+ The Gutenprint Top Quality Printer Drivers (hereafter
+called Gutenprint) are a set of printer drivers written to
+take advantage of the full capabilities of a wide range of
+printers. These drivers should work on any POSIX compliant operating
+system (e.g. Linux, Solaris, IRIX, etc). This document will explain how to
+use the Gutenprint software to achieve high quality printouts from the
+<ulink url="http://www.gimp.org">GIMP</ulink> (GNU Image
+Manipulation Program) and
+<ulink url="http://www.cups.org">CUPS</ulink> (Common Unix Printing
+System).
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Please note that in addition to using the Gutenprint software as a
+print plugin for the GIMP, and as a set of printer drivers for CUPS, this
+software can also be compiled and used with the
+<ulink url="http://www.ghostscript.com">Ghostscript</ulink> software
+and with the
+<ulink
+url="http://www.linuxprinting.org/foomatic.html">Foomatic</ulink>
+software.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+Regardless of whether the Gutenprint software is used with the GIMP,
+CUPS, Ghostscript, or Foomatic, the print quality and printer settings
+remain the same. However, use of the Gutenprint with Ghostscript and
+Foomatic is not covered in this document. These topics may be covered
+in a future revision of this document.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ This document corresponds to version 4.2.0 and later of the Gutenprint
+software. This document will serve as a guide to the user, and as such
+will not explain how to install Gutenprint, CUPS, GIMP, Ghostscript,
+Foomatic, or any other related software.
