This is a development release. Usual caveat about aerodynamic print heads and fine Oriental rugs apply. This is a fairly substantial release. The .tgz file is much bigger than before because of new dithering matrices. Print quality should be greatly improved. 1) Greatly improved print quality. In particular, ordered dithering and adaptive dithering methods are now much better than ever before. We recommend ordered dithering for four-color printers and either adaptive hybrid or adaptive random dithering for six-color printers. 2) If a print job is canceled from within the Gimp, the partial file will not be sent to the printer. 3) Support for additional Canon and Hewlett-Packard printers. 4) Epson Stylus printers can now print much closer to the edge of the page. They can print to the extreme top edge and much closer to the bottom than before, although there is some loss in quality close to the edge. 5) Greatly improved black quality. 6) The preview window now shows the borders of the printable area in addition to the borders of the page. In addition, the offsets are now from the true edge of the page rather than from the edge of the printable area. 7) 720 dpi highest quality and 1440x720 dpi highest quality are now supported on the new generation Epson printers. 8) Epson printers will now print faster on sparse pages and in pure black and white. This is of particular interest for the Ghostscript driver. -- Robert Krawitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.tiac.net/users/rlk/ Tall Clubs International -- http://www.tall.org/ or 1-888-IM-TALL-2 Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Project lead for The Gimp Print -- http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton
