4. Gutenprint 5 0 User s Manual 07 16 2006 41 Complete overhaul of the options system Rather than offering a fixed set of operations family drivers color modules etc can now offer a wide variety of options using a predefined set of data types The data types currently supported are strings picked from a list floating point numbers integers curves arrays Boolean on off values dimensions and filenames The new options system provides a flexible way for drivers to inform applications of default values and UI hints the ability to selectively enable and disable options and a generalized way of verifying legality of option choices The coordinate system has been changed from bottom left to top left of the page and the printable area can now extend beyond the edge of the page The result is a more intuitive coordinate system for driver writers that matches the coordinate system of printers and the ability to do true full bleed The specification of color correction input and output modes has been completely revised permitting applications to specify input mode output mode channel bit depth and color correction completely independently This architecture is also more extensible Complete overhaul of the black generation in CMYK output Black generation is now performed in the color code rather than the dither code This simplifies the dither code puts the CMYK generation where it should be and improves overall flexibility

6. 12 The Epson Stylus family driver has been split into more functionally distinct units The data schema has been considerably improved and the code itself broken into more easily maintained units 13 The build system has been updated with a more contemporary toolchain based on autoconf 2 5 and gettext 0 11 14 The Print plugin for the GIMP has been split into a UI library and the core plugin The user interface library is a pure GTK based library the tiny GIMP plugin is a client of this library 15 Printer characteristics are exposed to the application level as read only parameters This permits the escputil utility to not duplicate information stored in the printer driver 6 2 Exceptions and Workarounds 6 2 1 General Issues 1 Full bleed mode does not work completely correctly on most Epson printers at present Typically there is a small margin at the bottom of the page 1 2 mm and possibly a very small margin at the top However it works correctly along the left and right margins We do not have an estimated time for a fix 2 The Canon Hewlett Packard and Lexmark drivers do not offer all of the additional options and improvements that the Epson driver does We do not have an estimated time for fix Please contact us if you would like to assist with this 3 Support for the Canon S200 has not yet been ported forward from 4 2 4 This release is slower than 4 2 in many cases particularly when using High Accuracy which is
7. In the meantime work on Gimp Print 4 3 was progressing albeit rather slowly We wanted to support the newest generation printers with tiny droplets very high resolutions and extra colors in addition to adding color management and the possibility of supporting many more printer capabilities beyond the fixed set offered in Gimp Print 4 2 In part due to all of the maintenance work on 4 2 and in part due to the natural tendency of people to move on to other projects we made only slow progress on Gimp Print 4 3 It was clear that we weren t going to release a next generation of Gimp Print in 2002 or early 2003 as we hoped However the success of Gimp Print 4 2 took some of the pressure off because 4 2 was proving to be highly maintainable We wanted the next generation of Gimp Print to be more than just another incremental advance The core of the new parameter based API and hence of Gimp Print 4 3 was in place by early 2003 By this time 4 2 was slowing down and work on our development tree was starting to pick up We decided that the architectural and user experience changes were sufficient to name the next release 5 0 and I put together a plan for going to alpha in July and releasing 5 0 in November 2003 That was not to be We were doing new releases of 4 3 for intrepid adventurers every few weeks with extensive changes continuing and it was only in December that we finally felt ready to move to 5 0 alpha which we released in January 20
8. LANGUAGE which unconditionally looks up translations according to the language ignoring LANG and the LC environment variables that are normally used for translation This library is no longer included with Gutenprint with included gettext will not work Install the GNU gettext package first if you need libintl a Many systems provide translation machinery in their standard libraries and it may not always be best to use foreign libraries to replace standard system functionality We have chosen to use LANGUAGE for this purpose as the GNU gettext library appears to offer the most reliable translation and LANGUAGE appears to offer the most reliable mechanism We have actually found that LANG and LC can interfere with LANGUAGE thus we do not use both To determine if the translations are working you must actually inspect the PPD files You will need to cd sre cups ppd sv gunzip more or the like to determine if this is successful In particular look for Language Version and make sure that it is correct it should be Swedish in the sv directory for example and also make sure that the paper sizes are also translated We currently suggest using the Swedish translation for this purpose as it is the most complete If packagers find that the PPD files are all in English rather than translated into the appropriate languages we suggest the following i Install GNU gettext libintl a If your system is not based on GNU

14. permitting much finer control over output in steps of 005 rather than 05 without making the menus unwieldly 2 The CUPS driver refuses to function with PPD files created for a different version of Gutenprint or Gimp Print providing an error message indicating the problem This avoids problems caused by mismatches between the PPD files and the driver While mismatches are potentially not harmful in all cases they could cause problems ranging from failures to print with poor diagnostic messages to incorrect results 3 The Gutenprint 5 0 CUPS driver can be installed concurrently with the 4 2 driver Both the PPD files and the driver carry different names from their 4 2 counterparts permitting a parallel installation or gradual switchover between 4 2 and 5 0 based releases 4 An update script cups genppdupdate 5 0 is provided to update PPD files between later 4 3 and 5 0 based releases preserving option values where possible This script will not update PPD files based on Gimp Print 4 2 or Gimp Print 4 3 releases prior to 4 3 21 5 On printers capable of borderless output the CUPS driver now advertises via the ImageableArea in PPD files the full page dimension and crops the output if the borderless mode is not selected If borderless mode is selected the full image up to the limits of the printer will be printed This compromise is necessitated by the fact that PPD files can only supply a single imageable area for a particul

44. Complete overhaul of the multi tone photo or quadtone ink processing architecture channels Instead of being processed as part of the dithering code as in 4 2 where ink drops of lighter inks were assigned virtual values proportional to their darkness as well as their size this is now processed after the initial color conversion This has a number of major advantages e As the actual amount of ink to be printed is visible to the color code the color code can do ink limiting without fear that the dither code will change the amount of ink to be printed e It ensures that the same proportions of inks will be printed at any density and resolution In 4 2 the ramp from light to dark ink varied depending upon the dot sizes available and hence the resolution This has already been demonstrated to yield much better linearity and much more neutral gray scale with even very modest tuning effort e It enables use of all drop sizes of all ink tones In 4 2 we could not use the smallest drop size of dark ink because the virtual dot size of a small dot of dark ink is typically close to the virtual dot size of a large dot of small ink This would yield very sharp transition and perhaps even result in more light ink printed in darker regions than in lighter regions With channel processing separate from dithering this concern no longer exists we can safely use small drops of dark ink improving smoothness e It enables the color code to do ink limiting in

D files based on the older version of Gutenprint rather than the newer version This will happen if all of the following are true 1 The cups config provided by the CUPS driver adds W1 rpath usr 1ib This is done by some versions of CUPS reportedly because in some cases the runtime linker does not pick up libraries out of usr lib This can be checked by running cups config libs ldflags and inspecting the output for any mention of rpath RPATH RUN PATH or the like This is controlled by the CUPS installation on your system 2 There is presently a version of Gutenprint installed in usr prefix usr rather than usr local or the like The default location of Gutenprint installation is in usr local but system vendors typically install Gutenprint in usr 3 Gutenprint is built dynamically only disable static or disable static genppd This is not a default and requires the explicit use of these options on the Gutenprint configure command line Therefore if you build Gutenprint normally you should not be vulnerable to this problem Note that in general if you install CUPS into a non standard location and install Gutenprint into the same location this problem can surface For example if you choose to install CUPS in 13 Gutenprint 5 0 User s Manual 07 16 2006 usr local and Gutenprint in usx local you are vulnerable to this However it is not standard practice to install CUPS anywhere but usr In
