This is to announce a new pre-release of Gutenprint 5.2.12. 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 2500 printer models. These drivers provide high quality printing for UNIX, Linux, and Macintosh OS X (10.6 and above) systems. Gutenprint includes a CUPS driver, and an enhanced Print plug-in for GIMP that replaces the print plug-in packaged with the GIMP distribution. As of 5.2.10, Gutenprint no longer supports Macintosh OS X 10.4 or earlier; as of 5.2.11, Gutenprint no longer supports Macintosh OS X 10.5. Major changes in this release: * Foomatic support and the IJS-based driver have been removed. CUPS is ubiquitous on Linux/UNIX systems, and the Ghostscript IJS driver and Foomatic data are not needed with CUPS. * Support and improvements for many additional dye sublimation printers. * Support for most of the Datamax-O'Neil DPL printers. * Improvements for some Canon inkjet printers. * Added support for some additional Epson inkjet printers, including experimental/preliminary support for many SureColor P-series printers. There are restrictions on the latter; please read the release notes for details. Gutenprint 5.2.12-pre4 may be dounloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print/files/gutenprint-5.2/5.2.12-pre4/.
