[Gimp-print-devel] macos gutenprint52+usb backend

[Matt B. <wal...@ma...>]

I was testing the Gutenprint v5.2.14 against macos 10.14.2.  I found that both a USB Epson WorkForce 1100 and a networked Xerox Phaser 6180 color laser printer were fine.  I did and do have a paper feed problem with my Epson printer that is posted in another thread, but that doesn't impact the fact that Gutenprint drivers work fine in macos 10.14.2.

I don't have any Canon printers to test, but there seems to be enough questions about the working of Canon printers I thought I would take a look to make sure that the gutenprint52+usb backend was included in the macos release.  The answer was a surprising no.,  It is not included.  There is a symlink --
/usr/libexec/cups/backend/gutenprint52+usb -> /Library/Printers/Gutenprint.printerDriver/Contents/MacOS/gutenprint52+usb
The actual executable, however, was never installed.
if test -f /Library/Printers/Gutenprint.printerDriver/Contents/MacOS/gutenprint52+usb ; then echo good file ; else echo no file here; fi
This returns "no file here"

The scripts in the macosx directory in git shows that LIBUSB should be built and therefore picked up when ./configure is run.  Might it be that LIBUSB never made it into the $PATH?

Not having that backend would certainly cause problems problems for some users.

Hi Bertrand,
Yes, we have plans to add newer series, once I have time to analyse
printjobs later in March or April. Please be patient till then!

You'll need the image processing library and the various data files too:

 http://www.peachyphotos.com/blog/posts/201610061508-mitsubishi-cp-d70-family-working/

Beyond that, what version of Gutenprint are you using?  Best results 
with the ASK300 will require compiling current code out of the 
gutenprint git repo.

(BTW, I have an ASK-300, it works quite well..)

[Gimp-print-devel] Gurenprint Fuji-ASK300

[Stefan H. <ste...@k-...>]

Dear Gutenprint team,

I tried to install the Fuji ask-300 printer with gutenprint 5.3 and cups 2.2.1 on a raspberry pi
The printer is listed as "gutenprint53+usb://fujifilm-ask-300/159312". If I do print the cups interface always shows "Invalid backend (fujifilm-ask-300)"
Do you have an idea what that could be?


Thanks,

[Gimp-print-devel] Pixma ts5120

[Bertrand B. <ber...@gm...>]

Hi there, I'm not sure if you're still developing new releases or not. I
have a Mac OS snow leopard and am trying to install a driver for a Canon
Pixma TS5120. Any chance you will be adding compatibility? Or do you have
any tips? The Gutenprint TS5000 series don't seem to work.

Re: [Gimp-print-devel] Gutenprint and perhaps gimp for tiling => can't access to A3

[Patrick <pat...@ne...>]

Hi

Thank you very much for your multiples answers last week. The one about the png format is irrelevant as the problem I had some
time ago is due to an old png plugin from 2005 that grabbed the file before png-file.

I the meantime, I found some tiling software but I realized since it is for sewing, it is better to tile by hand and manage the
fitting for the sheets.

I am pretty sure, I am going to write some scripts to compute some point found with gimp in order to add some fitting lines, crop
and repave using image/graphics magick


It looks like if the gimp page is smaller than the paper, gutenprint allow to scale and move with a large freedom, but if the gimp
page is bigger, I have no other choices than to scale with a ratio <100%. correct? That is the meaning of the last question, I
expected to print many times while moving the crop rectangle.


I however have a problem with my hp officejet 7110. The A3 or A3+ paper size is not in the list, I even tried to add another size
(and recompiled) as, in France, we have 914mm rolls (+-3feet/1yard) in which I can cut 330mm strips and recut in 2. that make a
format A3+ in width and A3half+ in length which is nice (portrait mode) for sewing.

Is there a paper limits in the drivers and the 7110 has been wrongly registered as an A4 printer?

Fortunately, I can say that I have to retract my statement that there may be a problem with the new MacPower Book, macOS 10.14.x, and Gutenprint 5.2.14.  It appears that my printer is having all sorts of problems dealing with paper feed.  At least I think that is what it is. In any event, the new MacBook Pro is working using the Gutenprint 5.2.14 drivers.

Keeth, please download the Gutenprint 5.2.14 package and reinstall again.  That should replace any missing parts of the software.

  I too am in the process of upgrading to a new MacBook Pro and am
  using Migration Assistant.  The second issues you raised is easy to
  answer.  Migdration Assitant has *never* worked correctlly. At least
  Apple's installers don't erase all third party software any more.  In
  any event, even now the Migration Assiostant wipes out thirdd party
  software receipts.  That is why the uninstaller does not work.  Every
  time you insetall software, it leaves a receipt in a hidden directory
  that lists all the files that were installed.  It is this receipt
  that the uninstaller uses to delete the old files.,  No receipt, no
  uninstall.

  Tne first part of you issue is more difficult.  I know that the
  Gutenprint driversd work with macOS 10.14.x. I had them working on my
  previous machine.  I just had a chance to try them on my new machine.
   They aren't working properly even after a reinstall of the latest
  drivers.  I have an Epson Workforce 1100.  The paper just passes
  through the printer.  Then the printer indicates that there is a
  paper issue and please try again with new paper.  And so it goes.

  I might suggest that the problem is that the new MacBook Pros only
  have USB C connections rather than the older USB style connections.
  Apple does have a dongle/adapter for this.  Initially, I am
  suspecting this might be the issue.  I have tried a wireless mouse
  tha has a transmitter that uses the old USB type.  Using Apple's
  adapter, the mouse is not recognized by the software.  I will look at
  the appropriate logs to see if there is something there,

  Unfortunely I will be unavailable for the next three weeks or so and

Kodak is still actively supporing the 68xx family.  The last firmware 
update was released in December 2017, and they have a driver with Win10

[Gimp-print-devel] unable to uninstall Gutenprint

[Keeth A. <kee...@gm...>]

Hello,

I am running Apple’s Migration Assistant to transition files from an old laptop (running 10.11.6) to a new one (running 10.14.3).

I keep getting this error, which will not allow this process to complete:

"Gutenprint: this version is not compatible with this version of macOS”

I have been unable to locate or remove any sort of Gutenprint or Gimp-Print software from the old mac.  

I have tried using two of your uninstallers, version 1.2.8 and version 2.0. Neither of these programs was able to locate or uninstall Gutenprint. I am pasting the logs from v 2.0 below.

Can you help me locate and remove this software? Numerous calls to Apple and they have been unable to help me.

I’m an independent musician and this is holding up work in my recording studio.

Thank you very very much,

Keeth

Awesome!  I took a stab at this model based on some educated guesses, 
but I had nothing to compare it against.

At minimum, we need to invert the data going to the printer; it's 
clearly expecting YMC rather than BGR data.

More troubling is the highly irregular appearance of the test page; the 
pixel data is clearly not being laid out properly.

I'll follow this up privately with links to a couple of test prints.  
With luck, one of them will turn out to be correct.

[Gimp-print-devel] DPB-6000 printer

[Ednilson M. <edn...@gm...>]

Hello,

I saw that the Copal DPB-6000 is listed as experimental on Gutenprint 5.3.1
and wanted to give it a try.
I have connected this printer to a raspberry pi3 running debian testing but
there seems to be something off in the raster.  The printer test page is
almost entirely black and a color picture comes out as a very colorfull
print. Changing the printer config (CMYK, RGB, grayscale) seems to have no
effect.
Samples below:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1LGKvHPRkhXHun2qkJWsV4-QdZB28QkIa
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ZBjIMeTDbHrGT4H69ph_77qt8kENqu_v

Is there a way to debug the issue or try something different?

Thanks in advance,
Best regards.

[Gimp-print-devel] Kodak 6850 Driver

[DJ J. <djj...@gm...>]

I am thinking about purchasing an older Dye Sub printer (Kodak 6850) and
Kodak is not supporting or updating firmware for this printer anymore.
I am creating an iPad photo booth with the new 11" iPad Pro. I will be
running Snappic as the photo booth software. It has an app that will
transfer the image to a separate Windows Computer which I would like to be
hardwired to the printer. Do you know how this will work best and where to
locate Windows Drivers for Windows 10 for this printer at all?
If there is a driver to attach to iOS as well, I would be interested in
learning about all options available. Thanks for your help.

Hello,
Great the gutenprint drivers work for you, the MP610 is well-supported.
As for scanning, you should look at the SANE project for that, the
MP610 is supported there too.

In a general sense, yes.  Any halfway modern Epson inkjet (that
supports ESC/P2, at any rate) does.  Gutenprint has a limit of
1200', but that's a soft limit.  The firmware-based limit is higher,
but I'd have to calculate it out.

Yes.

> Can I go over the printer definitions to support rolls or cut rolls?

Don't understand the question.  Not all printers have roll feed per
se, but you can sort of fake it by pre-cutting to the right size
yourself.  Printers that don't support roll feed don't have built-in
cutters, so when it comes time to eject the paper they have to keep
ejecting until they run out of paper.

Not sure what you mean by that.

The Gutenprint core doesn't support that, and that's not the right
place for it.  That's something that should be done by the
application, although one could certainly build an image printer
application that does that.  PhotoPrint, which I'm not sure is active
any longer, could do that IIRC.

[Gimp-print-devel] Gutenprint and perhaps gimp for tiling

[Patrick <pat...@ne...>]

Hello

I am using a on open source CAD software that strictly take the printer parameters for the paper sizes

Correct me if I am wrong, inkjet printers receive rows and move the paper forward without any future questions. In other hands we
can theoretically print on rolls after fixing input and output tray problems (of course perhaps with a limit somewhere).

I am pretty sure Gimp can open png files. The idea is to export the full size and use Gutenprint and Gimp to tile.

Can I go over the printer definitions to support rolls or cut rolls?
Is there a feature to cut and create multiple outputs without manually changing the position and print?
Is there a support to automatically draw the "sewing" lines?

Regards

[Gimp-print-devel] Thank you!

[Garrison R. <gar...@gm...>]

You saved me from having to throw away a perfectly good printer that is no longer supported by Canon.  I really appreciate it.  THANK YOU!!!

There is currently no driver for the TS5100,using the TS5000 was a
good try, but just confirms the printers are too different for that to
work. Incidentally, the TS5000 support is also experimental.
I have plans to add support for newer printers sometime this quarter
still, but no timeline for you yet.
However, regarding MacOSX, building code on that OS is a PITA, so you
would likely have to wait for an official pre-release of the relevant
version. Sorry, but please wait max ~2 months for me to add support.

[Gimp-print-devel] New printer on old OSX

[Gert <ge...@ta...>]

Hello

My father bought himself a new printer and forgot to look for compatibility…
And it is not. 

Now i tried to connect via airprint but i stil need a driver that i can not install from the manifacturer because of the old OSX witch is not be able to update because of an old machine. 

In detail: 
Printer: Canon TS5150
OSX 10,6,8

I tried the driver for “TS5000 series" from your Gutenprint 5,2,14. but that did not print anything. 

Can you help my out what to try to let it work?

Thanks
Gert

Hello Anthony
It looks like this printer accepts PCL3 as the emulation language. You
could try generic PCL drivers, or in gutenprint try one or another of
the HP inkjet devices and see if one of them works reasonably well for
you.
As it has ethernet, I suspect you can access its admin interface with
a browser and setup some details there, perhaps it accepts other
emulation as well, like PS or PDF?

Hello Stewart,
Thank you for your feedback. You'll have to be more explicit, since as
far as I am aware there is no issue with any of the supported Canon MP
devices.
Although the MP470 is marked as experimental, has been supported since
October 2011, with occasional additions to the code until May 2013.
What OS are you using? What printer serup have you done? What "does
not work", what have you tried?
Feel free to send me details directly if it involves debug files from
CUPS for example.

What sort of errors?  What do you mean by inconsistent?

The ASK300 should function perfectly with Gutenprint 5.2.14 or later.
