Welcome to Gutenprint 5.2.7, a stable release of Gutenprint 5.2. This
release has bug fixes, support for some new printers, and a few new
features over 5.2.5. Please read these release notes carefully.
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 1500 printer models.
These drivers provide high quality printing for UNIX, Linux, and
Macintosh OS X (10.3 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.
Gutenprint 5.2 no longer supports Macintosh OS X 10.2.
*** NOTE TO PACKAGERS: Please read the file README.package for issues
that are of interest to distributors and packagers of Gutenprint.
It is not necessary for end users of Gutenprint to read this file.

================================================================
I) GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Gutenprint will run on any reasonably modern computer running Linux,
Macintosh OS X (10.3 or above), Solaris, or any other UNIX-like
operating system. If you plan to compile this package from source,
you will also need an ANSI C compiler, such as gcc (recommended). A
compiler is not required if you are installing a pre-compiled package.
Processor and memory requirements vary depending upon the printer and
runtime options selected; it is suggested that you have at least 64 MB
of memory for general purpose printing, 256 MB or more for high
quality printing on a good printer, and 1 GB or more for large format
printing at high resolution. You should have at least 50 MB of free
disk space to compile and install Gutenprint. Disk space requirements
for printing will vary depending upon how you use Gutenprint, but are
generally modest except as noted below. We recommend a processor
speed of at least 300 MHz. Fast printers may require a faster
processor to achieve maximum printing speed.
For general use, you should have the Common UNIX Printing System, CUPS
(version 1.1.15 or above) or Foomatic (2.0 or above) installed.
Please the rest of the release notes, in particular the Exceptions and
Workarounds, for full details on installation, as there is important
information to be aware of. CUPS is the printing system used on
Macintosh OS X 10.3 and above, and many other systems use it. The
combination of CUPS and Gutenprint provides a flexible, general
purpose printing system capable of producing the highest quality
output with any of the printers supported by this package. We
strongly recommend using CUPS with Gutenprint as a general-purpose
printing solution.
The enhanced Print plug-in for GIMP requires GIMP 2.0 or above (GIMP
2.2 recommended). This plug-in will work with any printing system,
and offers a comprehensive user interface to control all aspects of
the printing process. If you are printing photographs in large format
from GIMP at very high resolution, disk space requirements may be
substantial, and we recommend at least 2 GB of free disk space for
that purpose.
The Ghostscript driver requires GNU Ghostscript 6.53 or higher, ESP
Ghostscript 7.05 or higher, or AFPL Ghostscript 7.04 or higher. It
uses the IJS package included with these versions of Ghostscript to
create a driver that may be built much more easily than traditional
Ghostscript drivers. This driver should be used in conjunction with
Foomatic to configure printers.
Users of Macintosh 10.3 (Panther), 10.4 (Tiger) 10.5 (Leopard), and
10.6 (Snow Leopard) can use this package, as the printing system is
based on CUPS. For ease of installation, a pre-built package with
installer is normally supplied a few days after the release of the
source package. We strongly recommend that OS X users use the
pre-built package rather than attempt to build it themselves.
The README file included with this package provides full instructions
for building and installing Gutenprint.
================================================================
II) CRITICAL UPGRADE NOTE
If you are using CUPS with Gutenprint on a non-Macintosh system, and
are upgrading from Gimp-Print 4.2 or a version of Gutenprint prior to
5.2, please read this note carefully as there are special procedures
that you should follow in addition to the normal procedure of running
cups-genppdupdate.
Background: older versions of Gutenprint distributed CUPS backends,
named "epson" and "canon", that we have determined have compatibility
problems on certain systems. The symptom of this problem is that the
last page of each print job does not complete; it prints almost to the
end of the page, and the printer stops. The only way to clear this
condition is to power the printer off and back on after each job.
A CUPS "backend" is a special program whose purpose is to transfer
data from the printer driver to the printer itself. CUPS provides a
number of general purpose backends. The "epson" and "canon" backends
previously provided with Gutenprint are capable of retrieving ink
level information from Epson and Canon inkjet printers respectively.
These backends are no longer needed in CUPS 1.2, and are not strictly
necessary in CUPS 1.1. Therefore, these backends have been removed
from Gutenprint as of 5.2.
Due to a subtle issue, these backends may not correctly send all of
the data to the printer on some systems. While we have not fully
characterized the systems on which this happens, it appears likely
that it is on certain operating system versions. The backend believes
that all data has been sent, but the way it does I/O results in some
data not being sent on all systems. As a result, the printer
continues to wait for more data to be received.
We recommend that if you have any printer queues using these backends
that you modify the queues to use a different backend. Even if you
are not currently having problems, we recommend that you do this, as a
future operating system upgrade may result in this problem becoming
visible. If this is the first version of Gutenprint or Gimp-Print you
have installed on your system, you should not have these backends
present. Here are the steps we recommend that you follow.
1) Determine whether any printers on your system use the epson or
canon backends.
This can be determined via "lpstat -v". This may be done without
administrator privileges:
$ lpstat -v
device for EPSON_Stylus_Photo_R300_USB_1: usb://EPSON/Stylus%20Photo%20R300
device for espr300-ez: usb://EPSON/Stylus%20Photo%20R300
device for r300-test: epson:/dev/usb/lp0
device for HP_LaserJet_1022_USB_1: usb://HP/LaserJet%201022
Inspect each device line for a device that begins with "epson:" or
"canon:". These are the queues you must modify. In this case, the
only queue that must be modified is "r300-test". The other queues
all have devices that begin with "usb:"; these queues use the
standard CUPS USB backend that does not have this problem.
2) For each queue that uses the epson or canon backend, modify it to
use an appropriate backend.
If your system provides a user interface for administering
printers, we recommend that you use that interface. If you're
comfortable with the KDE or GNOME print manager, you may use that
interface. However, we recommend using the CUPS web interface
(http://localhost:631/printers) to modify the printer. The steps
you should follow (assuming that you are using the CUPS web
interface) are:
i) Click "Modify Printer", to start leading you through a series of
screens allowing you to change the printer properties.
ii) The first screen, entitled "Modify Printer r300-test" (the
printer name, of course, will vary), will display the name of
the printer, along with the location and description. You may
modify these if you wish, but it isn't necessary. Click
"Continue".
iii) The next screen, entitled "Device for r300-test", is the
important one. This provides you a drop-down list of devices.
These devices typically include "AppSocket/HP JetDirect",
"LP#1", and so forth. It is critical that you select the
correct device at this point.
The entries that you want are of the form
EPSON Stylus Photo R300 USB #1 (EPSON Stylus Photo R300)
or
EPSON Stylus Photo EX Parallel #1 (EPSON Stylus Photo EX)
Make sure to select the one that's appropriate for your printer
model.
You will likely also see entries such as "Gutenprint USB Printer
#1 (EPSON USB2.0 Printer (Hi-speed)". These are the entries
corresponding to the "epson" and "canon" backends, and you must
avoid these.
iv) The next screen, entitled "Make/Manufacturer for r300-test",
allows you to select the manufacturer of the printer. Normally,
the correct manufacturer (Epson or Canon) will be highlighted,
and you can click Continue.
v) The next screen, entitled "Model/Driver for r300-test", allows
you to select the precise model of the printer. Normally, the
correct model (which will be named something like "Epson Stylus
Photo R300 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.0-rc1") will already be
highlighted, and you can click "Modify Printer". Otherwise, you
must find and select the correct printer model before clicking
Modify Printer. You will likely need to provide your
administrator username and password to continue here.
After this, you should see a message "Printer r300-test modified
successfully".
3) Remove the epson and canon backends.
On most systems, the backends will be named
/usr/lib/cups/backend/canon and /usr/lib/cups/backend/epson. On
some systems, the backends will be named
/usr/lib64/cups/backend/canon and /usr/lib64/cups/backend/epson.
They may be present in other locations, but these are the most
common locations. If these files are present, you should create a
directory named /usr/lib/cups/old-backend or
/usr/lib64/cups/old-backend, and move the epson and canon backends
there just in case you later need them.
% cd /usr/lib/cups
% sudo mkdir old-backend
Password: <type your administrator password>
% cd backend
% sudo mv canon epson ../old-backend
Password: <retype your administrator password if prompted>
The specific underlying technical problem appears to be that when at
least certain devices are in non-blocking mode (O_NONBLOCK or
O_NDELAY) with certain operating system versions (Linux 2.6.25 appears
to be suffer this problem, and most likely some other versions also
do), the close() call does not result in all data being flushed to the
device. We have determined that the data is in fact written by the
"epson" process, but it's never getting to the printer.

2) Corrected color matching profile used for Mac OS X 10.5.x.
sRGB will now be used instead of Generic RGB. Users with work-
flows dependant on the previously used Generic RGB can select
this color profile in the print window by using ColorSync to
choose the profile rather than using VendorMatching.
3) Add additional photo modes to Canon inkjet printers.
4) Correct page size limit for EPSON Stylus Pro 7600, 7800, 7880,
9600, 9800, and 9880 (previously these printers had overly
restrictive page limits).
5) Correct printing to the EPSON Stylus NX200, NX215, SX200, SX205,
SX210, and SX215.
6) Corrected basic printer definitions of EPSON Stylus Pro 3800,
3880, 7800, and 9800.
7) Corrected media definitions and improve printing quality for
EPSON Stylus Pro 3800, 3880, 4800, 4880, 7800, 7880, 9800, 9880,
11800, and 11880. This will result in substantial changes in
output; if this is an issue, please use the EPSON Stylus Pro 7600
or 9600 driver as appropriate. There are new printer definitions
named "EPSON Stylus Pro 4800/4880 Back Compatible" and "EPSON
Stylus Pro 11800/11880 Back Compatible" available for people with
existing tuned workflows for those printers.
There are no back compatibility modes for the EPSON Stylus Pro
3800 and 3880 as those printers were previously marked
experimental with a note that their output was expected to change
substantially.
8) Allow EPSON Stylus Pro 3800 and 3880 to select matte and photo
black ink automatically based on ink set choice (it is no longer
necessary to set this on the front panel).
9) Corrected base density for Photo Paper on printers using Claria
ink (use 20% less ink). The default results in heavy ink
puddling in some cases.
10) Improved reliability of escputil.
11) CUPS PPD files now correctly identify which options affect
color, for the Common Printer Dialog.
12) A problem whereby certain malformed PPD files would cause the
PostScript driver to crash has been fixed. In addition, the
PostScript driver now runs considerably faster.
13) A build problem on Solaris has been fixed.
14) A problem whereby an attempt to use the the optional ink map
curves (e. g. Cyan Hue Map) with the EPSON Stylus Photo R800,
R1800, and R1900 would cause an error has been fixed.
15) The Dutch and Italian translations have been updated.
16) A Slovenian translation has been added.

2) Fix printing to Epson Stylus S20, S21, T20, and T21.
3) Adjust printer definitions of EPSON Stylus Pro 7800 and 9800 (to
use Ultrachrome K3 rather than Ultrachrome inks and media
definitions). This may result in minor changes in color output;
if you determine this to be an issue, use the 7600 or 9600
driver as appropriate or do not take this upgrade.
4) Adjust the printer definitions of the Epson Stylus Pro 7880,
9880, and 11880 to be consistent with new definition of 4880 and
use Ultrachrome K3 w/Vivid Magenta ink. This may result in
minor changes in color output; if you determine this to be an
issue, use the 7600 or 9600 driver as appropriate or do not take
this upgrade.
5) Correct printing on Epson Stylus Pro printers (x600, x800, and
x880 series) to position images correctly on the page and to
correctly cut the print in roll feed mode.
6) Correct printer definitions of some Kyocera laser printers to
specify tabloid-size (11.7x17) output.
7) Correct printer definition of Canon ImageRunner 330s (large
format).
8) Add CD Allow Other Media Sizes option to Epson printers to
permit printing to other media sizes when using third party
trays.
9) Correct the behavior of scan and page dry times for Epson Stylus
Pro printers.
10) The Enhanced Print plugin for GIMP now allows printing very
small images at their correct sizes.
11) A Finnish translation has been added.

2) Add Device ID strings for printers for which they are known.
3) Correctly handle installable options in PPD files in PostScript
driver.
4) Correctly handle certain PPD files that previously caused the
PostScript driver (and hence the Enhanced Print plugin) to
crash.
5) Changed a number of laser printers by Gestetner, Infotec,
Lanier, NRG, Ricoh, Savin, and Xerox to be large format
(A3/tabloid instead of A4/letter). Please inform us at
gimp-print-devel@lists.sourceforge.net if you encounter other
printers that should be changed.
6) Make the QualityEnhancement option (available in the Epson
driver for certain printers) function correctly.
7) Alow Epson printers using Claria inks to select quadtone or
hextone output.
9) Corrected escputil status output for Epson Artisan and TX/SX
7xx/8xx printer families and for a number of the R-series
printers.
10) Add support for EA5 envelope (paper size).
11) Fixed the margins for the HP LaserJet 2100 and 2100M with A4
paper. It is likely that other printers will need similar
correction.
12) Update the German translation.
* Changes from 5.2.3
1) New printers supported in this release:
Canon PIXMA iX4000
Canon SELPHY CP-520
EPSON Stylus Photo R2880
EPSON Stylus DX4000
2) Printing to the Epson PM-D600 has been corrected.
3) Printing using the manual sheet guide on the Epson Stylus Photo
R2400 has been corrected.
4) Printing to the EPSON Artisan 700 and 800 and Stylus Photo
P/TX700 and 800 series printers has been corrected. Among other
issues, it should now be possible to print reliably using the
photo tray.
5) The names of the following Epson printers have been corrected:
EPSON Stylus Photo PX700W
EPSON Stylus Photo TX700W
EPSON Stylus Photo PX800FW
EPSON Stylus Photo TX800FW
6) The names of various Ricoh and Ricoh-based printers have been
corrected to match Ricoh's model names and the OpenPrinting
database.
7) The EPSON inkjet utility, escputil, now correctly prints the
color name for low ink warnings.
8) Printing resolution names have been fixed in non-English locales
in CUPS PPD files.
9) A Russian translation has been added. The Danish and Italian
translations have been updated.
10) Support has been added for L-size paper with tear-off borders.
11) The ordering of inks in quadtone ink sets on Epson printers has
been corrected. In addition, support has been added for MIS
quadtone and 6 tone inks.
12) It is now possible to adjust the ink parameters for quadtone
inks in CUPS. Previously, these parameters could only be
adjusted in the enhanced Print plugin for GIMP and other native
Gutenprint applications.
13) Updating CUPS PPD files is now faster.
* Changes from 5.2.2
1) CUPS PPD files in non-English locales are now generated
correctly when the CUPS driver interface is used (with CUPS 1.2
and above).
2) Epson inkjet printers that support duplex printing now use less
restrictive margins (allowing use of more of the page) when
duplex printing is not used.
3) Printing to the following Epson printers has been corrected:
EPSON Artisan 700
EPSON Artisan 800
EPSON BX300F
EPSON EP-801A
EPSON EP-901A
EPSON EP-901F
EPSON ME 300
EPSON ME Office 360
EPSON PX-401A
EPSON Stylus NX100
EPSON Stylus NX105
EPSON Stylus Photo PX700FW
EPSON Stylus Photo PX800FW
EPSON Stylus Photo TX700W
EPSON Stylus Photo TX800W
EPSON Stylus S20
EPSON Stylus SX100
EPSON Stylus SX105

EPSON Stylus TX102
EPSON Stylus TX103
EPSON Stylus TX105
EPSON Stylus TX106
EPSON Stylus TX109

These printers should all be fully functional, but may be
further tuned in the future.
4) Duplex printing has been enabled on the Epson Stylus RX680,
RX685, RX690, PM-A940, and PM-T960. Support for these printers
is still considered experimental.
5) Support has been added for the Canon MULTIPASS MP220.
6) Preliminary support has been added for the Canon PIXMA iP4600.
7) Preliminary support has been added for the Canon PIXMA iX4000.

2) Printing at standard and draft quality to the Epson Stylus Photo
R1900 has been corrected.
3) Printing to the Epson Artisan 700, Artisan 800, Stylus Photo
TX700W, Stylus Photo TX800W, Stylus PX700FW, Stylus PX800FW,
EP-801A, EP-901A, and EP-901F is believed to be corrected based
on updated specifications. The printers have not been tuned and
are still considered experimental.
4) An Italian translation has been added.
5) Builds using the VPATH feature, allowing building outside of the
source tree, have been fixed. This has no user-visible
implications, but it may have implications to distributors
building Gutenprint.
================================================================
IV) EXCEPTIONS AND WORKAROUNDS
A) GENERAL ISSUES
1) The Canon, Hewlett-Packard, Lexmark, and dye sublimation drivers
do not offer all of the additional options and improvements that
the Epson driver does. Please contact us if you would like to
assist with making these options available (requires C
programming skills).
----------------
B) PRINTER-SPECIFIC ISSUES
1) A number of Epson printers have been reported to produce poor
quality at the bottom of the page in borderless mode when the
resolution is set to 5760x2880 DPI. The specific problem
observed is that the print fades at the bottom of the page.
Other than reducing the resolution or avoiding use of borderless
mode, there is no known workaround for this problem.
2) There have been reports of poor color fidelity on the Epson
Stylus Photo R2880 with certain paper types. This problem has
not been reproduced.
3) A number of laser printers capable of large format printing are
incorrectly classified as small format, thereby not permitting
users to select large paper sizes. The workaround is to use the
printer named "Generic PCL 6/PCL XL LF Printer". Please report
any such printers to gimp-print-devel@lists.sourceforge.net; they
will be fixed in the next available release.
4) Color laser printers are currently supported only in black and
white mode. At present, we do not have resources to add a color
laser driver. If you have interest in this area and the
requisite skills, please contact
gimp-print-devel@lists.sourceforge.net.
----------------
C) BUILD/INSTALLATION ISSUES
1) With certain versions of CUPS and in certain non-default
configurations, if a new version of Gutenprint is installed over
an existing version genppd will create PPD files based on the
older version of Gutenprint rather than the newer version. This
will happen if all of the following are true:
i) The cups-config provided by the CUPS driver adds
-Wl,rpath=/usr/lib. This is done by some versions of CUPS
reportedly because in some cases the runtime linker does not
pick up libraries out of /usr/lib. This can be checked by
running
cups-config --libs --ldflags
and inspecting the output for any mention of "rpath", "RPATH",
"RUN_PATH", or the like. This is controlled by the CUPS
installation on your system.
ii) There is presently a version of Gutenprint installed in /usr
(--prefix=/usr) rather than /usr/local or the like. The
default location of Gutenprint installation is in /usr/local,
but system vendors typically install Gutenprint in /usr.
iii) Gutenprint is built dynamically only (--disable-static or
--disable-static-genppd). This is not a default, and requires
the explicit --disable-static or --disable-static-genppd on
the Gutenprint "configure" command line. Therefore, if you
build Gutenprint normally you should not be vulnerable to this
problem.
Note that in general if you install CUPS into a non-standard
location, and install Gutenprint into the same location, this
problem can surface. For example, if you choose to install CUPS
in /usr/local and Gutenprint in /usr/local you are vulnerable to
this. However, it is not standard practice to install CUPS
anywhere but /usr.
In this case, the run path embedded in the genppd executable
points to the version of Gutenprint installed in /usr/lib. This
run path overrides any attempt by libtool to look in the build
directory. The result is that cups-genppd and rastertogutenprint
are run against the older version of Gutenprint. If the new
version contains additional features (more printers, changes to
printer options, etc.) they will not be available.
This bug is difficult to detect in a normal build. It normally
does not cause an error to happen during build unless there is an
API change from the version installed and the version being
built; the only failure is frequently that some PPD files may not
be built or may be built with missing options. Due to the PPD
version checking introduced in this release, the behavior might
manifest itself as a runtime error. It is also possible that
there will be no error at all other than the older version of
Gutenprint being used, with the result that new features and bug
fixes are not available.
If you wish to use only shared libraries, do not wish to build
static libraries at all, and are vulnerable to this issue
(because cups-config --ldflags sets the run path), there are
three workarounds available:
i) Build and install Gutenprint into /usr (rather than
/usr/local) and then rebuild Gutenprint from scratch. This
will install the correct libgutenprint.so in /usr/lib, and in
the rebuild genppd will be run against the correct library.
ii) Remove the old version of Gutenprint prior to building the
new version of Gutenprint. The important files to remove are
anything named /usr/lib/libgutenprint*.
iii) Edit cups-config to remove the reference to the run path.
2) There are multiple issues that one must be aware of when using
Foomatic with Gutenprint.
i) Before installing any new release of Gutenprint 5.2, you must
manually remove any existing Foomatic option files. This is
because the Foomatic utility to load data kits
(foomatic-kitload) does not remove obsolete data files from
the Foomatic database. If you do not do this, any PPD files
you generate will be incorrect and printing may work
incorrectly or not at all.
Foomatic option files are usually located in
/usr/local/share/foomatic/db/source/opt
or
/usr/share/foomatic/db/source/opt
Assuming they're in the former location, you must remove data
files associated with the Gutenprint driver. The command to do
this, which must be run as the superuser (root) is
cd /usr/local/share/foomatic/db/source/opt
ls -l gutenprint-ijs*.xml
If there are existing files present, you must remove them:
rm -f gutenprint-ijs*.xml
Now check to make sure that they are gone:
ls -l gutenprint-ijs*.xml
CAUTION: Be very careful when typing this command! Minor
errors in typing these commands may result in severe damage to
your system.
After this, you may run 'make install' in your Gutenprint
source directory to install the package. You will then need to
re-create any printer queues using Foomatic.
In general, you will have to perform this procedure any time
you install a new version of Gutenprint.
Please check the Foomatic site
(http://www.openprinting.org/foomatic.html) and the Gutenprint
site (http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net) for updated
instructions about this.
ii) Unlike with the CUPS native driver, there is no simple way to
update all PPD files when you install a new version of
Gutenprint. You must either use the foomatic-ppdfile command
to upgrade PPD files individually, or foomatic-compiledb to
build all PPD files. Your system may provide an alternate way
to install new PPD files, in which case you may use that
method.
iii) The Foomatic data is version locked to the Gutenprint release
installed on the system. For example, PPD files generated
with the Foomatic data for release 5.2.0 will not work with
the ijsgutenprint in release 5.2.1. This is to prevent
accidentally using incorrect data, which could cause incorrect
function to take place.
3) There is a known complication building "escputil" that causes
problems on a small number of systems. "escputil" uses the
"readline" package, to support command editing and history within
the program. Unfortunately, linking programs with "readline"
often requires linking against additional libraries, and the
exact library depends upon the system (e. g. not all Linux/UNIX
systems have the same requirements).
The configure script attempts to determine which additional
library must be linked against. It tries using the following
libraries in this order to build a test executable:
-lncurses
-lcurses
-ltermcap
no additional libraries
The reason it tries other libraries first is that some systems
will link successfully, but only fail when an attempt is made to
actually call readline. Therefore, we assume that additional
libraries are required. Since we try the extra libraries in
order from most recent to oldest, we expect that the first one we
find will be appropriate. For example, if the "ncurses" library
is the standard on a given system, the "termcap" library may be
provided for back compatibility, but it is unlikely that
"termcap" will be the standard with "curses" or "ncurses" being
provided for compatibility only (so that the link will succeed
but the command will use the incorrect library).
As this procedure is not failsafe, we provide the following
configure options to control this behavior:
./configure --with-readline=yes (the default; attempts to
determine the correct library
to link against)
./configure --with-readline=no (turns off use of readline
altogether)
./configure --with-readline=only (specifically instructs
configure to not attempt to
link against any other
libraries)
./configure --with-readline=libs (specifies the libraries to be
linked against)
A hypothetical (this won't work anywhere!) example of the latter
would be
./configure --with-readline='-lncurses -ltermcap'
Note that configure will not allow readline to be used if it
cannot successfully build the test program, regardless of the
option selected. If you are having difficulty getting escputil
to build, we suggest using --with-readline=no. The commands
used within escputil are very short and seldom require
significant editing.
================================================================
V) OVERALL CHANGES FROM 5.0.2 TO 5.2
A) GENERAL USER-VISIBLE CHANGES
1) Gutenprint 5.2 and beyond no longer support GIMP 1.2. Please
ensure that you are using GIMP 2.0 or above.
2) Gutenprint 5.2 no longer supports Macintosh OS X 10.2; it now
requires 10.3 (Panther) or higher. This is due to a new library
requirement (for the iconv library) that is not present in 10.2.
3) Color Correction is now shown on the basic output adjustment
menu rather than the advanced menu.
4) We recommend that any profiles created against Gutenprint 5.1 or
earlier releases be checked, and if necessary, re-created for
use with Gutenprint 5.2.
B) NEW FUNCTIONALITY
1) The PostScript driver has been rewritten, offering enhanced
functionality approaching that of the native printer drivers.
This driver is used by the enhanced Print plugin for the GIMP,
and by other packages (such as PhotoPrint) that utilize
Gutenprint. In particular, the following specific functionality
has been added:
- All PPD file options are now offered.
- CMYK input is now handled correctly.
- The PostScript driver recognizes Gutenprint PPD files (from
the native CUPS driver, not from Foomatic) and presents
floating point options correctly.
Note that this driver does not offer the curve options offered
by the native drivers. If no PPD file is selected, a basic set
of options is provided.
2) Envelope paper sizes are now offered in both portrait and
landscape form factor, as some printers expect envelopes to be
fed long edge first while some expect them to be fed short edge
first.
3) PCL laser printers now offer paper trays with adjustable guides.
Many laser printers use adjustable guides for manual feed of
papers narrower than letter size.
4) In addition to support for specific laser printers listed below,
support for generic large format PCL laser printers has been
added. Note that all PCL laser printers are supported in black
and white only.
5) Quality presets have been added to the PCL driver (HP inkjets
and HP and other laser printers).
6) L-size photo paper (3 1/2x5 inches) has been added.
C) CHANGES TO THE ENHANCED PRINT PLUGIN FOR GIMP
1) The GIMP plugin now offers additional options for many Epson
inkjet printers, allowing precise specification of drop sizes if
desired.
2) A problem with determining the system printer queues in the GIMP
plugin on certain systems using languages other than English has
been fixed.
3) The GIMP plugin now offers reset buttons for individual
settings, so it is possible to reset a single setting to its
default without resetting all settings.
D) CHANGES TO THE CUPS INTERFACE
1) PPD files generated by cups-genppd and the CUPS driver interface
(gutenprint.5.2) now include, by default, all localizations in a
single file. This is referred to as "globalized PPD files".
This functionality is supported by CUPS 1.2 and higher.
Single-language PPD files are still generated on request, or if
CUPS 1.1 is in use. The CUPS driver is now localized using
built-in code, eliminating problems with PPD files not always
being translated properly.
cups-genppdupdate will normally upgrade all PPD files to
globalized ones if CUPS 1.2 or higher is in use or if
pregenerated PPD files are used, but will otherwise generate
single-language files. This behavior can be controlled as
follows:
- If -l<language> is passed to cups-genppdupdate, it will be
honored no matter what release of Gutenprint is in use. This
may be used if applications have issues with globalized PPD
files. We would like reports of any such applications. The
list of languages accepted is as follows:
C English (US)
cs Czech
da Danish
de German
el Greek
en_GB English (UK)
es Spanish
fi Finnish
fr French
hu Hungarian
ja Japanese
nb Norwegian
nl Dutch
pl Polish
pt Portuguese
sk Slovak
sv Swedish
zh_TW Simplified Chinese
- If -loriginal is passed, the original language of the PPD file
will be honored.
- If no -l option is passed, the original language will be
honored if -r5.0 or -r5.1 is passed (i. e. if cups-genppdupdate
is used to downgrade to an older version of Gutenprint), or if
CUPS 1.1 is in used.
- A new configure option --enable-globalized-cups-ppds (or if not
desired, --disable-globalized-cups-ppds) has been added to
enable or disable pre-generating globalized PPD files. This
option is only used if --enable-cups-ppds is set. It defaults
to "yes" if CUPS 1.2 or above is in use or "no" if CUPS 1.1 is
in use.
2) The CUPS driver is now localized using built-in code, hopefully
eliminating problems with PPD files not always being translated
properly.
3) cups-genppdupdate is no longer versioned, as it was in 5.0 and
5.1 (cups-genppdupdate.5.0 and cups-genppdupdate.5.1). It also
supports the following options:
-r Specify the major.minor version to update to, e. g. 5.0 or
5.1.
-f Bypass ownership/permissions checks on update PPD files.
-i Interactively ask whether to update each PPD file.
-l Specify the language in which to generate PPD files, as
described above.
4) The performance of cups-genppdupdate has been improved
significantly.
5) cups-genppdupdate no longer updates PPD files that differ only
in case of the file extension (e. g. printer.ppd and
printer.PPD). This avoids updating PPD files twice on
filesystems that are case insensitive, such as OS X.
6) cups-genppdconfig has been removed from this release. This
command was used to configure CUPS printer queues, but is not
necessary as there are ample other tools available to configure
printer queues.
7) The CUPS driver will no longer attempt to find a matching
predefined page size when a custom page size is passed in. This
yields more accurate printing sizes for custom paper sizes. In
addition, it avoids a problem with unnecessary margins being
imposed when the paper size is approximately 4.7x6.8" (120x173
mm) due to a specific defined page size with those dimensions and
tear-off borders.
8) Certain legacy applications (most notably Microsoft Office) did
not print correctly on printers capable of high resolution, due
to inability to handle the specified resolutions. This release
works around that issue by not advertising very high resolutions
in a way that these applications will fail on.
9) Progress and error messages produced by the CUPS raster driver
are now localized.
10) The CUPS driver now provides an Output Order option, where
appropriate, in all cases. This worked prior to 5.2.0-beta3 and
was broken in that release only.
11) A problem whereby the CUPS driver could consume excessive
amounts of CPU and generate no output with Epson PictureMate and
E-series compact photo printers has been fixed.
E) CHANGES TO THE FOOMATIC INTERFACE
1) The Foomatic-based driver will only attempt to find a precisely
matching page size when a custom page size is passed in. This
yields more accurate printing sizes for custom paper sizes.
F) QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS
1) A number of improvements have been made to the Epson driver:
- Borderless printing and in general printing near the bottom of
the page has been improved for many Epson inkjet printers.
- Additional very high resolutions (2880x2880 and 5760x2880 DPI)
have been added for many modern (post-2005) printers. These
resolutions may be useful when one desires the absolute best
print quality.
- Additional enhanced low and intermediate resolutions have been
added for some Epson printers to reduce banding while still
achieving good output performance and quality.
- Printing speed, and in some cases quality, has been improved
on many modern Epson printers.
- Ink drop size has been retuned on printers using Claria inks,
yielding improved quality at lower resolutions.
- Borderless support has been added to the Epson Stylus Pro
7600/9600 and the margins have been corrected.
- Epson printers will now correctly handle color output if
quadtone inks are in use by printing in grayscale even though
color is specified.
- The Epson Stylus CX8300 and CX8400 now print correctly, although
the colors may be retuned before final release.
- The Epson Stylus CX7400, DX7400, and DX7450 now print correctly
at all resolutions. Previously, printing at 720x360 DPI or below
was incorrect. Output will be rather grainy.
- A problem whereby some rows are not printed in color on the Epson
Stylus CX3700 and related printers has been fixed.
2) Output quality has been improved for certain Canon printers, in
particular the PIXMA iP4500 and related printers.
3) A new dither algorithm, Ordered New, has been added. This
dither algorithm is most likely to improve output at low
resolutions, particularly when printing black and white. It
will only help on printers offering multiple drop sizes.
4) Various new controls and settings have been added to assist in
printer calibration. While the tools for using these controls
are not yet created, these tools will assist in calibrating
printers in the future.
- The Epson driver now offers additional controls for adjusting
the relationship between light and dark ink:
+ The Value parameters (such as Light Cyan Value) specify the
relative darkness of the light vs. dark inks.
+ The Cutoff parameters now specify the point at which the
darker ink is first used, relative to the value of the light
ink.
+ The Scale parameters now specify the amount of light ink
used (essentially the density of the light ink). This is
the same as the parameters previously called Cutoff.
- The Epson driver now exposes as defaults the actual GCR
settings used for the printer, paper, and ink combination in
use.
- The Epson driver now allows passing low level settings such as
printer base resolution, ink drop size selection, and relative
ink drop size as parameters. The ink drop size can be
accessed in the GIMP plugin, while the base resolution and ink
drop size selection can only be used via the test pattern
generator or other application that allows setting integer
parameters.
- Two new dither algorithms, Segmented and Segmented New, have
been added. These are not intended for normal use, and will
normally behave like Ordered and Ordered New. However, if Raw
color correction is selected and a printer with multiple drop
sizes is used, the range of input will be divided up such that
the high order bits will select the drop size to be used and
the lower bits will specify the amount of ink. High order
bits of 0 indicate that all drop sizes should be used.
For example, if a printer offers 3 drop sizes (2 bits), the
range of 0-16383 will print all drop sizes normally (with the
range of 0-16383 being scaled to 0-65535), 16384-32767 will
use the small drop size, and so forth.
This is intended to assist in tuning ink drop sizes and is not
normally useful otherwise.
- A new parameter allowing dumping out of color correction state
(lookup tables, GCR data, curves, etc.) has been added, and is
accessible in the GIMP plugin. At present, this data cannot
be used directly, but it is intended that in the future this
mechanism be used to allow calibration information to be saved
and restored.
G) ARCHITECTURAL CHANGES
1) The Epson driver has been significantly rewritten to use data
stored in external files external to the binary library. This
allows making improvements, adding new features, and adding new
printers without recompiling the source code.
2) Test coverage has been increased.
