Hi,

We're still having issues with Big Sur and Gutenprint.  One of our Macintosh maintainers should be
able to provide an update on what's happening.

[Gimp-print-devel] what are the chances of you adding a driver for OKI c8600?

[Jo M. S. H. <jom...@gm...>]

I don’t know how any of this development works, or how you add or test drivers, but it would be amazing if you did!
The OKI c8600 is amazing! and mine is in prime condition, ready to print for many years… if only i can get it to work with my new computer!

(probably going to get my old computer fixed sooner or later, more or less ONLY because of this fantastic printer! haha)

Good work, and hope to hear from you

[Gimp-print-devel] Epson Stylus SX130

[Carlos G. <ins...@gm...>]

I have a SX130 and find that it seems not to be supported by the 
escputil tool. Namely, I need to align my print heads. I have tried by 
faking the model and pretending it was a SX110, SX115 and SX200 with no 
success.

Since it is not supported directly, do you know if it has been reported 
to be able to perform these operations by passing another model as -m 
parameter or in any other way?

The printer works perfectly, but I simply need to find a tool to align 
the heads, which seems missing in my debian system.

Thanks for your help.

[Gimp-print-devel] When is the next version release?

[Daniel M. <dan...@go...>]

Hi,

I was wondering when there would be a new version of Gutenprint.

I have been very grateful for Gutenprint keeping my old but great Canon printer going this last year with my MacBook, but now I’ve upgraded to Big Sur and the driver comes up with an error.

It’s been a few years since 5.3.3, and I was hoping there might be a new version soon, or some other way to get the driver working again.

And thanks for all,

[Gimp-print-devel] Gutenprint driver Big Sur - Fujifilm ask 2500

[Alessandro <ale...@fo...>]

Hi,
I’m having trouble setting up a old printer with the new mac mini m1 and the new os x.
I have an old Fujifilm Ask-2500 connected to a fritz box with usb share. I also tried all the below steps by connecting directly to usb.
I have installed everything correctly and I can print from the mac and other Windows computers. The problem is that when i print with Mac Os through gutenprint, the print is super low quality and the colors are not correct. I installed the correct ICC profile and tried many combination in the priter setting, like raw color, don’t process color, b&w, ecc. But every time I cannot’ have a correct print.
Do you have any suggestion on how to correct the information the mac send to the printer and have corrects light/colors?

Thanks, kind regards.
Alessandro

[Gimp-print-devel] Big files sending to printer problem.

[ragip a. <ra_...@ya...>]

Hello,
I hope you are all doing well and everything is fine.
In the very past time it was very hard for me to use your drivers in printing since I am no coder or was familiar with Linux.But in the late years with the easy installations of Linux I am printing with Guten Print and loving it.It really beats the thousand dolar rip software in precision.I thank you very much for providing this to us.
I own an Epson Stylus Pro 4900 and I recently tried an Epson SC P8000.My problem is in my works I need to print at least 720 ppi resolution.It was working fine on my printer which is A2 size, 42cm wide.But when I tried a 1 meter x 1 meter print on the  much longer Epson SC P8000 I couldn't send the file to the printer.I tried a 40 cm x 40 cm smaller one which worked fine like it worked on my own printer.File details are as follows;
Resolution: 28346 x 28356 pixels720 ppi  1 meter x 1 meterFile size is: 2.24 GBtif format
I am running Ubuntu Studio with default usb image installation.And printig from the ready came Gimp software.
And my questions are;- Is there a problem with my setup?- Or isn't it possible to print such sizes? What are the limits?- And if it is possible can you please show me a direction how I can do it.
Many Thanks in advance,
Have A Beautiful Day,
RAGIP AKYILDIZ0532 549 03 74

Re: [Gimp-print-devel] Printing Problems under OS X

[Benjamin R. <ta...@br...>]

I solved the Problem, it was a misconfiguration in the custom paper format.
The Gutenprint preset has a non printable area of top: 3,18mm and bottom: 14,11mm,
in my settings it was mistakenly set to top:5mm and bottom: 15mm.
Now the size is accurate.
Sorry to bother you

[Gimp-print-devel] Printing Problems under OS X

[Benjamin R. <ta...@br...>]

Dear Gutenprint Team,

thank your for this Driver, the oputput is very good. Colors are finer than printing with the standard Epson driver.
I am running a Epson 7900 with Gutenprint 5.3.3 and I have a problem with the size of the output Material.

When I print on a sheet with for example 610x160mm, with a graphic of 160x80mm. Then the Graphics height is distorted about 10mm,
so that the size of the graphic is 160x90mm.

In the driver I turned on in „Shrink page if necessary: Crop (preserve dimensions) and „Borderless: No“.

Any Idea where this is coming from and what I can do to change it?

Best Regards,

Benjamin

Further searching the web I found at

   https://www.canon.co.uk/support/consumer_products/products/fax__multifunctionals/inkjet/maxify_mb_series/maxify_mb5150.html?type=drivers&driverdetailid=tcm:14-1533036&os=linux%20%2864-bit%29&language=en

that Canon offers  a Fedora/Ubuntu  printer driver "cnijfilter2" version
5.40-1 for the Maxify MB5150 for downloading.  But since there is also a
Gentoo package  "net-print/cnijfilter2" version 5.90  I preferred to in-
stall that instead.

Trying to print a test page via Cups  failed as it did before:  the text
"Printer Test Page" was printed in light grey on the first sheet of pap-
er and then the printer started to empty the paper tray.

So I cycled power on the printer,  rebooted my laptop,  and again sent a
test page  from Cups.   This time nothing happened.   The printer didn't
even flinch and the print job is still pending.

Question: is this driver not required in my case,  or what else is going
on here?

Sincerely,
  Rainer

Re: [Gimp-print-devel] No printing: Gentoo + Gutenprint 5.3.3-r2 + Canon Maxify MB5150

[Gernot H. <aik...@gm...>]

Hello Rainer,
It is quite possible that the MB5100 series is not working properly yet.
I seem to recall that the options related to paper tray, and the sizes
of papers that were able to be used with each of the trays, were quite
complex. I have not checked whether anyone else has reported back on
the MB5100, but can you please communicate with me offline for
specifics of debugging use of the options/defaults. Since you use
Gentoo it is likely I can make some changes to the code, and send you
test jobs which you can send raw to the printer from the command line
to see whether the MB5100 behaviour matches expectations.

It is also possible that there could be problems with the usage on
network connections, so ideally we would like to debug using a USB
connection, if that is feasible.

Best regards,
Gernot Hassenpflug

I do not know if this accurate or not.  When Big Sur was first released, the HP drivers did not work.  I don’t know if they have resolved the issues.  Unfortunately, I don’t think many of the new HP models will work with Gutenprint.  Many of them do not use a command set that Gutenprint supports.

Rainer,

It would be useful to know:

- What driver you are using with the printer?
- What version of CUPS comes with your Gentoo

There have been a number of bug fixes in CUPS' support of Canon AirPrint/Mopria-compatible printers (like this one) over the last year, so it is possible you are just running into a known CUPS bug.

[Gimp-print-devel] No printing: Gentoo + Gutenprint 5.3.3-r2 + Canon Maxify MB5150

[Dr R. W. <rai...@gm...>]

Greetings,

having just replaced my old Canon Pixma MX885 with a Canon Maxify MB5150
I find myself not being able to print to this printer from Gentoo (works
from Windoze, however, so it's not the printer).

Printing a test page directly from within Cups on Gentoo  prints a light
grey "Printer Test Page" line  on the first sheet  picked from the paper
tray and then moves all paper  from the source paper tray  to the output
paper tray until the former is empty.   And when printing a one page PDF
from within Okular  it doesn't print anything at all  but directly moves
all paper from the input to the output tray.

File "/var/log/cups/error.log"  does contain entries,  but none that did
not already occur with the old Pixma.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?  

Any hints appreciated ...

  Rainer

Re: [Gimp-print-devel] Double-sided printing with CUPS + Gutenprint v5.3.3

[Teodoro C. <teo...@gm...>]

Maybe the question is from inexperienced, but ESC/P commands and plumbing
can't be captured by other open source drivers?
Thee latter work well for my printer, but they lack a lot of configurations
that your drivers have.

The HP LaserJet uses a driver that is specific to only a few printers.  It uses a printer language that Gutenprint does not support.  Gutenprint does not have a maintainer to devolve such a driver.

Re: [Gimp-print-devel] Double-sided printing with CUPS + Gutenprint v5.3.3

[Michael S. <ms...@ms...>]

Teodoro,

If you are using a current Linux distribution (anything in the last couple years) then you should be able to just use the IPP Everywhere driver with this printer since it supports AirPrint and Mopria (both IPP), and that driver will give your duplex support.

That said, I'm not sure what we would need to do to add duplex printing support for the printers that support it - the HP PCL3GUI commands are fairly well-known, but we'd need to research the ESC/P command(s) that Epson has added for duplex support.  Plus whatever plumbing would be needed to keep track of the current page (to know when to eject the page vs. when to pull the page back for printing the other side...)
