ANNOUNCE: Gimp-Print 4.3.12

Gimp-Print 4.3.12, released March 29, 2003, is a development release of this package.

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 plugin for the Gimp requires the Gimp 1.2 (later versions of the Gimp are not supported).

The CUPS driver requires CUPS 1.1.15 or higher.

The IJS-based 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.

Please read the README file for full instructions on installing this package.

Gimp-Print 4.3.12 contains the following major changes over Gimp-Print 4.3.11:

1) It is now possible to use all supported floating point and string options with the CUPS driver. At present, the CUPS driver supports all options other than curves.

2) The ink type setting is now optional for the Epson driver. If the default setting is chosen in the CUPS driver, or the check box for this is left unchecked in the GIMP plugin, an appropriate ink type will be selected for the paper and printer chosen.

3) Full bleed is now offered as an option on Epson printers that support it. The full bleed now correctly overprints the edge of the paper.

4) The contrast adjustment now has an option to use either linear contrast adjustment (which is what Gimp-print has traditionally used) or fixed endpoint (which is what most applications use).

5) All printers will now work correctly with EvenTone dithering.

6) Problems with the Epson Stylus Photo 2100/2200 and Epson Stylus Pro 10000 have been fixed.
