This is gimp-print version 4.1.6, a development release on the 4.1 line. This software includes the Print plug-in for the Gimp, and GhostScript and CUPS drivers. The support for printers in GhostScript and CUPS is identical to the support for these printers in the Print plugin -- they use the identical code base. Please read src/ghost/README and src/cups/README for more information on this. The Gimp Print plugin requires the Gimp 1.2. Gimp-Print 4.1.6 contains the following changes over 4.1.6: 1) As of this release, the Gimp 1.0 is no longer supported. You must use at least 1.1.21; 1.2 is strongly recommended. In particular, we will not fix bugs in the Gimp plugin unless they can be reproduced with the Gimp 1.2. 2) Foomatic is now supported in the 4.1 line. Please read the README for more information. This requires a relatively recent version of Foomatic and is not compatible with the version bundled with Gimp-Print 4.0. 3) Significant improvements to the Canon driver for many printers, most notably the BJC-8200. There may be some temporary new problems with 4-color printing on some Canon printers; feedback on this would be greatly appreciated. 4) Significant improvements to the Lexmark driver. 5) Further improvements to the Stylus Color 980. 6) Support for printing 720x360 DPI on many Epson Stylus printers. This mode offers a speed/quality tradeoff intermediate between 360 and 720 DPI. It does not work very well on photo-quality paper. 7) Improvements in the Fast dithering option on plain paper. 8) Some improvements to the Epson Stylus Photo 870/1270 and newer 6-color printers. 9) Internal architectural changes: the library now operates internally in CMY rather than RGB space, and offers a raw CMYK input mode. The former is not visible outside of the library; the latter has no current uses and is untested. Neither change should have any user-visible effects; this is strictly for programmer use. -- 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 Gimp Print/stp -- http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton
