I did some testing with the latest version. It works well except for the color management. I can't select a printer profile as none are listed in the "printer profile" menu (profiles are present in ~/.config/darktable/color/out and /opt/darktable.print/share/darktable/color/out/). These profiles are listed in the "export profile menu". The image isn't centered in the page, the left border is bigger than the right even using the center function. If borders are set to 0 the image is printed in mosaic on several pages. The minimal border size is 2 for a 4x6 page. Except for the color, the prints are sharp without lines or banding effects.
