Gutenprint 5.2.14 is a stable release of Gutenprint 5.2. Please
report any problems to gimp-print-devel@lists.sourceforge.net. It may
be downloaded from our web site, http://gutenprint.sourceforge.net.
The direct download is

Gutenprint 5.2.14 adds full color support for PCL5c laser printers,
among other improvements.
Gutenprint is a suite of printer drivers for UNIX, Linux, and
Macintosh OS X systems (10.6 and above) that use CUPS as their
printing system. Gutenprint currently supports over 2600 printers.
It also includes an enhanced Print plug-in for GIMP that replaces the
print plug-in packaged with the GIMP distribution.
Gutenprint 5.2.14 is currently available in source form. A binary
release for Macintosh OS X 10.6 and above will be available shortly.
* Changes from 5.2.13
1) The PCL driver now supports color laser printers that use PCL 5c
natively (as opposed to emulation). The support is considered to
be preliminary at this time.
Color quality is significantly improved since 5.2.14-pre2.
* The following printers now support color printing:
Epson ActionLaser AL-C8600
Epson ActionLaser AL-C8600 PS3
HP Color LaserJet 2500
HP Color LaserJet 5
HP Color LaserJet 5000
HP Color LaserJet 8550GN
Kyocera FS-5800C
Kyocera FS-5900C
Kyocera FS-8000C
Xerox DocuPrint C20
Xerox WorkCentre 7345
* Many color laser printers, too numerous to list, have been
added on specification; please report success or failure with
any other color laser printer using the Generic PCL Color
drivers. Printers that we know about that may be supported are
listed as UNTESTED Automatically Generated. Please see the
supported printer list
(http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/p_Supported_Printers.php)
for the full list of supported printers.
2) Support for the Brother HL-2030 and HL-2035 has been removed. We
have determined that these printers do not use standard PCL; they
use a proprietary printing method that we cannot support.
3) A crash that affected certain dyesub printers when used with
simplified PPD files has been fixed. The printers involved are:
Citizen CX-W
Dai Nippon Printing DS620
Dai Nippon Printing DS80
Dai Nippon Printing DS80DX
Dai Nippon Printing DS820
Mitsubishi CP-3800DW
Mitsubishi CP-D70DW
Mitsubishi CP-D707DW
Shinko/Sinfonia CHC-S1245
Shinko/Sinfonia CHC-S2145
Shinko/Sinfonia CHC-S6145
Shinko/Sinfonia CHC-S6245
4) Enhanced support and bugfixes for the following dye-sublimation printers:
Fujifilm ASK-300
Sony UP-DR150
Sony UP-DR200
Canon SELPHY CP820
Canon SELPHY CP910
Canon SELPHY CP1000
Canon SELPHY CP1200
Mitsubishi CP-D70DW
Mitsubishi CP-D707DW (EXPERIMENTAL)
Mitsubishi CP-D80DW
Shinko/Sinfonia CHC-S1245
DNP DS-RX1HS
Citizen CY-02
5) Initial support for EPSON Stylus Pro 7900 (Partial -- no
orange/green inks)
6) The SureColor P800, previously marked Experimental, has been
retuned and is now no longer considered experimental.
7) The following BW laser printer has been added:
HP LaserJet 5N
