[Gimp-print-announce] Gutenprint 5.2.14-pre2 Release

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

This is to announce the release of Gutenprint 5.2.14-pre2.  This is a
pre-release of Gutenprint 5.2.14 which we hope to release in a few
weeks.

Gutenprint 5.2.14-pre2 may be downloaded from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print/files/gutenprint-5.2/5.2.14-pre2/

This release offers color support for PCL-5c color laser printers.  In
addition, it offers a number of other fixes and improvements:

* Changes from 5.2.13

  1) The PCL driver now supports color laser printers that use PCL 5c
     natively (as opposed to emulation).  The support is considered to
     be preliminary at this time.

     * The following printers now support color printing:

     * Many other color laser printers, too numerous to list, have
       been added on specification; please report success or failure
       with any other color laser printer using the Generic PCL Color
       drivers.  Printers that we know about that may be supported are
       listed as UNTESTED Automatically Generated.  Based on feedback
       from this pre-release, some or all of these printers may be
       removed from the list prior to 5.2.14 release.

  2) Support for the Brother HL-2030 and HL-2035 has been removed.  We
     have determined that these printers do not use standard PCL; they
     use a proprietary printing method that we cannot support.

  3) A crash that affected certain dyesub printers when used with
     simplified PPD files has been fixed.  The printers involved are:

     Citizen CX-W
     Dai Nippon Printing DS620
     Dai Nippon Printing DS80
     Dai Nippon Printing DS80DX
     Dai Nippon Printing DS820
     Mitsubishi CP-3800DW
     Mitsubishi CP-D70DW
     Mitsubishi CP-D707DW
     Shinko/Sinfonia CHC-S1245
     Shinko/Sinfonia CHC-S2145
     Shinko/Sinfonia CHC-S6145
     Shinko/Sinfonia CHC-S6245

  4) Enhanced support and bugfixes for the following dye-sublimation printers:

     Fujifilm ASK-300
     Sony UP-DR150
     Sony UP-DR200
     Canon SELPHY CP820
     Canon SELPHY CP910
     Canon SELPHY CP1000
     Canon SELPHY CP1200
     Mitsubishi CP-D70DW
     Mitsubishi CP-D707DW  (EXPERIMENTAL)
     Mitsubishi CP-D80DW
     Shinko/Sinfonia CHC-S1245

  5) Initial support for EPSON Stylus Pro 7900 (Partial -- no
     orange/green inks)

  6) The SureColor P800, previously marked Experimental, has been
     retuned and is now no longer considered experimental.
