>    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
<A
HREF="http://www.gimp.org"
TARGET="_top"
>GIMP</A
> (GNU Image
Manipulation Program) and
<A
HREF="http://www.cups.org"
TARGET="_top"
>CUPS</A
> (Common Unix Printing
System).
  </P
><P
>    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 
<A
HREF="http://www.ghostscript.com"
TARGET="_top"
>Ghostscript</A
> software
and with the 
<A
HREF="http://www.linuxprinting.org/foomatic.html"
TARGET="_top"
>Foomatic</A
> 
software.
   </P
><P
>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.
  </P
><P
>  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.
