[Robert K. <rl...@al...>]

Gutenprint 5.2.13-pre1 is a pre-release of Gutenprint 5.2.13.  Please
report any problems to gim...@li....  It may
be downloaded from our web site, http://gutenprint.sourceforge.net.

Gutenprint is a suite of printer drivers for UNIX, Linux, and
Macintosh OS X systems (10.6 and above) that use CUPS as their
printing system.  Gutenprint currently supports over 2600 printers.
It also includes an enhanced Print plug-in for GIMP that replaces the
print plug-in packaged with the GIMP distribution.

Gutenprint is available for Linux, Macintosh OS X (10.6 and above as
of Gutenprint 5.2.11), and other UNIX systems.  Please visit
http://gutenprint.sourceforge.net to download the package.

* Changes from 5.2.12

  1) Critical bugfix

     * Correct mis-defined paper type that collided with standard
       A4 paper.  This resulted in some Canon and PCL printers
       mishandling A4 paper.

  2) Added support for the following Epson inkjet printers:

     EPSON Artisan 1430
     EPSON L210

  3) Improvements to the dye-sublimation driver:

     * Code optimizations in the dye-sublimation driver, resulting
       in a significant (2x-2.7x) boost in performance.

     * Added support for the following thermal printer:

      Mitsubishi P93DW

     * Enhanced support (and bugfixes) for the following
       dye-sublimation and thermal printers:

      Canon SELPHY CP820
      Canon SELPHY CP910
      Canon SELPHY CP1000
      Canon SELPHY CP1200
      Fujifilm ASK-300          [EXPERIMENTAL]
      Kodak 305
      Mitsubishi CP-D70DW
      Mitsubishi CP-D707DW      [EXPERIMENTAL]
      Mitsubishi CP-D80DW
      Mitsubishi CP-K60DW-S
      Mitsubishi P95DW

  4) Improvements to the Gimp plugin

     * Compilation fixes when CUPS is not enabled

     * Fix non-interactive plugin mode

  5) Changes to the Canon driver:

     * removed iP100 (unsupported)

     * Added duplex support to MP530

     * Improved duplex support for the following models:

       MG3600 series
       MG5600 series
       MG5700 series
       MG6600 series
       MG6800 series
       iB4000 series
       MB2000 series
       MB2300 series
       MB5000 series
       MB5300 series

     * Improved printer firmware papersize detection when using
       automatic paper source selection (Autofeed), by changing paper
       width from calculated to a constant value for paper sizes known
       to the driver.

     * Added several resolution modes for Pro9500

  6) Added the Datamax-O'Neil H class series of printers.
