Gutenprint is a suite of printer drivers for Linux and UNIX-like systems 
that use CUPS as their printing system.  Gutenprint currently supports 
over 3600 printers.  It also includes an enhanced Print plug-in for 
GIMP that replaces the print plug-in packaged with the GIMP 
distribution.

Gutenprint 5.3.5-pre1 is only distributed in source form; third parties 
(such as Linux distriutions) typically prepare and distribute binaries 
for their systems.

This pre-release is the first non-snapshot build in several years, and 
primarily acts a roundup of the various additions and fixes that have 
accumulated since the 5.3.4 release.  Additionally, this prerelease is 
intended to help familiarize the current Gutenprint maintainer with the 
release flow.

Please report any problems to gim...@li....
