This is gimp-print version 4.0b3. This is the third beta of the 4.0 stable release. It is not 4.0, but it should be very close. This release is important for CUPS users, and for people who had problems with the configure script in gimp-print 4.0b2. The changes have otherwise been minor. Gimp-Print 4.0b3 contains the following fixes over Gimp-Print 4.0b2: 1) The gimp-print configure script failed on version of the Gimp older than 1.1.20 or thereabouts, give or take a few versions. That should now work correctly. 2) The Ghostscript and CUPS drivers did not handle printer-specific default options correctly. This led to incorrect gamma and/or density on many printers, and on the Epson Stylus Photo 870/1270, a green tint. 3) Some of the defined PCL paper sizes were not included. 4) We have been unable to get the Epson Stylus Color 480 to work correctly in any mode, due to some quirks with this printer. We have therefore removed it from the release. It was not possible to change the ink cartridge on this printer in any event, due to the lack of front panel buttons and inability to get the necessary command to change the cartridge. 5) The Canon BJC-7000 had an incorrect definition. 6) The native CUPS driver did not correctly handle the printer resolution for non-Epson printers. 7) With CUPS 1.1.3 and earlier, the CUPS drivers do not pass through the media type correctly, so the driver always prints with the default media type. The solution is to upgrade to CUPS 1.1.4. 8) With CUPS 1.1.3 and earlier, Under some circumstances the margins are not set correctly. The solution is to upgrade to CUPS 1.1.4. -- Robert Krawitz <rlk@xxxxxxxxxxxx> http://www.tiac.net/users/rlk/ Tall Clubs International -- http://www.tall.org/ or 1-888-IM-TALL-2 Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- mail lpf@xxxxxxxxxxxx Project lead for The Gimp Print -- http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton
