Hi

Would it be possible to update z42tools in printer-utils to 0.3.4b - its currently at 0.2.0 which is very old.


The displaying of version 0.2.0 by z42tool is a bug, the installed version (already in 9.1) is in reality 0.3.4. In 9.2 it will be 0.3.4b, but it still displays 0.2.0. A fix of this bug does no functional improvement and therefore we will not do it before 9.2.


Also it seems wasteful to include the mtink gimp plugin here, could it not be added to the gimpprint package instead as this only contains a gimp 1.2 plug-in. This way it makes it easier for people who do not have gimp-1.2 installed, as otherwise printer-utils requires libgimp1.2_1 as well, for no reason other than the plugin.

This is a good idea, but as it can easily break dependencies and also cause problems by the conflict between the current printer-utils and the future gimpprint packages I will not do this change before 9.2.


Thanks for your report.
