Gutenprint, the continuation of Gimp-Print, includes a collection of print drivers that work with most Unix and Linux print spoolers. For example, CUPS, lpr and LPRng are supported. Gutenprint started out as a plugin for Gimp to provide better printing results, but has evolved over the years into a complete collection of printer drivers. There are currently more than 1400 different printers supported. The developers have since released version 5.2.5 of Gutenprint with the following list of changes:

Add Device ID strings for printers for which they are known.

Correctly handle installable options in PPD files in PostScript driver.

Correctly handle certain PPD files that previously caused the PostScript driver (and hence the Enhanced Print plugin) to crash.

Changed a number of laser printers by Gestetner, Infotec, Lanier, NRG, Ricoh, Savin, and Xerox to be large format (A3/tabloid instead of A4/letter). Please inform us at [email protected] if you encounter other printers that should be changed.

Make the QualityEnhancement option (available in the Epson driver for certain printers) function correctly.

Alow Epson printers using Claria inks to select quadtone or hextone output.

Corrected escputil status output for Epson Artisan and TX/SX 7xx/8xx printer families and for a number of the R-series printers.

Add support for EA5 envelope (paper size).

Fixed the margins for the HP LaserJet 2100 and 2100M with A4 paper. It is likely that other printers will need similar correction.

Update the German translation.
