But in Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise) new Gutenprint version 5.2.8-pre1 was included and some experimental drivers from 5.2.7 release were removed: 7) The following printer models were either not added, or removed, as they cannot currently be supported, even experimentally, owing to an as-yet unknown command format or other issues: Canon PIXMA i250, i320, i350, iP90, iP90v, iP100, iP1000, iP1200, iP1300, iP1500, iP1600, iP1700, iP1800, iP1900, iP2200, iP2500, iP2600, MP5, MP10, MP55, MP110, MP130, PIXMA PRO-1 See http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp- print/files/gutenprint-5.2/5.2.8-pre1/NEWS/download for more info. So, if users wanna have drivers for these printers in official Ubuntu repositories, they should help Gutenprint developers to solve issues with open source drivers for these printers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/959043 Title: Canon PIXMA ip1000 and others (ip1200, ip1300, ip1500-ip1900, ip2200, etc) drivers were removed from Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gutenprint/+bug/959043/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
