Gimp-Print 4.3.18, released July 6, 2003, is a development release of
this package.  Like all development releases, this version is
considered unstable and should only be used by those individuals
tolerant of the likelihood of problems.  Individuals desiring a stable
release of Gimp-Print should use the latest 4.2 release.

Gimp-Print is a suite of printer drivers that may be used with most
common UNIX print spooling systems, including CUPS, lpr, LPRng, or
others.  These drivers provide high quality printing for UNIX
(including Macintosh OS X 10.2 and newer) and Linux systems in many
cases equal to or better than proprietary vendor-supplied drivers, and
can be used for many of the most demanding printing tasks.

This software includes the Print plug-in for the Gimp, and Ghostscript
and CUPS drivers, including Foomatic data.

The Print plugin for the Gimp requires the Gimp 1.2 (later versions of
the Gimp are not supported).  You may need to install a package named
"gimp-devel" or the like on many distributions.

The CUPS driver requires CUPS 1.1.15 or higher.  You may need to
install a package named "cups-devel" or the like on many
distributions.

The Foomatic data will work with either Foomatic 2.x or 3.x.  Foomatic
3.x has additional capabilities that this package detects and takes
advantage of.

The IJS-based GhostScript plugin driver requires GNU Ghostscript 6.53
or later, ESP Ghostscript 7.05 or later, or APFL GhostScript 7.04 or
later.

Users of Macintosh OS X 10.2 and above can use this package, as the
printing system is based on CUPS, which is supported by Gimp-print.
Note that Macintosh OS X 10.0 and 10.1 (including 10.1.5) cannot use
this package.

Please read the README file for full instructions on installing this
package.


Gimp-Print 4.3.18 contains the following major changes over Gimp-Print
4.3.17:

1) A serious bug in the CUPS PPD files that was introduced in 4.3.17
   is fixed.  It is essential that all CUPS users take this release.

2) Various long-standing portability and compilation problems have
   been fixed.

3) The main header file (gimp-print.h) has been split into smaller
   pieces.

4) The British English (en_GB) translation has been updated.

5) The Epson Stylus CX-3100 and CX-5100 are now supported.
