Gutenprint 5.2.12 is a stable release of 5.2. Please report any
problems to [email protected].
Gutenprint is a suite of printer drivers for UNIX, Linux, and
Macintosh OS X systems (10.6 and above) that use CUPS as their
printing system. Gutenprint currently supports over 2600 printers.
It also includes an enhanced Print plug-in for GIMP that replaces the
print plug-in packaged with the GIMP distribution.
Gutenprint is available for Linux, Macintosh OS X (10.6 and above as
of Gutenprint 5.2.11), and other UNIX systems. Please visit
http://gutenprint.sourceforge.net to download the package.
* Changes from 5.2.11
1) The Ghostscript IJS driver and Foomatic data generator have been
removed. CUPS is ubiquitous on Linux/UNIX systems, and the
Ghostscript IJS driver and Foomatic data are not needed with
CUPS.
2) Added support for the following dye sublimation printers:
Canon SELPHY CP1000
Canon SELPHY CP1200
Fujifilm ASK-300 [*2] [experimental]
Mitsubishi CP-9500DW [experimental]
Mitsubishi CP-9600DW
Mitsubishi CP-9800DW [experimental]
Mitsubishi CP-9800DW-S [experimental]
Mitsubishi CP-D90DW [experimental]
DNP DS-RX1HS
DNP DS820/DS820A
Kodak Professional 8800 [experimental]
3) Improved support (and bugfixes) for the following dye sublimation
printers:
Canon SELPHY CP820 [*3]
Canon SELPHY CP910
Ciaat Brava 21 [*1]
Citizen CW-02 [experimental]
DNP DS620/DS620A
DNP DS40
DNP DS80
DNP RX1
DNP DS80DX [experimental]
Kodak 305 [*2]
Kodak 6850
Kodak 8500 [experimental]
Kodak 9810 [experimental]
Mitsubishi CP-9550DW
Mitsubishi CP-9550DW-S
Mitsubishi CP-9810DW [experimental]
Mitsubishi CP-D70DW [*2]
Mitsubishi CP-D707DW [*2] [experimental]
Mitsubishi CP-D80DW [*2]
Mitsubishi CP-K60DW-S [*2]
Sinfonia S1245/CE [experimental]
Sinfonia S2145/CS
Sinfonia S6145/CS2 [*1]
Sinfonia S6245/CE2 [experimental]
Sony UP-DR150
Sony UP-DR200
[*1] Optimal quality requires use of an external image processing
library. Two options are available:
* libS6145ImageProcess -- Officially supported by Sinfonia,
this library is proprietary, available only on a few platforms,
and use requires a written license from Sinfonia.
* libS6145ImageReProcess -- A reverse-engineered replacement
for the Sinfonia library, released under the terms of
the GNU GPLv3+. Sinfonia does not support this in any way.
Unfortunately, at this time it cannot be bundled with Gutenprint.
The backend will attempt to dynamically load the library at
runtime, and will log an appropriate message if it is or is not
successful.
Note that without the library, the printer will function but
the output image quality will be quite poor.
[*2] Printing requires use of an external image processing library.
Only one option is available:
* libMitsuD70ImageReProcess -- A reverse-engineered implementation
of the Mitsubishi algorithms, relased under the terms of the GNU
GPLv3+. Mitsubishi does not support this in any way.
Unfortunately, at this time it cannot be bundled with Gutenprint.
The backend will attempt to dynamically load the library at
runtime, and will log an appropriate message if it is or is not
successful.
Note that without the library, the printer will not be able to
successfully print. Work is underway on a crude fallback that will
at least generate (very poor quality) output.
[*3] The USB PID for the CP820 is unknown at this time,
so will not be claimed by the improved backend.
4) Dye-sublimation backend now reports media status via standard
CUPS marker attributes. This applies to all models except for:
Kodak 805 and 1400
Sony UP-DR150, UP-DR200, and UP-SL10
5) Added support for the following Epson inkjet printers:

P9000 Commercial Editions.
[*2] Only three levels of gray are supported in the Epson
SureColor P10000 and P20000.
