This is to announce the second pre-release of Gutenprint 5.2.11. Gutenprint is a suite of printer drivers that may be used with most common UNIX print spooling systems, including CUPS, lpr, LPRng, or others. Gutenprint currently supports over 2000 printer models. These drivers provide high quality printing for UNIX, Linux, and Macintosh OS X (10.6 and above) systems. Gutenprint includes CUPS and Foomatic drivers, and an enhanced Print plug-in for GIMP that replaces the print plug-in packaged with the GIMP distribution. *This release supports Macintosh OS X 10.11 (El Capitan). It is still not signed, so Gatekeeper must be disabled, but it installs with no other workaround needed. We are working on the signature problem; the final 5.2.11 package will be properly signed. We would like to thank everyone for their patience while we resolved the installation issues for El Capitan.* As of 5.2.11, Gutenprint no longer supports Macintosh OS X 10.5. Major changes in this release: * Initial support for Datamax-O'Neil label printers: the Performance series and the Workstation printer. * Support for additional dye sublimation printers, and improvements and bug fixes for others. * Support for additional Canon inkjet printers, and bug fixes for others. * Support for a few additional Epson inkjet printers. Gutenprint 5.2.11-pre2 may be downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print/files/gutenprint-5.2/5.2.11-pre2/. Macintosh users should download the pre-built installer from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print/files/gutenprint-5.2/5.2.11-pre2/gutenprint-5.2.11-pre2.dmg/download while Linux and other UNIX users should download the source from http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print/files/gutenprint-5.2/5.2.11-pre2/gutenprint-5.2.11-pre2.tar.bz2/download Please report any issues to gim...@li.... -- Robert Krawitz <rl...@al...> *** MIT Engineers A Proud Tradition http://mitathletics.com *** Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- http://ProgFree.org Project lead for Gutenprint -- http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton |
