Gimp-Print 4.2.5 released
Gimp-Print 4.2.5 released
01/27/2003 01:27 AMGimp-Print 4.2.5, released January 24, 2003, is a stable release in
the Gimp-Print 4.2 series. Gimp-Print is a suite of printer drivers
that may be used with most common UNIX print spooling systems,
including CUPS, lpr, LPRng, or others. These drivers provide high
quality printing for UNIX (including Macintosh OS X 10.2 and newer)
and Linux systems in many
cases equal to or better than proprietary vendor-supplied drivers, and
can be used for many of the most demanding printing tasks.
This software includes the Print plug-in for the Gimp, and GhostScript
and CUPS drivers, including Foomatic data.
The Print plug-in for the GIMP requires the Gimp 1.2.
The CUPS driver requires CUPS 1.1.9 or higher. 1.1.14 or above is
highly recommended, as certain translation-related bugs are fixed and
it is possible to print true CMYK.
The Ghostscript driver requires GNU Ghostscript 5.10, 5.50, 6.51, or
any
later GNU Ghostscript release based on 6.51 (e. g. 6.52). It may also
be used with GNU Ghostscript 7.05, or with ESP Ghostscript 7.05.
The IJS GhostScript plugin driver requires GNU Ghostscript 6.53 or
later, ESP Ghostscript 7.05 or later, or APFL GhostScript 7.04 or
later.
Users of Macintosh OS X 10.2 and above can use this package, as the
printing system is based on CUPS, which is supported by Gimp-print.
Note that Macintosh OS X 10.0 and 10.1 (including 10.1.5) cannot use
this package. We recommend that Macintosh OS X users download the
precompiled installer package from
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3 rather than attempt to
build this package from source, as using the installer is much
simpler. We further recommend that Macintosh OS X users install ESP
GhostScript, to permit printing from Carbon applications (such as most
Adobe applications) that generate PostScript rather than PDF output.
Directions for that are also available at
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3.
Please read the README file for full instructions on installing this
package from source code.
Gimp-Print 4.2.5 contains the following major changes over Gimp-Print
4.2.4:
* Major bugs fixed:
1) (bug 625780) The Epson Stylus Pro 5000 now prints.
2) (bug 645895) The Epson Stylus Color 640 now prints properly at
all resolutions in color, grayscale, and monochrome.
3) (bug 639356) The version of libtool used in building the release
package has been upgraded to 1.4.3, which fixes compile problems
on a few platforms (this is primarily of interest to packagers).
4) (bug 659543) escputil now reports the ink levels correctly on the
Stylus Photo 950/960 and 2100/2200.
5) (bug 672692) A buffer overflow in escputil, which permitted a
local privilege escalation if it is installed setuid, has been
fixed. Note that Gimp-print does not install escputil setuid,
and we do not recommend explicitly setting the setuid bit.
6) (bug 672846) A problem compiling rastertoprinter on Solaris with
the gcc compiler has been fixed.
7) (bug 672850) The Epson back end in CUPS will no longer hang
attempting to read back ink levels under some circumstances, and
it will also compute the ink levels correctly.
8) (bug 646158) DESTDIR now works correctly with make install (this
is primarily of interest to packagers).
* New Functionality:
1) If Foomatic 2.9.x is installed, the Foomatic data will be
generated with additional features: Once the options are put into
groups ("General", "PrintoutMode", "Adjustment") and a new
"PrintoutMode" option will be added, which lets the user choose
pre-configurations for common printing tasks, but still adjust
the individual options. If an older version of Foomatic is
installed, the Foomatic data will stay as before.
2) (bug 596538) The automatic paper cutter is now functional on the
Epson Stylus Photo 925, 950/960, and 2100/2200.
* Quality Improvements:
1) The Epson Stylus Photo 950/960/PM-950C and 2100/2200 are now
tuned.
The 950 and 960 are fully tuned, while the 2100 and 2200 are
fully
tuned with Photographic Black ink. Matte Black ink on the
2100/2200, and dark yellow ink on the PM-950C, are not tuned at
this point.
2) The Epson Stylus Photo 950/960/PM-950C and 2100/2200 now support
double speed printing at 360 DPI in Four Color Standard mode (in
color, grayscale, and monochrome). For this reason, we recommend
use of Four Color Standard for printing text and low-resolution
graphics on plain paper with these printers.
3) Translations for Danish, German, Portuguese, Swedish, and UK
English have been updated.
* Exceptions and Workarounds:
1) There have been a number of reports that printing to a
Windows-hosted printer from Macintosh OS X results in only the
first page of the job being printed (see bugs 668342 and
672692). In at least some cases, connecting the printer directly
to the Macintosh results in correct prints. There is no known
workaround short of connecting the printer directly to the
Macintosh. Investigation is continuing on this problem.
2) There are longstanding reports of problems printing with certain
USB-parallel adapters on Macintosh OS X. In particular, many
users have reported problems with the Keyspan adapter; we
recommend that users having problems try different brands of
adapters, and avoid using USB hubs. Please check our
web site (http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3) for a
link to a user feedback forum regarding these cables.
3) Mac OS X users who use the Epson Printer Utility (provided by
Epson with their standard driver set) to check ink levels and
perform maintenance tasks, such as head cleaning or head
alignment, may encounter print job failures when attempting to
print with the Gimp-Print driver after using the Epson
utility. The cause for this failure is currently unknown, but the
workaround is to completely power-cycle the printer, after which
the Gimp-Print driver should again print normally. Another
option is to disable the Epson Printer Utility.
4) The Mac OS X print dialog may offer an "Autoselect" option as the
default media source (input slot) on some printers. This option
may not be valid and can result in nothing being printed. The
workaround is to choose a different setting (explicitly select
the input slot you wish to use).
5) The new HP DesignJets have not been fully tuned. In particular,
there are reports that they print too light. This can be
corrected with the Density adjustment (try 1.5~1.7 or
thereabouts).
6) The list of compatible and potentially compatible Hewlett-Packard
printers has been updated with the latest available information.
If a particular printer does not work with the recommended
driver, we recommend that you try other similar drivers, check
the Feature Requests at
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=101537&group_id=1537&func=browse,
and if the printer is not listed please file a feature request
(via the Submit New button).
7) Borderless (full-bleed) printing is not quite correct on the
Epson Stylus Photo printers that support it (see bug 621668).
Typically, the left or right margin is off by 1 mm or less,
resulting in a very fine white strip on that edge. This will not
be fixed in 4.2; it is expected to be fixed in 4.3 and beyond.
There is no workaround other than trimming the page.
8) Many Canon printers do not print correctly at 720x360 DPI. The
workaround is to use 360 or 720 DPI.
The following bugs have been fixed in Gimp-Print 4.2.5:
596538 Epson Stylus Photo 925 etc. paper cutter is not functional
599029 Epson: Maximum speed printing not supported on 950, 960

Previous versions of Gimp-Print did not handle this option
appropriately. This option is now handled appropriately, by
treating it as the default input slot for the printer.
2) (bug 729918) The PostScript driver (used only in the Print plugin
for the GIMP) did not operate correctly if the locale was set to
something other than the US English locale.
3) (bug 668342) The Canon S-450, and other Canon printers, only
printed the first page of a multi-page job if the printer was
hosted on a Windows system.
4) (bug 842715) The Epson Stylus Color 600, 800, 850, 1520, and 3000
failed to print in black and white or grayscale at certain
resolutions.
5) (bug 865253) In certain cases, the PPD file generator for CUPS
may not generate all of the PPD files, or may not generate them
correctly. The underlying problem is some versions of CUPS
specify a linker command line that forces an old version of the
Gimp-Print driver library to be used when building the PPD files.
This fix works correctly unless --disable-static (to disable
building static libraries) is passed on the command line.
Normally, only people packaging up Gimp-Print for distribution
use this option. If you wish to use this option, please read the
Exceptions and Workarounds *carefully* for a full description of
the problem along with suggested methods of procedure.
* New Functionality:
1) A number of newer Epson Stylus printers and multi-function
devices
are supported. Please see the supported printers list at the
bottom of this file for full information on supported printers.
2) The Canon S200 is now supported.
3) The European 10x15 cm and US Engineering C paper sizes have been
added.
4) The CUPS driver now offers normal and reversed paper order,
permitting printing documents in the correct page order on inkjet
and some laser printers.
5) A Czech language translation has been added.
* Quality improvements:
1) Under OS X, the options are grouped more appropriately, making
for
easier use.
2) Some Epson printer resolution names have been changed for
clarity.
This change does not introduce an incompatibility.
3) The escputil command no longer hangs if the printer does not
respond.
4) Minor speed improvement for the HP LaserJet IIP.
5) Minor adjustment to the HP DeskJet 340 margins.
6) The PPD files have been audited for conformance to the PPD
specification.
* Exceptions and Workarounds:
1) There are longstanding reports of problems printing with certain
USB-parallel adapters on Macintosh OS X. In particular, many
users have reported problems with the Keyspan adapter; we
recommend that users having problems try different brands of
adapters, and avoid using USB hubs. Please check our
web site (http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3) for a
link to a user feedback forum regarding these cables.
2) Mac OS X users who use the Epson Printer Utility (provided by
Epson with their standard driver set) to check ink levels and
perform maintenance tasks, such as head cleaning or head
alignment, may encounter print job failures when attempting to
print with the Gimp-Print driver after using the Epson
utility. The cause for this failure is currently unknown, but the
workaround is to completely power-cycle the printer, after which
the Gimp-Print driver should again print normally. Another
option is to disable the Epson Printer Utility.
3) The Mac OS X print dialog may offer an "Autoselect" option as the
default media source (input slot) on some printers. This option
may not be valid and can result in nothing being printed. The
workaround is to choose a different setting (explicitly select
the input slot you wish to use).
4) The new HP DesignJets have not been fully tuned. In particular,
there are reports that they print too light. This can be
corrected with the Density adjustment (try 1.5~1.7 or
thereabouts).
5) The list of compatible and potentially compatible Hewlett-Packard
printers has been updated with the latest available information.
If a particular printer does not work with the recommended
driver, we recommend that you try other similar drivers, check
the Feature Requests at
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=101537&group_id=1537&func=browse,
and if the printer is not listed please file a feature request
(via the Submit New button).
6) Borderless (full-bleed) printing is not quite correct on the
Epson Stylus Photo printers that support it (see bug 621668).
Typically, the left or right margin is off by 1 mm or less,
resulting in a very fine white strip on that edge.
7) Many Canon printers do not print correctly at 720x360 DPI. The
workaround is to use 360 or 720 DPI.
8) Many new Epson Stylus printers do not return status to the
escputil command (for ink level check, etc). We recommend use of
the mtink tool (please see http://xwtools.automatix.de) for this
purpose.
9) With certain versions of CUPS and in certain configurations, if a
new version of Gimp-Print is installed over an existing version
genppd will create PPD files based on the older version of
Gimp-Print rather than the newer version. This will happen if all
of the following are true:
1) The cups-config provided by the CUPS driver adds
-Wl,rpath=/usr/lib. This is done by some versions of CUPS
reportedly because in some cases the runtime linker does not
pick up libraries out of /usr/lib. This can be checked by
running
cups-config --libs --ldflags
and inspecting the output for any mention of "rpath", "RPATH",
"RUN_PATH", or the like.
2) There is presently a version of Gimp-Print installed in /usr
(--prefix=/usr) rather than /usr/local or the like.
3) Gimp-Print is built dynamically only (--disable-static)
Note that in general if you install CUPS into a non-standard
location, and install Gimp-Print into the same location, this
problem can surface.
This bug is difficult to detect in a normal build. It does not
cause an error to happen during build; the only failure is that
some PPD files may not be built or may be built with missing
options.
In this case, the run path embedded in the genppd executable
points to the version of Gimp-Print installed in /usr/lib. This
run path overrides any attempt by libtool to look in the build
directory. The result is that genppd is run against the older
version of Gimp-Print. If the new version contains additional
features (more printers, etc.) they will not be available to
genppd.
If you wish to use only shared libraries, and do not wish to
build static libraries at all, there are three workarounds
available:
1) Build and install Gimp-Print into /usr (rather than
/usr/local) and then rebuild Gimp-Print from scratch. This
will install the correct libgimpprint.so in /usr/lib, and in
the rebuild genppd will be run against the correct library.
2) Remove the old version of Gimp-Print prior to building the new
version of Gimp-Print. The important files to remove are
anything named /usr/lib/libgimpprint*.
3) Edit cups-config to remove the reference to the run path.
The following bugs have been fixed in Gimp-Print 4.2.6:
627266 Mac OS X: Autoselect option incorrectly offered
668342 Canon S-450 prints only one page of a job
729918 Postscript family driver fails in non-US locale

ANNOUNCE: Gimp-Print 4.2.4
ANNOUNCE: Gimp-Print 4.2.4
11/26/2002 12:20 PMGimp-Print 4.2.4, released November 25, 2002, is a stable release in
the Gimp-Print 4.2 series. Gimp-Print is a suite of printer drivers
that may be used with most common UNIX print spooling systems,
including CUPS, lpr, LPRng, or others. These drivers provide high
quality printing for UNIX (including Macintosh OS X 10.2 and newer)
and Linux systems in many
cases equal to or better than proprietary vendor-supplied drivers, and
can be used for many of the most demanding printing tasks.
This software includes the Print plug-in for the Gimp, and GhostScript
and CUPS drivers, including Foomatic data.
The Print plug-in for the requires the Gimp 1.2.
The CUPS driver requires CUPS 1.1.9 or higher. 1.1.14 or above is
highly recommended, as certain translation-related bugs are fixed and
it is possible to print true CMYK.
The Ghostscript driver requires GNU Ghostscript 5.10, 5.50, 6.51, or
any
later GNU Ghostscript release based on 6.51 (e. g. 6.52). It may also
be used with GNU Ghostscript 7.05, or with ESP Ghostscript 7.05.
The IJS GhostScript plugin driver requires GNU Ghostscript 6.53 or
later, ESP Ghostscript 7.05 or later, or APFL GhostScript 7.04 or
later.
Users of Macintosh OS X 10.2 and above can use this package, as the
printing system is based on CUPS, which is supported by Gimp-print.
Note that Macintosh OS X 10.0 and 10.1 (including 10.1.5) cannot use
this package. We recommend that Macintosh OS X users download the
precompiled installer package from
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3 rather than attempt to
build this package from source, as using the installer is much
simpler. We further recommend that Macintosh OS X users install ESP
GhostScript, to permit printing from Carbon applications (such as most
Adobe applications) that generate PostScript rather than PDF output.
Directions for that are also available at
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3.
Please read the README file for full instructions on installing this
package.
Gimp-Print 4.2.4 contains the following major changes over Gimp-Print
4.2.3:
* Major Bugs Fixed:
1) (bugs 603702 and 619537) All PCL laser printers (including HP
LaserJet and many other printer lines) printed too light (black
came out as medium gray).
2) (bugs 631993 and 633910) Various problems with the PPD files
used by the native CUPS driver worked incorrectly with many
applications, leading to failures to print, failures to recognize
certain page sizes, and custom page sizes not working correctly
have been fixed. To fix these problems, you must reinstall all
of your printer queues using Gimp-Print PPD files. To do this,
you must delete and re-create the printer queue (merely modifying
or configuring the queue will not solve the problem).
Please see the release notes for 4.2.3 (below) for instructions
on using custom page sizes.
3) (bug 628698) Lexmark printers produced severely distorted colors
in some cases.
4) (bug 631498) Canon large-format printers did not support A3 paper
size; these printers are now capable of printing on that size
paper.
5) (no bug number) PCL laser printers now have correct margins on
A4-size paper.
6) (bug 630365) The Epson Stylus Photo 950 now prints correctly in
1440x1440 and 2880x720 DPI modes. This is not significant new
functionality; these modes are actually printed at 2880x1440,
which did not have htis problem.
7) (no bug number, but related to 628698) 6-color HP printers should
now print correctly using all 6 colors.
8) (no bug number) The dimensions for 22x30 watercolor paper were
incorrect.
* New Functionality:
1) The following HP DesignJet large-format plotters are now
supported: DesignJet 230, 250, 430, 450, 455, 488, 700, 2500, and
3500. Other DesignJet printers may work with one of these
drivers.
2) The following Epson multi-function devices are now supported as
printers: Stylus 3200CX and 5200CX. This project does not
support scanners, so we cannot offer any advice on the scanner
component of these units.
3) The Epson MJ-930C is now supported.
4) Various manual pages have been added or updated. See
gimpprint(3), ijsgimpprint(1), escputil(1), and cups-calibrate(8)
for more information.
5) Transverse versions of the US CAD standard paper sizes (ArchA,
ArchB, ArchC, ArchD, and ArchE) have been added. This permits
printing e. g. ArchD size (24x36) plots on ArchE (36 inch wide)
paper.
* Exceptions and Workarounds:
1) The new HP DesignJets have not been fully tuned. In particular,
there are reports that they print too light. This can be
corrected with the Density adjustment (try 1.5~1.7 or
thereabouts).
2) The version of libtool used to build this package, 1.4.2, does
not create shared libraries correctly on some platforms (in
particular, MIPS and MIPSEL). The workaround is to either build
static libraries only (configure --disable-shared), or to
regenerate the libtool with libtool 1.4.3. We expect this to be
fixed in a future release.
3) The Epson Stylus 2200 has not been tuned in 7-color mode, and
reports are that quality is subpar in this mode. We recommend
using 6-color mode until this is tuned, which we hope to be in
the near future.
4) There are longstanding reports of problems printing with certain
USB-parallel and USB-serial adapters on Macintosh OS X. In
particular, many users have reported problems with the Keyspan
adapter; we recommend that users having problems try different
brands of adapters, and avoid using USB hubs. Please check our
web site (http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net) for updates.
5) The list of compatible and potentially compatible Hewlett-Packard
printers has been updated with the latest available information.
If a particular printer does not work with the recommended
driver, we recommend that you try other similar drivers, check
the Feature Requests at
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=101537&group_id=1537&func=browse,
and if the printer is not listed please file a feature request
(via the Submit New button).

Gimp-Print 4.2.7 release
Gimp-Print 4.2.7 release
07/16/2004 06:52 PMGimp-Print 4.2.7, released July 15, 2004, is a stable release in the
Gimp-Print 4.2 series. This is expected to be the last release in the
4.2 series unless any critical bugs are found or 5.0 is further
delayed. Gimp-Print is a suite of printer drivers that may be used
with most common UNIX print spooling systems, including CUPS, lpr,
LPRng, or others. These drivers provide high quality printing for
UNIX (including Macintosh OS X 10.2 and newer) and Linux systems in
many cases equal to or better than proprietary vendor-supplied
drivers, and can be used for many of the most demanding printing
tasks.
This software includes the Print plug-in for the Gimp, and GhostScript
and CUPS drivers, including Foomatic data.
The Print plug-in for the GIMP requires the Gimp 1.2. The GIMP 1.3
and 2.0 are not supported.
The CUPS driver requires CUPS 1.1.9 or higher. 1.1.14 or above is
highly recommended, as certain translation-related bugs are fixed and
it is possible to print true CMYK.
The Ghostscript driver requires GNU Ghostscript 5.10, 5.50, 6.51, or
any
later GNU Ghostscript release based on 6.51 (e. g. 6.52). It may also
be used with GNU Ghostscript 7.05, or with ESP Ghostscript 7.05.
The IJS GhostScript plugin driver requires GNU Ghostscript 6.53 or
later, ESP Ghostscript 7.05 or later, or APFL GhostScript 7.04 or
later.
Users of Macintosh OS X 10.2 and above can use this package, as the
printing system is based on CUPS, which is supported by Gimp-print.
Note that Macintosh OS X 10.0 and 10.1 (including 10.1.5) cannot use
this package. We recommend that Macintosh OS X users download the
precompiled installer package from
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3 rather than attempt to
build this package from source, as using the installer is much
simpler. We further recommend that Macintosh OS X users install ESP
GhostScript, to permit printing from Carbon applications (such as most
Adobe applications) that generate PostScript rather than PDF output.
Directions for that are also available at
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3.
OS X users who have had problems printing to USB-connected printers
should also consider using the usbtb USB driver described under the
4.2.7 changes.
Please read the README file for full instructions on installing this
package from source code.
Gimp-Print 4.2.7 contains the following major changes over Gimp-Print
4.2.6:
* Major bugs fixed:
1) Many Macintosh OS X users have reported problems of various kinds
with USB-attached printers, including both native USB and
parallel printers connected with USB-parallel printers. Symptoms
reported include failure to print altogether, inability to print
more than one page without rebooting or restarting the print
system, and poor performance. These problems are not specific to
Gimp-Print.
We have released a replacement USB backend driver for Macintosh
OS X 10.2 and higher that to the best of our knowledge fixes all
of these problems. This driver, named "usbtb", is available on
the download site at
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1537&package_id=
120183.
We recommend that all users of OS X 10.2 and above who are having
printing problems with USB-attached printers try this driver. In
addition to resolving these problems, this driver also also
provides textual cues to the system printer queue window to walk
the user through recovery from common error conditions, and it
also provides ink level reporting for Epson and HP printers that
support it.
This replacement USB backend driver is not specific to
Gimp-Print, and may be used with any USB-connected printer with
any printer driver under OS X.
2) (bug 907765) The CUPS driver now reports pages starting from page
1 rather than page 0 as was previously the case.
3) (bug 919224) The Postscript output driver (in the GIMP plugin)
now functions correctly in non-US locales when a PPD file is
provided.
4) (bug 919225) A segmentation violation on the IA64 platform is
fixed.
5) (bug 972014) A bug in the Postscript output driver causes the
GIMP plugin to crash on startup with certain PPD files. This bug
is not related to locale. At least certain PPD files from the
Epson PIPS drivers are known to result in this problem.
6) (bug 919226) The horizontal printing position on the Epson Stylus
C63/C64 and C83/C84 printers has been fixed.
7) (bug 613054) The CUPS driver now handles, via a workaround,
incorrect Postscript generated by some programs. In certain
cases, these programs result in the generation of single bit
output, rather than 8-bit output as it should. The result was
that Gimp-Print printed only a thin band of horizontally
compressed output, and it may have crashed in some cases.
The programs most commonly affected were Adobe InDesign 2.0 and
psnup.
8) (bug 924862) The package now operates correctly with on Solaris
and other systems using an external libintl.
9) (bug 929227) Gimp-Print no longer attempts to build (and fail)
the Print plugin against the GIMP 2.0. This fix requires a
special build procedure in some circumstances; please see item
(10) under Exceptions and Workarounds below.
10) (bug 855685) escputil now reports ink levels from all known
Epson
Stylus printers. In addition, ink level reporting is more
reliable in general, with fewer timeouts or unparseable output.
11) (bug 971832) The HP DesignJet 2500 and 3500 now support correct
maximum page widths of 36" and 54" respectively, rather than 44"
for both.
12) (bug 971833) The PPD files now use the recommended manufacturer
names. Previously, certain CUPS applications could display the
manufacturer names incorrectly.
* New functionality:
1) The Epson Stylus Photo R200/R210 and R300/R310 printers, and the
RX500 and RX600 multi-function devices, are now supported. These
printers have been properly tuned and are fully functional
(except for direct printing to CD's). The Epson CX5300 and
CX5400 multi-functional devices are also now supported as
printers.
2) The HP LaserJet 1012 and Brother HL-1440 printers are now
supported.
3) Super A0 and Super B0 paper sizes are now supported.
4) Translations for Hungarian, Ukrainian, and Norwegian/Bokmaal have
been added. In addition, other translations have been updated.
* Exceptions and Workarounds:
1) Mac OS X users who use the Epson Printer Utility (provided by
Epson with their standard driver set) to check ink levels and
perform maintenance tasks, such as head cleaning or head
alignment, may encounter print job failures when attempting to
print with the Gimp-Print driver after using the Epson utility.
The cause for this failure is currently unknown, but the
workaround is to completely power-cycle the printer, after which
the Gimp-Print driver should again print normally. Another
option is to disable the Epson Printer Utility.
2) The new HP DesignJets have not been fully tuned. In particular,
there are reports that they print too light. This can be
corrected with the Density adjustment (try 1.5~1.7 or
thereabouts).
3) The list of compatible and potentially compatible Hewlett-Packard
printers has been updated with the latest available information.
If a particular printer does not work with the recommended
driver, we recommend that you try other similar drivers, check
the Feature Requests at
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=101537&group_id=1537&func=browse,
and if the printer is not listed please file a feature request
(via the Submit New button).
4) Borderless (full-bleed) printing is not quite correct on the
Epson Stylus Photo printers that support it (see bug 621668).
Typically, the left or right margin is off by 1 mm or less,
resulting in a very fine white strip on that edge.
5) Many Canon printers do not print correctly at 720x360 DPI. The
workaround is to use 360 or 720 DPI.
6) With certain versions of CUPS and in certain configurations, if a
new version of Gimp-Print is installed over an existing version
genppd will create PPD files based on the older version of
Gimp-Print rather than the newer version. This will happen if all
of the following are true:
1) The cups-config provided by the CUPS driver adds
-Wl,rpath=/usr/lib. This is done by some versions of CUPS
reportedly because in some cases the runtime linker does not
pick up libraries out of /usr/lib. This can be checked by
running
cups-config --libs --ldflags
and inspecting the output for any mention of "rpath", "RPATH",
"RUN_PATH", or the like.
2) There is presently a version of Gimp-Print installed in /usr
(--prefix=/usr) rather than /usr/local or the like.
3) Gimp-Print is built dynamically only (--disable-static)
Note that in general if you install CUPS into a non-standard
location, and install Gimp-Print into the same location, this
problem can surface.
This bug is difficult to detect in a normal build. It does not
cause an error to happen during build; the only failure is that
some PPD files may not be built or may be built with missing
options.
In this case, the run path embedded in the genppd executable
points to the version of Gimp-Print installed in /usr/lib. This
run path overrides any attempt by libtool to look in the build
directory. The result is that genppd is run against the older
version of Gimp-Print. If the new version contains additional
features (more printers, etc.) they will not be available to
genppd.
If you wish to use only shared libraries, and do not wish to
build static libraries at all, there are three workarounds
available:
1) Build and install Gimp-Print into /usr (rather than
/usr/local) and then rebuild Gimp-Print from scratch. This
will install the correct libgimpprint.so in /usr/lib, and in
the rebuild genppd will be run against the correct library.
2) Remove the old version of Gimp-Print prior to building the new
version of Gimp-Print. The important files to remove are
anything named /usr/lib/libgimpprint*.
3) Edit cups-config to remove the reference to the run path.
7) The fix for bug 929227 (Gimp-Print incorrectly attempts to build
against GIMP 2.0) requires special build instructions if you are
using a very old version of the GIMP 1.2 (versions affected are
believed to include 1.2.0, 1.2.1, and 1.2.2). Specifically, you
must set GIMPTOOL in the environment to point to the proper
version of gimptool when running Gimp-Print's configure script.
For example:
GIMPTOOL=/usr/bin/gimptool ./configure
The bug fix involves checking for the presence of the GIMP
slightly differently from how it was previously done.
Previously, Gimp-Print checked for the presence of a program
named "gimptool", which provides information about how to build
plugins against the GIMP. This worked correctly when only the
GIMP 1.2 was installed, but not when the GIMP 2.0 was installed.
The GIMP 2.0 actually installs a program named "gimptool-2.0",
and creates a symbolic link named "gimptool" pointing to it.
Later versions of the GIMP 1.2 (1.2.3, 1.2.4, 1.2.5, and any
later versions that may be released) similarly create a program
named "gimptool-1.2" and a symbolic link named "gimptool".
As the configure script prior to this bug fix simply checked for
gimptool, it incorrectly detected a gimptool from the GIMP 2.0,
which this version of Gimp-Print cannot build against.
The current configure script checks first for gimptool-1.2 and
then for gimptool, and only accepts the use of a GIMP 1.2 version
of one of these programs. However, if you have one of the older
versions of the GIMP 1.2 installed in a non-standard location,
and you use --with-gimp-prefix or --with-gimp-exec-prefix to
specify its location, the configure script will not automatically
detect the correct location of gimptool, and you must specify it
as described above. Note that you must specify a copy of
gimptool from the GIMP 1.2, not from the GIMP 2.0. If your copy
of the GIMP is installed in a standard location (typically
/usr/bin or /usr/local/bin), you do not need to use
--with-gimp-prefix or --with-gimp-exec-prefix, and therefore do
not need to use this workaround.
The Gimp-Print and GIMP projects recommend upgrading to a newer
revision of the GIMP 1.2 (at the time these release notes are
written, the latest version is 1.2.5), which will not require
this workaround. This workaround is available in the event that
you cannot or do not wish to upgrade your installation of the
GIMP.

Gimp-Print 4.2.3 for Mac OS X Jaguar
Gimp-Print 4.2.3 for Mac OS X Jaguar
10/25/2002 07:23 AMRelease announcement: Gimp-Print 4.2.3 for Mac OS X Jaguar (and Darwin
6.0) is available today as a standard Mac OS X installer package!
Please see the web page for Mac users at
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3 for up-to-date
information and the latest downloads. For a complete list of changes
in
this version of Gimp-Print please visit the website or read the
release
notes included on the installer disk image.
Installing and using Gimp-Print is easy, but the set-up process for
Mac
OS X is not obvious. The Gimp-Print disk image contains an
easy-to-follow, illustrated set-up guide, "How to Print with
Gimp-Print."
For full functionality on Mac OS X users need to also install ESP
Ghostscript, a free, open-souce PostScript RIP built specifically for
use with the CUPS print spooler. As a bonus, installing ESP
Ghostscript
will provide Postscript Level3 support for raster printers. Download
links are provided on the Gimp-Print web page at
http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3
Product Description:
High Quality, cross-platform, open-source printer drivers for Epson,
Canon, Lexmark, and HP printers. Gimp-Print is licensed under the GNU
GPL and available free of charge.
On Mac OS X Jaguar the Gimp-Print printer drivers act as plugins to
the
built-in CUPS print spooler. All earlier versions of Mac OS do not
contain CUPS and, therefore, are not compatible with Gimp-Print.
Gimp-Print provides excellent drivers for many printers that are
otherwise unsupported on Mac OS X (Gimp-Print supports almost every
Epson inkjet!). Even for printers with available vendor-supplied
drivers the Gimp-Print drivers often offer more printing options and
may provide superior results. The Gimp-Print drivers will print to any
supported printer via USB, TCP/IP (including through inexpensive
parallel-port print servers), and even to shared Windows printers via
SAMBA.
