[Gimp-print-devel] Epson Colorworks C3500

[Fabian S. <f....@bl...>]

Hello there,

Looking for a solution to use a Epson Colorworks C3500 with mac, I
discovered the Gutenprint project. This is really cool!
Going through the list of supported printers, I didn't find the printer I
was looking for, unfortunately. Might Gutenprint still work for other,
unlisted devices or is the list definite? Also, may the device I am looking
for be known under a different name and is actually supported by
Gutenprint? I believe it's also known as Epson TM C3500, but possibly there
are more names, too...
Otherwise, is there a chance Gutenprint will support the Epson Colorworks
C3500 in the future or do you know of any other applicable solution?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Fabian

[Gimp-print-devel] HP 3600n

[Proud T. <thi...@gm...>]

Hello,

I was hoping that you all might be able to help with a particular issue
I've run into.  I was recently gifted a HP Color LaserJet 3600n.  While
getting it working on Windows was easy enough, I've hit major issues with
my Macs (which are my primary computers).  Sadly, it seems that it is from
an era of printers which HP has completely abandoned any continued Apple
support for, even removing the ability to download the original OS X 10.6
drivers from the HP website.  I've seen numerous forum threads by unhappy
users who are also stuck, but no meaningful solutions.

Is there any solution?  A similar driver that may be compatible? I noticed
that there are not drivers for HP 3400-3600 series printers in Gutenprint -
is it simply that there is no way to make it compatible anymore?

Any advice/assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Colton

Hello Peter
Unfortunately there is no support for the iP1600 (and several other
models like iP1500, iP1700, iP1800, iP1900, iP2500) since they use a
different protocol which has not been reverse-engineered.

Re: [Gimp-print-devel] CANON pixma ip1600 printer driver for MAC os 10.15.3

[Zdenek D. <zd...@re...>]

Hi Peter,

(following advice assumes your printer really support Airprint, the
printer has IPP port - 631 - opened and manual installation in MacOS is
the same as in Linux, since Mac uses CUPS for printing as well - I'm not
Mac user)

Airprint works automatically when your printer and your PC is in the
same subnet.

If they aren't in the same subnet, you need to install your printer
manually via its IP/hostname:

$ sudo lpadmin -p <name_of_your_preference> -v
ipp://<IP/hostname>:631/ipp/print -m everywhere -E

This way you get the permanent 'Airprint' queue on your machine.

[Peter T. <ptu...@gm...>]

Hi There

I have searched the www for a driver to run my printer on a MACBOOK pro os 10.15.3/ 
Canon don’t have a driver for it and using AirPrint does not automatically find one.

Are there places or sites to find such a driver anywhere on the NET??

Do you do this sort of thing. Tried finding a driver on your site but you don’t seem to have it.

Unfortunately, this isn't (currently) available.  It's something that's on our list to do, but

The test page looks good, so I'm confident that gutenprint+cups is 
rendering images properly.

What application did you use to print the image?

I'm using CUPS on a raspberry pi 3b+ and printer is connected over usb and raspberry share directly the printer.

As you can see in the attachment pictures I have trouble to display ink levels , but I don't know if it is because I misconfigured something, a bug from cups and/or Gutenprint, or this feature is not available. Could you help me to clarify where goes it wrong?

It has been a while since i had contact with you. Strange thing at this moment is that when i try to print an image it seems like it prints a negative instead of normal.
I’ve attached a photo of a testpage and an image of a bear.
Am i doing something wrong? Because i can’t set any colors for the printer.

If you're using Ubuntu-provided packages, you should start asking Ubuntu.

You might also want to try building Gutenprint 5.3.3 from source to see if the printer works with
that, and if it doesn't whether it does with 5.3.1.  Instructions for building from source code are
in the README file included with the package, which may be downloaded from
https://gimp-print.sourceforge.net.  Please feel free to contact us if you need assistance building it.

Hi,

after upgrading to the latest LTS Ubuntu version, my old printer Epson 
Stylus D88 stopped to work.

I then downgraded to the gutenprint 5.3.1-7 that was working on the 
previous Ubuntu version my printer works now fine as before.

I see that the latest gutenprint version 5.3.3-4 is forcing the Epson 
Stylus Color drivers to my Stylus D88 and if I send a print job, I get a 
"done " message but nothing happens to the printer.

I hope that it can help.

There's not a lot of real standardization with inkjet printers.  For laser printers, there's PCL,
which isn't universal but which is generally supported on all but very low end laser printers (and
most higher end ones will directly accept PDF input).  But for inkjet printers, there's a lot of
variation.  Epson inkjets have various ESC/P2 and ESCP/R variants, but there's still a lot of
per-printer variation.  HP inkjets at least to use variations on PCL; Canon printers have their own.

You would need to start by sniffing print job data and analyzing it.  It's not an easy process.

Unfortunately, those files can't be bundled with Gutenprint for 
licensing reasons.  Did you grab the most recent release (5.3.3) or a 
newer snapshot?  I'd recommend the latest snapshot:

  https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print/files/snapshots/gutenprint-5.3.4-2020-05-02T01-00-1610ac92.tar.xz/download

Then grab this:

 http://www.shaftnet.org/~pizza/selphy_print-src-b251-g9269194.tar.gz

And run this:

 tar -xzf selphy_print-src-b251-g9269194.tar.gz
 cd selphy_print-b251-g9269194
 cd lib70x
 make

And finally as root:

 make install
 echo "/usr/local/lib" >> /etc/ld.so.conf
 ldconfig

Should work fine after that.

I should mention that the CP9800 has seen significnat enjancements 
recently, so the output quality should be comparable to the Windows 
drivers.. but the catch is that you will be the first to test any of it.

So please let me how it all works in the end..

Hi,

Unfortunately, we have no information on the language used by this printer, so we're not able to
write a driver for it.  Supporting it would require reverse engineering the printer language, and
without sustained hands-on access to the printer, that's not going to be feasible.

The PPD file simply describes the options available on the printer, not the language used by the
printer.  It specifies a driver to use (the MY_WAY plugin) that does all the translation needed for
the printer to function.

[Gimp-print-devel] Support for Olivetti inkjet printers

[Raffaele T. <raf...@gm...>]

Dear GIMP-Print developers,

I have been using your drivers for years on Linux, and had a great
experience with them. Unfortunately a printer I own (Olivetti MY_WAY) seems
to be completely unsupported, but thankfully I could get the PPD files from
an old OS X driver and they look very simple at a first glance.

This is the exact model I own, from a family of probably very similar
printers driver-wise:
https://web.archive.org/web/20070420013344/http://www.olivetti.com/Site/Public/product.asp?sid=&cid=255&iid=440

And this is the Mac OS PPD file of my model, re-uploaded by myself:
https://gitlab.com/cunidev/olivetti-my-way-linux/-/blob/master/ppd-osx-driver/olmw.ppd

As I have zero experience with writing printer drivers at the moment, could
you tell me how difficult it would be for this printer (which means
probably its whole family) to become supported, according to its specs/PPD
etc., and, in case you believe it would be possible with reasonable effort,
if there is anything like a porting guide for new devices I could start
from?

Thank you.

All the best,
Raffaele T.

[Gimp-print-devel] Gutenprint 5.3 - Missing files for Mitsubishi CP-9800DW-S

[Holvoet K. <koe...@gm...>]

Hello,

 

I have a question about your Gutenprint project :

 

According to post (
https://sourceforge.net/p/gimp-print/mailman/message/35417991/ ) there has
been added support for the Mitsubishi CP-9800DW(-S) printer somewhere end
2016. I see that the printer in the meanwhile is listed as supported, but
when I try to add this printer to a recent Raspbian install it fails because
there is a file missing 'M98TABLE.dat' that should be located a the
following location /usr/share/gutenprint/backend_data/M98TABLE.dat.

At the path '/usr/share/gutenprint/'  I've created the missing folder
'backend_data', but doesn't make any difference.

 

I have downloaded the latest sources for Gutenprint 5.3 but I can't find the
missing data file in this download.

In the sourcefile 'src/cups/backend_mitsu9550.c' I can find the reference to
this file, and I see there are 3 data files that can be used for the 98xx
printers :

 

#define MITSU_M98xx_LAMINATE_FILE  "M98MATTE.raw"

#define MITSU_M98xx_DATATABLE_FILE "M98TABLE.dat"

#define MITSU_M98xx_LUT_FILE       "M98XXL01.lut"

 

Can you tell me where/how I can obtain these missing files?

 

Thanx in advance,

 

Koen.
