs.

Re: [Gimp-print-devel] [SPAM] DPD string length for Georgian

[Temuri D. <tem...@gm...>]

Hello,
Mea culpa about PPD :)

Please, see src/cups/test-ppds.log below. Did it twice, after doing
make distclean.
System is fedora rawhide.

make is still doing something, but it's well past of this particular
check, so I didn't step back to stop it, I doubt it will come back to
src/cups/test-ppds.log again. If it will, tell me please and I'll run
it until it'll finish everything.
Output on make screen:

FYI it is 'PPD' not 'DPD'  :)

(For anyone else that's reading this, the problem is that one Georgian 
"character" typically takes up more than one byte when encoded into 
UTF-8. So even though a translated string may be less than 80 
_characters_ it can take over 80 bytes to store/represent it in the PPD 
file)

Only strings that can end up in the PPD file are affected, but I'm not 
sure of a simple way to flag the ones that are potentially problematic.

You'll need to re-enable the Georgian language in configure.ac, re-run 
autogen.sh and do a build, generate a buch of PPD files, and pass those 
files through 'cupstestppd'

You can run 'make check-parallel' to do this automatically (after 
running ./autogen.sh first), but it will take a couple of hours to 
complete unless you have a beefy system.  The failures will show up in 
src/cups/test-ppds.log.

[Gimp-print-devel] DPD string length for Georgian

[Temuri D. <tem...@gm...>]

Hello,
My name is Temuri and I do translations of various software to
Georgian in my free time.
I've done translation of gutenprint several months ago, but several
days ago I have noticed that it's disabled. Asked Zdenek Dohnal and I
was told that several DPD strings are bigger than 80 bytes, which is
unsupported. Could you please tell me how can I filter out strings
which are breaking this rule? I believe not all strings are under this
restriction.

BR, Temuri

[Gimp-print-devel] Support for the epson Sc-P900

[<def...@du...>]

Hi gutenprint team,

I was wondering what is the state of development of gutenprint, (still 
active or not). I have a sc-P900 epson printer, and I would be glad to 
be able to use it with gutenprint. Do you think it is worth trying ? I 
have a spectrophotometer probe, some knowledge about programming. Let 
met know !

Best,
Yann

[Gimp-print-devel] Uninstall the software

[RICHARD B. <be...@ao...>]

Hi

I have installed the Gluten Print software on my new Mac book pro M4 with the OS 15.2.

Sadly it doesn’t allow my Printer to work - it was a long shot……..

How do I remove the software from my Mac Book?

Can you advise please?

Richard
