Gutenprint 5.2.4 RC1 / 5.2.3

Gutenprint, formerly named 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, 10.3, and 10.4) and Linux systems that in many cases equal or exceed proprietary vendor-supplied drivers in quality and functionality, and can be used for demanding printing tasks requiring flexibility and high quality.

Major Features:

1. This software package includes the Print plug-in for the GIMP and Ghostscript and CUPS drivers, as well as Foomatic data.
2. Gutenprint provides a very high quality package of printer drivers for Ghostscript and CUPS.
3. To install the drivers please read the "Setting up printers" PDF which is included with the download.
