Fancy a job?

Fancy a job? 06/29/2004 12:28 PM

My placement here in Lawrence, Kansas comes to an end in a few months time, and I'm now in the interesting position of needing to find my own replacement. I'm not going to beat around the bush: this is a fantastic job and an excellent opportunity for anyone looking for a way in to the online news industry. The team here has won so many awards it's hard to keep track of them all, and is very well respected within the industry.

We're looking for an experienced server-side web developer. Our platform here is mod_python on Apache, but detailed knowledge of Python is not as important as a solid understanding of the web, web technologies and how to build useful web applications. Some Linux systems administration experience is essential as we are responsible for a number of servers. Applicants must have a solid understanding of SQL (we use PostgreSQL) and relational database theory. Design skills are not important: we have a talented designer on staff (who is also a dab hand at CSS).

So why would you want to move to a tiny town in the middle of Kansas to work for a local newspaper? Firstly, Lawrence is not at all like the rest of the state. It's a college town (home of the University of Kansas) with a vibrant downtown area, a thriving music scene and a great atmosphere. The cost of living is low, the quality of living high and the bright lights of Kansas City are only a 40 minute drive away. Check out our local entertainment site, Lawrence.com, for an idea of just how much this little town has going for it.

More to the point though, you should move out here because this is a job like no other. We work in a highly creative atmosphere, with the time between someone having a great idea and that idea rolling out on one of our sites measured in days, if not hours. Our unofficial mission statement (according to my boss, Rob Curley) is to "build cool shit" - and we do. I've written very little about things we've done here over the past year but I plan to make up for it this week by publishing an entry every day focusing on one of the sites we've built.

If you have any questions, post a comment or contact me directly. If you want to apply, send a résumé to aholovaty and swillison both at ljworld.com.

Adrian has more information.

Google IPO Scam Victims Fooled By Fancy
Wall Street Terms 05/10/2004 02:32 PM
Back in March we wrote about a scam from someone who convin ced a lot of people who should know better he could sell them pre-IPO Google shares. Among the still unnamed victims were "the chairman of a global telecommunications company, a New York investment banker, a corporate attorney and a senior executive at a brokerage firm." These folks forked over half a million dollars without any due diligence to the guy who claimed to know the founders of Google from attending Stanford (which he didn't) and via working at Kleiner Perkins (again not true). We also had a post noting that a simple search query on the guy's name, though not on Google, would have turned up his questionable history. It appears that the NY Times has just discovered the story, but did a little extra sleuthing to point out that, beyond their scam-blinding greed to get in on the Google IPO, what really fooled these investment bankers and big time executives was the sophisticated Wall Street lingo used by the scammer. It turns out that if you just say "participation agreement," "stock purchase agreement" and "promissory note," combined with "Google IPO" wealthy stock brokers and executives will simply open their wallets for you. Also worth noting is that the scammer doesn't appear to have stored away most of his ill-gotten gains, but rather spent a large portion of it partying at expensive clubs and restaurants.

ANNOUNCE: Gimp-Print 4.2.4

ANNOUNCE: Gimp-Print 4.2.4 11/26/2002 12:20 PM
Gimp-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). The following bugs have been fixed in Gimp-Print 4.2.4: 603702 QUALITY-HP LaserJet 5L print is too light 619537 QUALITY - Poor quality w/ Lexmark OprtaE+ and pcl-4 628698 Lexmark color reversal 630365 Epson Stylus Photo 950: Enlarged image with some 1440/2800 631498 Canon driver does not support A3 page size for large format 631936 HP DesignJet Margin Problems 631993 Macintosh OS X: Custom page size problems w/some apps 633910 Epson 1520 ppd bug gimp-print 4.2.3 The following bugs are currently open: 409612 Minor positioning prob on 4x6 glossy 538097 QUALITY-Poor quality printing on Canon s400 549677 Incorrect scaling on Canon BJC-1000 557868 QUALITY-Washed out color under Gimp on HP560c 581168 Canon BJC 250 just spits out pages 601767 Mac OS X: Canon BJC 2100 does not print multiple pages 602933 QUALITY-Poor quality on Canon S800 613054 Mac OS X: Printing from InDesign 2.0 on OS 10.2.1 614882 QUALITY - Problems with CANON BJC-55 - Gimp-Print 619299 QUALITY - brightness adjustment problem 621668 Epson Stylus full bleed prints have slight margin 625780 Epson Stylus Pro 5000 does not print 627266 Epson Stylus Pro Autoselect paper feed broken 627978 QUALITY: Canon BJC-6500 has magenta cast. 631937 HP DesignJet Sheet Cutter Problem 639356 Build system: The version of libtool is too old 641992 HP DesignJet 455CA printing rotated 90 641981 HP DesignJet 455 too light 641628 QUALITY: Epson Stylus 2200 print quality is low in 7-color

Gimp-Print 4.2.6 (stable)

Gimp-Print 4.2.6 (stable) 01/16/2004 11:05 AM
Gimp-Print 4.2.6, released January 11, 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. 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 is not supported at this time. 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 4.2.6 contains the following major changes over Gimp-Print 4.2.5: * Major bugs fixed: 1) (bug 627266) The CUPS driver offers an "Autoselect" option for the media source (input slot). This behavior cannot be disabled. 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.

Gimp-Print 4.2.7 release

Gimp-Print 4.2.7 release 07/16/2004 06:52 PM
Gimp-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. The following bugs have been fixed in Gimp-Print 4.2.7: 613054 Mac OS X: Printing from InDesign 2.0 on OS 10.2.1 855685 escputil does not return status for C84 907765 CUPS filter `progress meter' reports incorrect page number 919224 Postscript driver fails in non-US locale with a PPD file 919225 segv on ia64 from lack of prototype for strdup 919226 Incorrect horizontal offset on Epson C64 and C84 printers 924862 Gimp-print breaks thebuild script of the GIMP 2.0 on Solaris 929227 Gimp-Print incorrectly attempts to build against GIMP 2.0 971832 HP DesignJet 2500/3500 have incorrect widths 971833 CUPS PPD manufacturer names violate spec (4.2) 972014 eksprx600_610.ppd crashes gimp-print-4.2.6-4 The following bugs are currently open: 470049 CUPS PPD files not translated on all systems 538097 QUALITY-Canon S400 dark and yellow cast 549677 Canon BJC-1000 functions incorrectly at 720x360 DPI 557868 QUALITY-HP DeskJet 560 is washed out 581168 Canon BJC 250 just spits out pages 601767 Mac OS X: Canon BJC 2100 does not print multiple pages 602933 QUALITY-Canon S800 dark and grainy 614882 QUALITY - Canon BJC-55 is too pale and desaturated 621668 Epson Stylus full bleed prints have slight margin 627978 QUALITY: Canon BJC-6500 has magenta cast. 631937 HP DesignJet Sheet Cutter Problem 641981 QUALITY: HP DesignJets print too light 645116 QUALITY: HP DeskJet regression from 4.1.7 647035 QUALITY: Colors don't match OEM drivers 662988 HP DeskJet 970Cxi page horizontally squeezed 672692 Epson photo 700 single page of multi page job 687656 Paper Positioning Problems Epson 7600 704334 QUALITY: Epson SP 2100: Green Cast/Dark Colours/Poor Greys 811062 Reverse printing

Gimp-Print 4.2.5 released

Gimp-Print 4.2.5 released 01/27/2003 01:27 AM
Gimp-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.

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 625780 Epson Stylus Pro 5000 does not print 639356 Build system: libtool 1.4.2 does not work on all platforms 641628 QUALITY: Epson Stylus 2200 print quality is low in 7-color 645895 Epson stc640 does not print at 720dpi and above 646158 Build:DESTDIR broken in make install in print plugin 649253 QUALITY - Epson 950/960 problems in all resolutions 659543 escputil Epson Photo 950 Ink level wrong 672845 Buffer overflow in escputil 672846 rastertoprinter does not compile on Solaris with gcc 672850 Epson back end in CUPS driver can lock up The following bugs are currently open: 409612 Epson: Minor positioning problem on 4x6 glossy 470049 CUPS PPD files not translated on all systems 538097 QUALITY-Canon S400 dark and yellow cast 549677 Canon BJC-1000 functions incorrectly at 720x360 DPI 557868 QUALITY-HP DeskJet 560 is washed out 581168 Canon BJC 250 just spits out pages 601767 Mac OS X: Canon BJC 2100 does not print multiple pages 602933 QUALITY-Canon S800 dark and grainy 613054 Mac OS X: Printing from InDesign 2.0 on OS 10.2.1 614882 QUALITY - Canon BJC-55 is too pale and desaturated 621668 Epson Stylus full bleed prints have slight margin 627266 Mac OS X: Autoselect option incorrectly offered 627978 QUALITY: Canon BJC-6500 has magenta cast. 631937 HP DesignJet Sheet Cutter Problem 641981 QUALITY: HP DesignJet 455 too light 645116 QUALITY: HP DeskJet regression from 4.1.7 647035 QUALITY: Colors don't match OEM drivers 662988 HP DeskJet 970Cxi page horizontally squeezed 668342 Canon S-450 prints only one page of a job 672692 Epson photo 700 single page of multi page job

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 AM
Release 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.

I couldn't get this printer to print using the Samsung drivers. So I then used the Xerox Phaser 6100 drivers, which is the same printer, and they worked fine.
