Hi, I am using the gutenprint v 5.3.3-4 on Ubuntu 20.04-1 and I notice that when printing photos (I am using 4x6 glossy, photo mode) and pictures have a low bitrate look to them... almost pixelated. I have set DPI to max 600x600 and nothing seems to help. Not sure if this is a potential bug? packages: gimp-*guten*print/focal 5.3.3-4 amd64 *guten*print-doc/focal 5.3.3-4 all *guten*print-locales/focal 5.3.3-4 all lib*guten*print-common/focal,now 5.3.3-4 all [installed,automatic] lib*guten*print-dev/focal 5.3.3-4 amd64 lib*guten*print-doc/focal 5.3.3-4 all lib*guten*print9/focal,now 5.3.3-4 amd64 [installed,automatic] lib*guten*printui2-2/focal 5.3.3-4 amd64 lib*guten*printui2-dev/focal 5.3.3-4 amd64 printer-driver-*guten*print/focal,now 5.3.3-4 amd64 [installed] Cheers! |

Neither the MP130 or the iP1500 (and several other models) are supported. They use a data format which has not been reverse-engineered yet.

Hello, I am interested with a Canon PIXMA MP130 driver (all in one printer/scanner) for Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS. I tried without success the "Canon PIXMA iP1500 - CUPS+Gutenprint (OpenPrinting LSB 3.2) v5.2.7 Simplified and en" and obtained the error message : "Printer configuration error. There is a missing print filter for 'Canon_MP130'". :-( Please, could you help me ? Best regards, -- Jean-Michel LÉPINE Bordeaux, France |

The MG8100 series seems to have an error in the paper tray definition then. I will look into that. 1. IIRC the use of trays in some of the recent models is a bit tricky, depending on media type and size, so to help me perhaps you can tell me whether you are using plain media or something more exotic. 2. The CD tray issue is probably the same thing, an incorrect definition. 3. Please note that CD printing is not working properly, any print will likely not be centered, but I would love to get some help debugging this if you are up for it. Best regards, Gernot Hassenpflug |

Hello, Canon stopped good working printers with "Fehler B200" called "printer death". Some month ago I could revitalize it. But now, all seems lost. After MG 5350 I could buy an old MG 8150 to use my ink storage. But Canon does not support OS X 10.14 and the old driver didn't work at all. After three days of searching I found Guteprint and was very very lucky! So I hadn't to throw away a good working printer. Thank you!!! Now my question: 1. I can't activate the back paper tray 2. when I use "Label print" for CDs it uses the back paper tray. Is there any solution in sight for this problems? Thank you an kind regards Henry Guanter |

Hi, Despite the similarities between the printers, the 1020 does not support the standard printing laguage for laser printers (PCL), and we don't have a way to support it. There may be another driver that does; I'm just not aware of it. |

I’m not a native speaker :) As best as I can determine, this printer uses a printer language that Samsung developed for their own printers. Gutenprint does not support that language or your printer.

I have (had) my own priorities, which are mostly dealt with, apart from the rather large CD issue. So I am happy to look into restructuring code for more flexibility (XML files would enable users to make changes without recompilation, a policy Robert has advocated and implemented in the Epson driver). > I don't even have a CD player, so I'm probably not your CD guy.

I thought all regions have these now). But there is a serious of different CD trays, and the Pro series uses I think the M type which we have not gotten any practical results with since we could not print on any of this series. My main goal initially was to get the calculations and options right, but if you want to help with getting the code separated out into other files that would certainly be a positive thing. The software weaving code I am not really sure about, whether printers actually use it or not. Maybe early models of Canon printers used it, I do not know. So I have never touched the weaving code. Again, if the code would benefit from separation that is fine with me. > It sounds like it makes sense to think hard about IPP, so I'm going to > take a look at it over the next few days and see if I can understand it.

Hi Gernot, Thanks for your quick response. I have to admit, at times I doubted that it would ever work. The first successful low-resolution test page was a tremendous relief, if only the tip of the iceberg. If you want to take a look at what I've done, an easy way would be to simply tar up the gutenprint directory (about 17MB as tar .xz, including the git history) and find a way to send it to you. As far as curves, I did some test prints, and ended up using standard_hue_adjustment, standard_sat_adjustment and ip4200_lum_adjustment in canon-printers.h. I copied them and renamed them to Pro100_*_adjustment so that I can make changes. They're included in the Pro100 printer definition. I don't think I actually tried the MP450 adjustments, but I probably should. There are some things I would like to do to the ink handling, but I need to think about it a little more and discuss it with all of you. The ink structure used in the escp2 driver is significantly more flexible than the canon driver, but I'm not sure I'd want to try to incorporate it. There are a few tweaks that could simplify some of the driver code, I think. And I put a specific Pro100 structure array in print-canon.c, which has to be dealt with. I don't even have a CD player, so I'm probably not your CD guy. In fact, no offense intended, but I'd like to isolate the CD code as much as possible in other files or at least other functions so that I don't have to read past it every time. From what I've seen, that wouldn't be a big job. Same for the code which handles weaving. It sounds like it makes sense to think hard about IPP, so I'm going to take a look at it over the next few days and see if I can understand it. My main concern, having looked at the attributes returned by the Pro-100, is that I'm not sure how to get maximum capability out of it. What would the output format be: urf or pwg-raster - I presume we wouldn't want to try to convert to jpeg before output? If anyone wants to see an example of the output from the printer, I could scan a couple of prints.

Hi Robert, Thanks for your kind words. I've attached a copy of the json file which builds the Gutenprint plugin for flatpak Gimp. Note that the cups driver is built directly from the github repository version, while Gutenprint is built from the latest version checked out from my local repository (it can also be built from a local directory). Both are standard builds, and Gutenprint runs as a Gimp plugin, loaded automatically, just as it does when running native. If anyone needs more complete information about building/running, let me know. [BTW, my background is low-level, process control, C/C++, and I had to learn json to do this, one of the reasons it took me a day or two and is still a little rudimentary.] I can probably run the regression suite - I'm running an Inspiron 13 with i7 and 16GB. Biggest problem with little machines like this is its cooling is marginal, and when running a long compute-intensive process it gets pretty hot. So I may just run with one or two cores. I just got an email from Gernot, so I'll write him next.

I don't know how the existing ones are generated actually, there are 3 to choose from. Those for the iP4200 are apparently tuned to that printer, and may be correct for some other printer models too. Unless one actually has a printer to test, it is not really possible to design matrices. The Canon driver started out as a fork of the (now much more advanced) Epson driver. Robert, is there any background on the matrices in the Epson driver that may help? So, where do I go from here?

I have some understanding of the Canon driver code, since I have been touching it for some years, but I do not have a very clear understanding of ink handling and low-level routines even now unfortunately. Most of my work has been trying to add commands, and various options for the commands.

Good stuff! Do you mean libgutenprint, the Print plugin, or Gutenprint+CUPS? I don't have any experience with Flatpak, but if it's like other container technologies, it needs all of the resources built into the image except for specific external interfaces (it would defeat the purpose to give it host filesystem access).

Hi Gutenprint developers, I want to say how impressed I am with your commitment over all these years, and with the work you've done for all of us. I want to apologize in advance for the length of this. And I also want to apologize for any comments I make which might be construed as disparaging - they're not intended in that way. As a long-time software developer, I understand the tradeoffs that come with any software, and that software has to be written for what is, not what might be in the future. I also realize that I still have a limited understanding of much of the code, so my opinions may be entirely incorrect. I started printing again after a long hiatus, using my old but still very functional Epson 2200. I'm running Centos 7.8 (another story of obsolescence) But I wanted to run the latest Gimp (2.10.22), and Centos 7 supports 2.8.22. I discovered that flatpak offers a runtime for Gimp 2.10.22, but there was no Gutenprint available. It took quite a bit of time, but I built a flatpak version of Gutenprint-5.3.3. It's not as clean as I would like, because the Gimp runtime environment does not include CUPS, so I have to build and install that as well (it's all done as part of a single JSON file). In addition, the Gimp environment has to be modified with overrides: PATH has to be modified to find the CUPS and Gutenprint files, and STP_DATA_PATH has to be added to give access to the XML files. It's functional, and I can print via USB or LPD (using an RPi as the print server); I haven't gotten IPP to work, but it's low on my priority list. In any case, the flatpak version works. Then I came across a pristine Canon Pro-100 for almost nothing and bought it, which has turned out to be a monumental rabbit hole. But I'm retired and have nothing better to do, especially in a pandemic, so I tackled it. With no Gutenprint/CUPS driver, and little or no documentation (that mostly from Gutenprint and Ghostscript, nothing from Canon), it's been a very tedious process of reverse engineering of the command strings. And the Canon printer driver [print-canon.c:canon_setup_channels()] takes an approach to subchannels which doesn't work for the Pro-100, which, as near as I can tell, demands that channels be output in the order CMYcmkHL. In addition, the raster output string [formerly ESC(nn nn F data] has been expanded to take a 4-byte length, and is now ESC(N nn nn nn nn F data. To make a very long, 2-month story short, I have a working Canon Pro-100 under Gutenprint which uses all 8 inks and prints photos which are not perfect, but are of pretty high quality. Images converted to grayscale in Gimp print very well, but I have been unable to get straight monochrome printing (using an inkset consisting of black, gray, and light gray - kHL) to work. I've tried very hard not to break existing code, but obviously there are no guarantees of that. Where I added significant code to handle the Pro-100, I generally did it by creating new functions, which are called only if the printer is PIXMA Pro100. In some cases, I simply added the Pro-100 to an already-existing set of printers in a long if statement. Code was added as necessary for inks, modes, media, etc. The mask protocol in print-canon.h is still a little mysterious to me, but I'm reluctant to mess with it more than necessary. [BTW, I started from a downloaded 5.3.3 tar file. I set up a local git repository with my changes in a Pro100 branch, so all modifications from the canonical version are visible.] Print quality improved dramatically when I included the standard Canon hue, sat and luminosity curves to the Pro-100 printer definition - that was when I realized I might have a really usable driver. But it's still not perfect - I've done some tweaking in the Adjust Output screen, but I'd love to be able to improve the curves and LUTs. Is there a description anywhere of how the hue/sat/lum arrays are generated? So, where do I go from here? This is very close to a driver I can use for my own prints, but it's not production software.

Another possibility is to implement an IPP driver for the printer and try to eliminate the Pro100 ppd entirely. That's an attractive possibility to me, but I'm still vague on the actual process, and I'll have to take another look at the IPP sample code to see just how complicated it will be.

Is there a printer driver for HP Deskjet 932C that works on Mac OS 10.13? A reply would be appreciated. Tony |

Hello, I’ve been searching very long for a driver, that works with the Samsung CLX-3185. I would be very happy, if you could integrate this printer. Yours Sincerely Anton Spieker P.S.: Sorry for my bad English. I’m not a native speaker :) |

Hi, Amazing work on gutenprint, I can get almost anything to work on my RPi server. However: I have a Canon Selphy CP1000, I can print to it from OSX when I share the printer on the RPi with gutenprint/cups but I'd also like to print from an iOS device (that's where the most of the photo's are) But the driver for the CP1000 does not support page selection so it sends the wrong format to my CP1000 and it will not print. On OSX I can select paper size. IS there a way to get paper sizes into this driver? I know how to compile stuff but where to get started on modifying a driver? Kind regards, Gerrit |

It’s part of me having been with me from brand new about 40 years ago until Mac Big Sur. The last time I had issues I installed a generic post script printer driver. Now I seem helpless. Do you have any pending drivers for the HP LaserJet $4? Yes there is a driver for that. Use the LaserJet 4 driver for that. You might also want to try the LaserJet 5 driver. You can download the latest drivers from https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print/files/gutenprint-5.3/5.3.3/gutenprint-5.3.3_rev.dmg/download Matt |

First things first - I love this printer and will do pretty much whatever I can to keep it happily operating. It’s part of me having been with me from brand new about 40 years ago until Mac Big Sur. The last time I had issues I installed a generic post script printer driver. Now I seem helpless. Do you have any pending drivers for the HP LaserJet $4?

It's possible that one of the existing drivers will work (most likely OfficeJet 500, OfficeJet 700, OfficeJet G55, OfficeJet Pro 1150C, OfficeJet R40, or OfficeJet LX -- all of the OfficeJet printers we support use one of those drivers). Otherwise, we do not currently have anyone maintaining this driver, so we're not going to be able to support it unless someone steps up. |

Hello, I am using gutenprint version 5.2.9 on Gimp 2.10 and Windows 10.I am trying with some success to print in black and white (greyscale) with MS six tone. Would it be possible to have more documentation on how to set the values of the "Hextone Gray (1 to 5) Transition" parameters. The instructions in the documentation manual lack a lot of clarity on this topic and I can't find any on Google. I thank you very much, André |

Even if there were, it would most likely be tailored for a laser printer and not have support for color printing. Given that, I cannot "recommend" installing it. If you want, of course you can install it and give it a go. The gneric color driver may work for this. |

In case you didn't get it the first time: I have just checked the HP site and they list a driver for this printer for MacOS 11, which I believe is Big Sur: https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-officejet-4620-e-all-in-one-printer-series/5101229/model/5101234 David Kurtz via Gimp-print-devel wrote: > OK, fair enough.
