These drivers should work on any POSIX compliant operating +system (e.g. Linux, Solaris, IRIX, etc). This document will explain how to +use the Gimp-Print 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 Gimp-Print 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 Gimp-Print software is used with the GIMP, +CUPS, Ghostscript, or Foomatic, the print quality and printer settings +remain the same. However, use of the Gimp-Print 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 Gimp-Print +software. This document will serve as a guide to the user, and as such +will not explain how to install Gimp-Print, CUPS, GIMP, Ghostscript, +Foomatic, or any other related software. + </para> + + <para> + Andy Stewart, the author, is the founder of the +<ulink url="http://www.wlug.org">Worcester Linux Users' Group</ulink> in +Worcester, Massachusetts, USA.
