Corrected color matching profile used for Mac OS X 10.5.x. sRGB will now be used instead of Generic RGB. Users with work-flows dependant on the previously used Generic RGB can select this color profile in the print window by using ColorSync to choose the profile rather than using VendorMatching.
Add additional photo modes to Canon inkjet printers.
Correct page size limit for EPSON Stylus Pro 7600, 7800, 7880, 9600, 9800, and 9880 previously these printers had overly restrictive page limits.
Correct printing to the EPSON Stylus NX200, NX215, SX200, SX205, SX210, and SX215.
Corrected basic printer definitions of EPSON Stylus Pro 3800, 3880, 7800, and 9800.
Corrected media definitions and improve printing quality for EPSON Stylus Pro 3800, 3880, 4800, 4880, 7800, 7880, 9800, 9880, 11800, and 11880. This will result in substantial changes in output; if this is an issue, please use the EPSON Stylus Pro 7600 or 9600 driver as appropriate. There are new printer definitions named EPSON Stylus Pro 4800/4880 Back Compatible and EPSON Stylus Pro 11800/11880 Back Compatible available for people with existing tuned workflows for those printers.
There are no back compatibility modes for the EPSON Stylus Pro 3800 and 3880 as those printers were previously marked experimental with a note that their output was expected to change substantially.
Allow EPSON Stylus Pro 3800 and 3880 to select matte and photo black ink automatically based on ink set choice it is no longer necessary to set this on the front panel.
Corrected base density for Photo Paper on printers using Claria ink use 20 less ink. The default results in heavy ink puddling in some cases.
Improved reliability of escputil.
A problem whereby an attempt to use the the optional ink map curves e. g. Cyan Hue Map with the EPSON Stylus Photo R800, R1800, and R1900 would cause an error has been fixed.
The Dutch and Italian translations have been updated.
A Slovenian translation has been added.

Gutenprint 5.2.0-rc1
2008-10-05
The Gutenprint 5.2.0-rc1 5.2.0.5 release is a release candidate of the forthcoming 5.2.x stable release. There are several notable changes since the Gutenprint 5.2.0-beta4:
Gutenprint 5.2 no longer supports Macintosh OS X 10.2; it now requires 10.3 Panther or higher. This is due to a new library requirement for the iconv library that is not present in 10.2.
The CUPS driver correctly prints page sizes larger than letter on PCL printers this was broken in 5.2.0-beta4 only.
The CD position on the R1900 has been corrected.
Printing on the Epson Stylus DX8400/DX8450 has been corrected the CX8400 was corrected in the previous release. Previously, these printers fed paper endlessly without printing.
Color and tonal correctness at low and medium resolutions has been fixed on many Epson Stylus multi-function devices, including:
Stylus CX3500, Stylus CX3600, Stylus CX3650, Stylus CX5100, Stylus CX4200, Stylus CX4500, Stylus CX4600, Stylus CX4700, Stylus CX4800, Stylus CX4900, Stylus CX5000, Stylus CX5000F, Stylus CX5700, Stylus CX5800, Stylus CX6000, Stylus CX7000F, Stylus CX7800, Stylus CX8300, Stylus CX8400, Stylus CX9400, Stylus DX4200, Stylus DX4250, Stylus DX4800, Stylus DX7000F, Stylus DX8400, Stylus DX8450, PX A650
The user manual has been updated.
Additional bug fixes and new features are listed in the release notes.
Gutenprint 5.2.0-beta4
2008-08-17
The Gutenprint 5.2.0-beta4 5.2.0.4 release is the third beta release of the forthcoming 5.2.x stable release. There are several notable changes since the Gutenprint 5.2.0-beta3:
Certain legacy applications most notably Microsoft Office did not print correctly on printers capable of high resolution, due to inability to handle the specified resolutions. This release works around that issue by not advertising very high resolutions in a way that these applications will fail on.
PPD files are now globalized. They include, by default, all localizations in a single file. Mac OS X 10.5.x will be able to use the translations. Mac OS X 10.3.x and OS X 10.4.x will ignore the extra language support.
The CUPS driver is now localized using built-in code, hopefully eliminating problems with PPD files not always being translated properly.
Progress and error messages produced by the CUPS raster driver are now localized.
The CUPS driver will no longer attempt to find a matching predefined page size when a custom page size is passed in. This yields more accurate printing sizes for custom paper sizes. In addition, it avoids a problem with unnecessary margins being imposed when the paper size is approximately 4.7x6.8 120x173mm due to a specific defined page size with those dimensions and tear-off borders.
Borderless support has been added to the Epson Stylus Pro 7600/9600 and the margins have been corrected.
Quality presets have been added to the PCL HP printers and laser printers.
Print quality has been improved on the Epson B-300 and related printers.
Printing has been corrected in borderless mode on the Epson Stylus C110 and C120 printers. The specific issue is that printing near the bottom of the page was compressed vertically. This problem is related to, but not identical to, the previous issue.
Print quality has been improved at very high resolutions resolution settings of 2880x2880 and 5760x2880 DPI, or quality settings of Ultra Photo or Best when high quality photo papers are in use on a large number of Epson photo-oriented inkjet printers. The specific issue is that print showed fine lines without actually fading near the bottom of the page. This issue was present in both borderless and non-borderless printing.
The Epson Stylus Photo R800 now works properly. It was broken in 5.2.0-beta2 and would not print at all.
New printers supported in this release:
EpsonB-300
EpsonB-308
EpsonB-500N
EpsonB-508N
Epson Offirio PX-B300 preliminary

Gutenprint 5.2.0-beta3
2008-06-15
The Gutenprint 5.2.0-beta3 5.2.0.3 release is the second beta release of the forthcoming 5.2.x stable release. There are several notable changes since the Gutenprint 5.2.0-beta2:
Macintosh users of OS X 10.4.x and later may notice a slightly different color output beginning with this release. All printer PPDs now specify the use of the sRGB and the Generic CMYK color profiles rather than having the system use default color profiles.
A problem whereby some rows are not printed in color on the Epson Stylus CX3700 and related printers has been fixed.
A problem whereby with certain combinations of options the output appeared discontinuous gradients would get darker then abruptly lighten has been fixed.
escputil now distinguishes between the two black cartridges in the Epson Stylus C120.
Printing speed, and possibly quality, have been improved in certain cases on newer Epson inkjet printers C120, Stylus Photo 2400, RX700, and all printers using Claria ink. The speed improvement should be most noticeable with plain paper at lower resolutions. Quality improvements may or may not be noticeable.
The Epson driver is in the process of being converted to use data stored in files external to the binary library. While this should have no impact on end-user use, it is a substantial change that people should be aware of. Please report any issues.
Over 450 additional black and white laser printers from Brother, HP, and the Ricoh family of printers.
Gutenprint 5.2.0-beta2
2008-04-28
The Gutenprint 5.2.0-beta2 5.1.98.2 release is the first beta release of the forthcoming 5.2 stable release. It brings together the work from the stable 5.0.x branch and the developemental branch 5.1.x. As of 5.2 and until further notice, Gutenprint will no longer deliver separate development and stable series. There are several notable changes since the previous releases:
Support for generic large format PCL laser printers has been added
Printing for the Canon PIXMA iP4500 has been fixed
L-size phot paper 3 1/2 x 5 inches has been added.
Gutenprint 5.1.7
2008-03-05
Gutenprint 5.1.7 is a release of the developmental branch of Gutenprint 5.1. The 5.1.7 release supports additional printers and offers some important bug fixes along with additional features. The most important changes for Mac OS X users are:
Added support for the following printers:

EPSON Stylus Photo RX685
Note: Not all of the PictureMate printers have been fully tuned at this point.
Printing near the bottom of the page has been improved for many modern Epson inkjet printers. In addition, we have determined that most of these printers can print with consistent high quality at 2880x2880 and 5760x2880 DPI. Therefore, these resolutions will be used for Ultra Photo and Best qualities respectively on these printers. Printers affected include:
Stylus Photo R800, R1800, PM-G820
Stylus Photo R2400
All printers using Claria ink
Envelope paper sizes are now offered in both portrait and landscape form factor, as some printers expect envelopes to be fed long edge first while some expect them to be fed short edge first.
PCL laser printers now offer paper trays with adjustable guides. Many laser printers use adjustable guides for manual feed of papers narrower than letter size.
Two new dither algorithms, Segmented and Segmented New, have been added. These are not intended for normal use, and will normally behave like Ordered and Ordered New. However, if Raw color correction is selected and a printer with multiple drop sizes is used, the range of input will be divided up such that the high order bits will select the drop size to be used and the lower bits will specify the amount of ink. High order bits of 0 indicate that all drop sizes should be used.
Additional information can be found in the release notes.
Gutenprint 5.1.6
2008-01-05
Gutenprint 5.1.6 is a release of the developmental branch of Gutenprint 5.1. The 5.1.6 release supports additional printers and offers some important bug fixes over 5.1.4 - the last Mac OS X developmental release. The most important changes are:
A bug involving excessive memory consumption in certain cases has been fixed. Printing multiple page documents on Canon inkjet printers with the Duplex option set to Long Edge resulted in very large memory consumption on alternate pages, which was not released until the job completed.
Added support for the following printers:
Epson Stylus C110
Epson Stylus C120
Epson Stylus D120
Epson PX V780
Sharp AR-M257
Added preliminary support for the following printers:
Canon Pixma iP8500
Canon Pixma MP610
Canon Pixma Pro 9500
Canon i80
A new dither algorithm, Ordered New, has been added. This dither algorithm is most likely to improve output at low resolutions, particularly when printing black and white. It will only help on printers offering multiple drop sizes.
The color correction for the Canon PIXMA iP4200 has been improved.
The PPD file parsing code in the Postscript driver has been rewritten. Gutenprint may now be used with any code licensed as GPL v2 or any later version of the GPL.
The CUPS driver in Gutenprint, and all associated utilities, are now licensed as GPL v2 or higher. That code was previously licensed as GPL v2 only. While that did not cause any direct problems, since the CUPS driver does not form a library that other code may wish to link against, it was licensed differently from the rest of the Gutenprint project. That is now resolved, and the entire Gutenprint code base is now licensed as GPL v2 or higher.
2008-01-03
Gutenprint 5.0.2 is a release of the stable branch of Gutenprint 5.0. The 5.0.2 release supports additional printers and offers some important bug fixes over 5.0.1. The most important changes are:

2004-07-14
Gimp-Print version 4.2.7 contains the following improvements over Gimp-Print 4.2.6:
New Functionality:
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.
The HP LaserJet 1012 and Brother HL-1440 printers are now supported.
Super A0 and Super B0 paper sizes are now supported.
Translations for Hungarian, Ukrainian, and Norwegian/Bokmaal have been added. In addition, other translations have been updated.
Major bugs fixed :
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 project download site and more information about usbtb is available here. 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 CUPS printer driver under OS X.
bug 907765 The CUPS driver now reports pages starting from page 1 rather than page 0 as was previously the case.
bug 919224 The Postscript output driver in the GIMP plugin now functions correctly in non-US locales when a PPD file is provided.
bug 919225 A segmentation violation on the IA64 platform is fixed.
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.
bug 919226 The horizontal printing position on the Epson Stylus C63/C64 and C83/C84 printers has been fixed.
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.
bug 924862 The package now operates correctly with on Solaris and other systems using an external libintl.
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.
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.
bug 971832 The HP DesignJet 2500 and 3500 now support correct maximum page widths of 36 and 54 respectively, rather than 44 for both.
bug 971833 The PPD files now use the recommended manufacturer names. Previously, certain CUPS applications could display the manufacturer names incorrectly.
The History of Gimp-Print The early years: Gimp-Print 3.x and 4.0
The predecessor to this software package the original Print plugin for the GIMP was first written by Michael Sweet of Easy Software Products and initially worked only as a print plugin to the GIMP GNU Image Manipulation Program. In the summer of 1999, I purchased an Epson Stylus Photo EX printer to feed my photography hobby. Finding no existing printer drivers, I adapted Mike s GIMP Print plugin to this six-color printer, and by the end of the year released version 3.0 of the Gimp-Print software, which was included in version 1.1 of the GIMP. The intention was for this to be the stable plugin in version 1.2 of the GIMP while development of the GIMP Print plugin continued for later release.
I put the Gimp-Print development tree on SourceForge starting with version 3.1, and quickly found a group of like-minded people who wanted to print high quality output on inexpensive inkjet printers. One of the main goals, which was not expected to be met until late in the version 3.1 cycle, was to write a Ghostscript driver so that printing would not be restricted to the GIMP. Much to my surprise, someone wrote one within days. That gave me my first clue that the project was destined for greater things.
In July 2000, barely a year after I bought my Epson Stylus Photo EX, I was invited to the Linux Printing Summit hosted by VA Linux Systems. In preparation for that, I spent long hours printing out test images. I went back to the Gimp-Print version 3.0.9 release, which seemed like such an advance at the time, and was floored at how far the project had come in four months. Output that had been considered impressive with using six colors was put to shame by four color output. That should give you an idea what modern printing technology can do. It also illustrates what a group of committed people can do.
I came away from the Printing Summit with a lot of new ideas. Other people were busy adding new features and support for more printers, and in November 2000, we released Gimp-Print version 4.0, the culmination of 9 months of work by the team. The quality was already tremendously improved over what the software could do at the Printing Summit.
I knew at the time that Gimp-Print 4.0 had some serious limitations that would restrict what could be done. In particular, its color model was very restricted it could only handle RGB and CMYK printers, possibly with light magenta and light yellow inks and the code was still closely tied in with the Print plugin for the GIMP. I wanted to devise a new architecture for the next release that would allow us to take advantage of more printer capabilities and support improved color generation and dithering, but progress was slow. It took us a few months to fully stabilize Gimp-Print 4.0, and it became clear that our more ambitious goals weren t going to be achieved quickly. We decided to do an interim stable release based on improvements to the 4.0 codebase that would give us some breathing space while we worked on a new architecture.
Gimp-Print 4.2
The interim stable release was to become Gimp-Print 4.2. We used the numbering scheme adopted by the Linux kernel team, whereby stable releases were denoted by even numbers in the minor release the 2 in 4.2 while odd numbers denoted unstable development releases. We were fortunate that Roger Leigh joined the project shortly after the Gimp-Print 4.0 release. Roger is a superb architect, and he quickly whipped the somewhat disorganized code base into shape. We spent most of 2001 cleaning up the code base, adding support for CUPS by now, Mike Sweet had joined the project and the nascent Foomatic metadata management project, improving the color generation and dithering code, and adding support for more printers. A lot of our work went into automatically generating the CUPS PPD files and Foomatic data; the project already supported about 200 printers with a large number of options, and writing all of this by hand would be tedious, error-prone, and unmaintainable. We spent most of the fall working on documentation, cleaning up bugs, and the like, and released Gimp-Print 4.2.0 in late November.
Anticipating that the next major release of Gimp-Print would be a more extensive project, we decided to branch the 4.2 release, and work on the next release which would be either 4.4 or 5.0, depending upon how extensive the changes would be while also releasing updates to 4.2. This would allow us to fix bugs and add new printers and perhaps minor new capabilities for users wanting a stable Gimp-Print release while making much more radical changes in preparation for the next release. We started work on Gimp-Print 4.3 the development series that would eventually mature into the next stable release series around the beginning of 2002.
The Gimp-Print 4.2 release proved to be far more successful than we ever imagined. First of all, it was wonderfully stable from the outset; it was to be over 4 months before we needed to release an update. We added one major new feature shortly after release, support for the new Ghostscript driver architecture based on HP s HPIJS driver. This driver architecture allowed drivers to be compiled independently of Ghostscript previously drivers had to be compiled into Ghostscript, a somewhat daunting project for end users. We continued to add more printers, dither algorithms, and so forth, all without breaking compatibility with the initial 4.2.0 release.
2002 was a very exciting year for Gimp-Print. Apple had released OS X for the Macintosh and was planning to rely on a lot of free/open source software for key functions of the OS. In particular from our standpoint, many vendors had not updated printer drivers for OS X, and many did not want to update their drivers for older printers. Since OS X had settled on CUPS as the core of its printing system from 10.2 on, and Gimp-Print had full support for CUPS, the fit was very obvious and Gimp-Print wound up becoming part of the OS X printing system. We were very busy that year preparing for release of Gimp-Print for OS X. This was done in 4.2.2, which we released almost 9 months after the initial 4.2.0 release which says something about the stability of Gimp-Print 4.2. This release created a lot of excitement in the OS X world and for us, and we did three more releases in quick succession culminating with Gimp-Print 4.2.5 in early 2003.
I was expecting that there would be one more release of Gimp-Print 4.2 that would primarily contain bug fixes and incremental support for new printers. By 2003, many of the printers being released had capabilities beyond what Gimp-Print 4.2 could support. I also expected that we would be ready to release Gimp-Print 4.4 or 5.0 within a year, so there wouldn t be a need for anything more. We released Gimp-Print 4.2.6 in early 2004. However, there were still some problems with that release, and we did one more release 4.2.7 in July 2004. This wound up being the final Gimp-Print 4.2 release.
Gimp-Print Becomes Gutenprint
In the meantime, work on Gimp-Print 4.3 was progressing, albeit rather slowly. We wanted to support the newest generation printers with tiny droplets, very high resolutions, and extra colors, in addition to adding color management and the possibility of supporting many more printer capabilities beyond the fixed set offered in Gimp-Print 4.2. In part due to all of the maintenance work on 4.2, and in part due to the natural tendency of people to move on to other projects, we made only slow progress on Gimp-Print 4.3. It was clear that we weren t going to release a next generation of Gimp-Print in 2002 or early 2003 as we hoped. However, the success of Gimp-Print 4.2 took some of the pressure off, because 4.2 was proving to be highly maintainable. We wanted the next generation of Gimp-Print to be more than just another incremental advance.
The core of the new parameter-based API, and hence of Gimp-Print 4.3, was in place by early 2003. By this time, 4.2 was slowing down, and work on our development tree was starting to pick up. We decided that the architectural and user experience changes were sufficient to name the next release 5.0, and I put together a plan for going to alpha in July and releasing 5.0 in November 2003. That was not to be.
We were doing new releases of 4.3 for intrepid adventurers every few weeks, with extensive changes continuing, and it was only in December that we finally felt ready to move to 5.0 alpha, which we released in January 2004. Progress was slow; there were still quite a few API changes we felt we needed to make, and there were still serious quality problems with many printers. In addition, new printers were being shipped with additional inks that we couldn t handle very well. We also had to adapt to other changes, such as GIMP 2.0 based on GTK 2.0, which was not backward compatible with GTK /GIMP 1.2. We released Gimp-Print 5.0 beta in June with many improvements, but there were still quite a few things on our release checklist that weren t done.
Based on the popularity of Gimp-Print 4.2, we decided that it was very important that Gimp-Print 5.0 not interfere with the use of Gimp-Print 4.2. It was clear that the changes in 5.0 were too extensive to maintain compatibility in any useful way with 4.2, and a lot of people had incorporated 4.2 into their daily work, so we thought long and hard about how to make the CUPS and Foomatic interfaces not interfere with Gimp-Print 4.2.
It also became apparent that our ties to the GIMP had all but vanished by this point. We had actually squeezed all of the GIMP-related code out into a very small stub that was actually smaller than the original GIMP plugin. Furthermore, the Gimp-Print name was causing a lot of confusion among users; OS X users in parrticular were referring to Gimp-Print as Gimp. We settled on the name Gutenprint, and renamed the project in the fall of 2004.
We were still in beta; progress was slow at this point, but we weren t satisfied with the results. We finally did our first release candidate in September 2005, over a year after we entered beta. We continued to move toward 5.0 release, but there was still a lot of cleanup work that needed to be done: printers needed to be retuned, PPD files needed to be validated, we needed to incorporate feedback from users that we only really started to get from the release candidates. There were a number of serious but subtle bugs with the CUPS and Foomatic interfaces that needed to be fixed in order to have a useful 5.0 public release.
In April 2006 I attended my second printing summit, this one hosted by Lanier, and spent three days working with many key players in the Linux/UNIX printing world. This was very productive; I got a lot of useful feedback on various issues and was able to raise issues important to Gutenprint. We released the third release candidate in May 2006, with a tremendous number of bug fixes and improvements, and this finally felt like a real release candidate. We received extensive feedback from this release, and fixed other problems and made some other changes to improve quality.
Unfortunately, we didn t accomplish all of our goals for Gutenprint 5.0. We have not incorporated true color management; our Postscript output driver in the GIMP plugin and indeed, the GIMP plugin itself is still in need of a rewrite; the drivers other than the Epson driver haven t been fully updated to take advantage of the capabilities of Gutenprint 5.0. However, these changes can be made later, either in later 5.0 releases or in the next release series. Gutenprint is not finished and never will be.

THREE TIMES FASTER. Canon Pro9000 Mark II Refines a Classic. By MIKE PASINI Editor The Imaging Resource Digital Photography Newsletter. Review Date: June 2009.
