About:
Gutenprint (formerly called Gimp-Print) is a collection of very high
quality printer drivers for UNIX/Linux. The goal of this project is
uncompromising print quality and robustness. Included with this package is
the Print plugin for the GIMP (hence the name), a CUPS driver, and two
drivers (traditional and IJS-based) for Ghostscript that may be compiled
into that package. This driver package is Foomatic-compatible and provides
Foomatic data to enable plug and play with many print spoolers. In
addition, various printer maintenance utilities are included. Many users
report that the quality of Gutenprint on high end Epson Stylus printers
matches or exceeds the quality of the drivers supplied for Windows and
Macintosh.   

Changes:
This release offers improved quality, enhanced functionality, and support
for more printers than Gimp-Print 4.2.7. Only the source package is
currently available.  

Release focus: Major feature enhancements
