Gutenprint 5.2.10-pre2 is a prerelease of Gutenprint 5.2.10.  Please
report any problems to gimp-print-devel@lists.sourceforge.net.

Gutenprint is a suite of printer drivers that may be used with most
common UNIX print spooling systems, including CUPS, lpr, LPRng, or
others.  Gutenprint currently supports over 2000 printer models.
These drivers provide high quality printing for UNIX, Linux, and
Macintosh OS X (10.5 and above) systems.  Gutenprint includes CUPS and
Foomatic drivers, and an enhanced Print plug-in for GIMP that replaces
the print plug-in packaged with the GIMP distribution.

This release fixes some issues in 5.2.10-pre1.  Please see the
ChangeLog for the full deltas from 5.2.10-pre1.  It may be downloaded
from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print/files/gutenprint-5.2/5.2.10-pre2/

This is expected to be the final prerelease before 5.2.10.

* Changes from 5.2.9

  1) Added a unified CUPS backend to support selected dye sublimation
     printers.

     A new CUPS backend was added to support USB printers that require a
     special communications protocol. The backend is called 
     'gutenprint52usb' and requires libusb 1.0 (or newer) in order to build.

     The following dye-sublimation printers require this backend in order
     to function properly:

        Canon SELPHY ES series  (All models)
	Canon SELPHY CP series  (All models except CP520, CP820, and CP910)
	Kodak Professional 1400
	Kodak 805 Photo Printer
   	Kodak 6800 Photo Printer
   	Kodak 6850 Photo Printer
	Kodak 605 Photo Printer
   	Shinko/Sinfonia CHC-S2145 
   	Sony UP-DR150
        Sony UP-DR200
	DNP DS40
	DNP DS80
	DNP DS-RX1
	Citizen CX
	Citizen CX-W
	Citizen CY
        Mitsubishi CP-D70DW  (EXPERIMENTAL)
        Mitsubishi DP-D707DW (EXPERIMENTAL)

     For further information about configuration and use of this CUPS 
     backend, please see the README document, section II D.

  2) New printers supported in this release:

     Please read the release notes for the full list of new printers.

  3) The following Canon printer models were not added, as they cannot
     currently be supported, even experimentally, owing to an as-yet
     unknown command format or other issues:

       Canon PIXMA mini260 *1
       Canon PIXMA i255
       Canon PIXMA i355
       Canon PIXMA iP1180
       Canon PIXMA iP1188
       Canon PIXMA iP1880
       Canon PIXMA iP1980
       Canon PIXMA iP2580
       Canon PIXMA iP2680
       Canon PIXMA PRO-10  *1
       Canon PIXMA PRO-100 *1

       *1: protocol is supported but inks used are not yet supported

  4) Corrected page dimensions for borderless printing with Canon
     printers.

  5) Added duplex support for the EPSON WorkForce 645.

  6) Expanded printable area at the bottom of the page for the Epson
     Stylus Pro 3800 and 3880.

  7) Added IEEE1284 device IDs for the following printers.

     Please see the release notes for the full list of new device
     IDs.
