II) MAJOR CHANGES FROM PREVIOUS RELEASES -A) MAJOR CHANGES BETWEEN GUTENPRINT 5.0.0 RELEASE CANDIDATE 3 AND - GUTENPRINT 5.0.0: - - 1) A serious problem with margins when printing from CUPS in some - cases was introduced in Gutenprint 5.0.0-rc3. The symptoms are - that when printing certain kinds of material on certain printers, - the print is positioned incorrectly on the page (too far to the - right and too far down the page). This problem has been fixed. - - 2) The Ghostscript driver used with Foomatic now prints all pages of - a document correctly. Previously it did not print any page - except the first page of a document, or printed all other pages - with possibly incorrect settings (bug 1501816). - - 3) A new user's manual has been added in - doc/gutenprint-users-manual.odt (ODF format) and - doc/gutenprint-users-manual.pdf, replacing the old manual that - was based on Gimp-Print 4.2 (bug 1260142). - - 4) The Postscript driver now handles PPD files with non-integer - imageable areas correctly in all locales (the PPD files certain - HP inkjet printers using the HPIJS driver have non-integer - imageable areas for some paper sizes). In 5.0.0-rc3, this was - handled incorrectly in locales that do not use the decimal point - (".") for separating fractions from integers. - - 5) The PPD file parameter is now always accessible when using the - Postscript driver in third party Gutenprint-enabled applications. - This was not an issue with the enhanced Print plugin for the - GIMP. - - 6) The Epson driver now chooses unidirectional vs. bidirectional - mode more intelligently on new printers that are capable of - producing excellent quality in bidirectional mode at high - resolutions. This improves printing speed with the default - settings in certain cases and in some cases improves print - quality. - - 7) The Epson driver offers the same quality choices as 5.0.0-rc2 for - certain new printers such as the R800, R1800, and R2400. Certain - quality choices (in particular Super Photo and Ultra Photo) were - not available in 5.0.0-rc3. - - 8) Various minor problems in the PPD files have been fixed. The - most notable change is that the names of the option groups have - been shortened so that they are shorter than 40 characters in all - cases except for one case in French. - - 9) The French, Danish, Hungarian, and Swedish translations have been - updated. - - 10) In the GIMP 2.4 and above (forthcoming as of Gutenprint 5.0 - release), the enhanced Print plugin will be named "Print with - Gutenprint" so as not to collide with the GtkPrint-based plugin - bundled with that version of the GIMP. The Print plugin bundled - with GIMP 2.0 and 2.2 is based on Gimp-Print 4.2; the Print - plugin in this package simply replaces the Print plugin in those - versions of the GIMP (related to bug 1444700). - - 11) Crashes in the Ghostscript and IJS drivers on certain non-Linux - platforms have been fixed (bug 1518126). - - 12) A problem with margins with A4 paper on Kyocera printers has - been fixed (bug 1518131). - - 13) A problem with the preview in the GIMP 1.2 plugin (which also - affects Cinepaint) not being updated properly if orientation - changes has been fixed. - - 14) A problem with Foomatic data generation in certain locales has - been fixed (bug 1033007). - - 15) The Epson Stylus Photo R800 and R1800 now print closer to the - bottom edge of the page. - -The following bugs open in prereleases have been fixed in Gutenprint -5.0.0: - -1033007 Foomatic XML data generation is locale-dependent -1260142 User documentation needs updating for 5.0.0 -1444700 print menu item on wrong position -1501816 ijsgutenprint/foomatic only prints first page -1518126 rastertogutenprint core dumps on Solaris 10 -1518131 Kyocera KM-2530 CUPS+Gutenprint PPD - A4 paper +A) NEW FEATURES AND FIXES IN GUTENPRINT 5.0.1: + + 1) New printers supported in this release: + + * Dye sublimation printers using the Olympus driver: + + Canon CP-10 + Fujifilm FinePix NX-500 + Kodak Easyshare Printer + Olympus P-S100 + Sony DPP-EX5 + Sony UP-DR100 + + * Canon inkjet printers: + + The support for these printers is under development, and there + may be issues with these printers.

The small format Claria-based printers (R260, + R390, RX580, and related printers) offer 720x360 and 720 DPI + modes approximately equal in quality to the Enhanced and High + Quality modes on the 1400 without a speed penalty. + + * Lexmark inkjet and compatible printers: + + Compaq IJ1200 + Lexmark X73 + + * PCL laser printers (monochrome only): + + Lexmark Optra E220 + Xerox WorkCentre M118 + + 2) CUPS 1.2 is now supported using on-the-fly PPD file generation. + In addition, the resolution names are all compliant with the PPD + specification. cups-genppdupdate correctly updates on-the-fly + PPD files. The PPD files now use the correct UTF-8 encoding. + + 3) The native CUPS driver offers a new Shrink Page If Necessary to + Fit Borders option, enabling the user to choose how to fit the + output to the imageable area of the page. This is useful when a + printer offers a choice of imageable areas, typically normal + (which has margins) and full bleed (which allows printing to the + edge of the paper, or even beyond). The following options are + available: + + * Shrink (default): the output is shrunk if necessary to fit the + imageable area of the page. If a printer is capable of + borderless operation but normal margins are selected, the + output will be shrunk. This will print the entire page + (nothing will be lost), but will not preserve the dimensions of + the printout. For example, a line intended to be 10 cm long + may print smaller than that. + + * Crop: the output is cropped if necessary to fit the imageable + area of the page. The dimensions of the page will be preserved + (a line intended to be 10 cm long will print out exactly 10 + cm), but the edges of the output may be truncated (cropped). + + * Expand: the output is expanded from the normal imageable area + to fit the maximum possible imageable area of the page. When + selected on printers capable of full bleed output, in + conjunction with any other necessary options, the output will + be expanded to match the maximum page dimension. The + dimensions of the page will be expanded if necessary beyond the + page size; a line intended to be 10 cm long may print longer + than that. + + This option has no effect on printers not capable of full bleed + or other expanded margins. It also has no effect when printing + to CD's or when printing to papers where the paper margin is + wider than the margin offered by the printer. + + This behavior is different from Gutenprint 5.0.0; the behavior in + Gutenprint 5.0.0 was equivalent to the Crop option in Gutenprint + 5.0.1. The change has been made due to extensive user feedback + that cropping the output leads to unexpected results in normal + printing operation. Users who need exact dimensional accuracy + should use the Crop option with borderless printing enabled. + + 4) Epson inkjet printers now correctly support borderless printing. + In addition, printing at the top and bottom of the page has been + improved on printers that support borderless printing, although + this is still not perfect in all cases. + + Certain printers (in particular the C/D8x and C6x series) do not + print correctly to the bottom of the page with all colors. This + problem is understood, but we do not know when a fix will be + available. + + 5) The list of resolutions supported on newer Epson printers has + been changed; resolutions of 2880x1440, 5760x1440, 2880x2880, and + 5760x2880 (as appropriate) have been added, replacing various + 1440x1440 and 1440x2880 enhanced resolutions. + + 6) The output for the Canon PIXMA printers has been improved. + + 7) The Canon driver now supports DuplexNoTumble for the PIXMA + iP4000. + + 8) Roll printing now works correctly on the Epson Stylus Photo + R800. + + 9) Printing with Canon PIXMA printers connected to windows hosts + (bug 1625202) has been fixed. + + 10) CD printing has been fixed for the Canon PIXMA iP4000 and iP4200. + + 11) The Canon driver now also supports the CD fine adjustment controls. + + 12) The Resolutions for the Canon S300 have been fixed. + + 13) Some Canon MULTIPASS printers have been renamed to PIXMA. + 14) A minor border problem with the R800 and related printers has + been fixed. The standard bottom border is now slightly wider to + eliminate the very bottom of the print from being chopped off. ----------------- - -B) MAJOR CHANGES BETWEEN GUTENPRINT 5.0.0 RELEASE CANDIDATE 2 AND - GUTENPRINT 5.0.0 RELEASE CANDIDATE 3: - - 1) The package now offers explicit support for many more printers. - All printers supported by Gutenprint are now listed explicitly - rather than via the compatibility list. As a result, CUPS PPD - files and Foomatic are now generated for each supported printer. - - 2) CUPS and Foomatic/IJS now produce correctly dimensioned and - positioned output. Previous pre-releases of Gutenprint 5.0 - produced incorrectly dimensioned and/or positioned (offset from - the correct position) output in certain cases. This happened in - the following circumstances: - - a) When a printer capable of optional full-bleed or borderless - operation was used in full-bleed/borderless mode, the output - was stretched to fit the expanded dimensions. The result was - that lines of specified lengths were printed slightly longer - than desired, and since the vertical and horizontal stretching - was normally not identical, the output was distorted slightly. - - b) When printing directly to a CD, the output was shrunk - horizontally and/or positioned incorrectly by a small amount - (typically a few mm). - - c) Depending upon the application doing the printing and the - printer selected, the output was shifted down and to the right - by several mm. - - The PPD files and driver have been modified to specify zero - borders in all cases when a printer with borderless capability is - used. If normal (non-borderless) mode is selected, the border is - simply not printed, leaving correct dimensions for everything - within the imageable area. However, as a result of this, the - driver no longer prints true full bleed (overprinting the edge of - the page). The margins are set to zero, and typically there will - be very narrow unprinted margins (less than 1 mm) on one or more - sides. - - Printing to CD's works correctly whether or not full bleed mode - is selected. - - This change has no effect in the enhanced GIMP plugin and in - other applications which directly use Gutenprint, as there was - never any problem in those contexts. - - 3) The IJS driver now correctly ejects the last page of a job. - Previously it did not always eject the last page with certain - Epson printers. - - 4) The Epson Stylus Photo R800, R1800, R2400, and related printers - should now print at full speed in all cases. Previously these - printers were extremely slow (about 10 times slower than normal) - in many cases. - - Related to this, the list of resolutions offered for these - printers are slightly different from before. Resolutions above - 2880x1440 DPI are no longer offered; instead, resolutions of - 2880x1440 high quality and 2880x1440 highest quality are offered. - These resolutions use extra passes of the print head to reduce - banding. In addition, these resolutions are actually 1440 DPI - horizontally and 2880 DPI vertically. - - 5) The HP DeskJet 690 and other supported PCL printers capable of - 6-color photo printing (such as the Apollo P-2100 and Apple Color - StyleWriter 4500) no longer result in the driver crashing if - black and white output mode was selected. Also, Canon printers - capable of 6 or 7 color photo printing no longer result in a - crash if black and white output mode is selected. - - 6) Canon and Lexmark inkjet printers now print if color output mode - is selected with a black and white cartridge installed. - Previously this was not possible in the GIMP plugin; the CUPS and - Foomatic drivers permitted this to be set, but gave a runtime - error when a job with these settings was printed. These printers - now accept the job and simply print it in black and white. - - 7) The cleaning and nozzle check functions of escputil now work - properly on most printers, and escputil no longer crashes if you - type ctrl-D to a command prompt. In addition, the status printed - via the status command is now much more readable. - - 8) The color quality for the Epson R300, R800, R2400, and related - printers has been improved. - - 9) Raw output now works correctly on the Epson R800 and R1800. - - 10) The Canon driver now handles color and grayscale, and also photo - ink cartridges (previously it sometimes handled these incorrectly - or even crashed). However, many of these printers still do not - print correctly with a photo cartridge installed (the width of - the printout is incorrect). - - 11) The GIMP plugin now displays the thumbnail image correctly in CMY - mode (previously it displayed incorrect colors). - - 12) Experimental support for the Japan-market Epson printers PM-A900, - PM-D800, PM-G730, and PX-V630, and preliminary support for the - PM-A650, PM-A750, and PM-A890. - - 13) The definition of the Epson Stylus CX3500, CX3600, CX3650, - CX4100, CX4200, CX4500, CX4600, CX4700, CX4800, CX5700, CX5800, - CX7700, CX7800, DX4200, DX4250, DX4800, and PX-A650 have been - corrected. The DX4800 now works correctly; the color output for - all of these printers has been corrected. All of these printers - also now print at full speed; they previously printed extremely - slowly in many cases. - - The list of resolutions is also slightly different from before; - the 2880x1440 DPI resolution is no longer offered; instead, - resolutions of 1440x1440 high quality and 1440x1440 highest - quality are offered. These resolutions use extra passes of the - print head to reduce banding. - - 14) A new option for generating simplified PPD files for CUPS has - been added. The --enable-simplified-cups-ppds=yes option to - configure allows generating PPD files with only basic options - (including only common paper sizes) in addition to the normal, - full-featured PPD files; --enable-simplified-cups-ppds=only - generates only the simplified PPD files. The -a and -s options - to cups-genppd.5.0 may be used manually to do the same thing. - This is discussed in the README file. - - 15) cups-genppdupdate.5.0 has significant enhancements: - - * A new option, -N, causes cups-genppdupdate.5.0 to not merge - options from the old PPD file into the new file. This can be - used to reset a CUPS+Gutenprint PPD file to its original state. - - * A new option, -o, causes cups-genppdupdate.5.0 to output the - PPD files into a different directory. - - * It is now possible to specify individual PPD files or printer - queue names on the command line to only update/reset specific - PPD files. - - * The program no longer tries and fails to update Foomatic-based - PPD files. - - 16) The Foomatic data generator now generates simplified data (using - a driver name of "gutenprint-ijs-simplified.5.0") in addition to - the standard, full-featured data (gutenprint-ijs.5.0). - - 17) The input slots (media sources) have been corrected for the - Epson Stylus Photo R1800, R2400, and RX700. - - 18) New options to escputil allow specifying the number of line pairs - and number of patterns for head alignment explicitly, if needed. - In addition, the number of line pairs for the Epson Stylus Photo - 700 has been changed from 7 to 15. - - 19) A few build problems have been fixed. - - 20) A Hungarian translation has been added. - - 21) The configure script now prints out a summary of configuration - options selected at the end of the script run. For developers, - "autogen.sh --help" now prints out the configure help if the - configure script exists. - - 22) The Lexmark driver should now print correctly (this is only - partially tested). - - 23) Chilean Office, Chilean Double Letter, and Chilean Double Office - paper sizes have been added. - - 24) An error in the Czech, Danish, and Portuguese translations that - caused the GIMP plugin to emit a warning at startup has been - fixed. - - 25) The package is now built with libtool 1.5.22. - -The following bugs have been fixed in Gutenprint 5.0.0-rc3: - -1318890 Borderless print scaled wrongly -1379402 BJC-4400: SEGFAULT (photo-ink/color mode) -1393755 [Feature Request] Chilean paper sizes. -1417600 escputil clean and nozzle check don't work on new printers -1417603 escputil seg faults if you type ctrl-D to prompt -1421674 Gutenprint 5.0.0rc2 crashes in Mac OS X 10.2.8 -1422101 Raw output does not work on R800 and related printers -1425951 Bug#351731: Fails in alignment with stylos photo 700 -1447115 Epson driver broken in RC2 (DX4850) -1458059 Lexmark Z52 not working -1458911 Very poor performance with Epson R2400, R800, and R1800 -1466678 Epson Stylus Photo R300 fails to eject last page -1467956 Print to CD prints incorrectly with CUPS driver -1478819 bad translation format -1487715 HP DeskJet 690 and related crash in grayscale w/photo ink -1487717 Canon/Lexmark printers fail in color mode w/BW inks -1487720 Canon printers crash in grayscale with photo ink - ----------------- - -C) MAJOR CHANGES BETWEEN GUTENPRINT 5.0.0 RELEASE CANDIDATE 1 AND - GUTENPRINT 5.0.0 RELEASE CANDIDATE 2: - - 1) The Postscript driver now produces more accurate colors. - Previous releases produced overly pale colors with the default - settings. - - 2) The Postscript driver now accepts red, green, and blue rather - than cyan, magenta, and yellow options in the GIMP plugin. - - 3) The Postscript driver now prints correctly regardless of image - size. Previously it corrupted the output if the width of the - image was not a multiple of 4 pixels. - - 4) The driver package now permits specifying all options regardless - of the setting of the Image Type and Quality options (previously - it disabled a lot of settings if Quality and/or Image Type were - not set to Manual Control). The behavior is now that Quality and - Image Type provide defaults that may be overridden by the user. - For example, if the resolution is provided explicitly, it will - override the resolution implied by the Quality setting. - - Related to this, the CUPS driver now handles Quality properly. - - 5) A description of all options supported by Gutenprint has been - added. - - 6) cups-genppdupdate now preserves the ownership and permissions of - the PPD files being updated, rather than forcibly setting the - owner to root and the permissions to root read/write and everyone - else read-only access. - - 7) The GIMP plugin now loads the printrc file correctly in all - locales. Previously it did not load floating point numbers - correctly in locales that don't use the `.' character as the - decimal point. - - 8) The GIMP plugin now offers improved choices in the color - adjustment window for viewing individual channels of the output. - It now offers red/green/blue, cyan/magenta/yellow, or - cyan/magenta/yellow/black as appropriate. - - 9) The GIMP plugin is now considerably more responsive; many - unnecessary screen redraws have been removed. In addition, a - display glitch wherein horizontal lines were sometimes drawn - through certain widgets has been fixed. + 15) A build problem with the CUPS driver on some systems (in + particular, OS X and any system where --disable-nls is used) has + been fixed. - 10) The Epson printer utility escputil now reports ink information - more consistently across a wider range of printers. In - particular, the extended ink information command (escputil -e) - should now work correctly on all models from the Stylus Color 740 - through the present. + 16) The Postscript driver now handles CMYK input correctly, fixing a + problem with Cinepaint (bug 1701954). - 11) Preliminary support for the Epson Stylus C68, C87, C88, CX3700, - CX3800, CX3805, CX3810, CX4100, CX4200, CX4500, CX4700, CX4800, - CX5700, CX5800, CX7700, CX7800, D68, D88, DX3800, DX3850, DX4200, - DX4250, DX4800, PX-A650, and Stylus Photo R220, R320, and R340. - These printers are expected to be fully functional (for the - multi-function devices, this package supports only the printer - function -- it does not support scanning or fax). + 17) The Postscript driver and UI library now handle setting the + locale correctly. - 12) Preliminary support for the Epson Stylus Photo R2400/PX-5500. - This printer has been partially tuned, but there will likely be - further changes to this driver. - - 13) Support for the Epson PictureMate/E-100. - - 14) Preliminary support for the Epson Stylus Photo RX700/PM-A900. - This printer has been partially tuned, but there will likely be - further changes to this driver. - - 15) Initial support for Canon S200, SELPHY CP-510 and SELPHY CP-710; - Sony UP-DR150, and Olympus P-11 has been added. - - 16) The Canon PIXMA iP4000 printers can now print to cds.
