Gutenprint

This release fixes printing problems with a number of Epson MFP devices, with the new Artisan inkjet printers, and with the Stylus Photo R1900. An Italian translation has been added.

This is the first stable release in the 5.2 series. It offers many enhancements over 5.0, including support for many more printers, greatly improved quality and performance on many Epson inkjet printers and some others, a rewritten Postscript driver, substantial enhancements to the CUPS driver, and much more.

This version features release prep for 5.2 (such as an updated user's manual and release notes). There are a few bugfixes, most notably that printing has been corrected on many Epson multi-function devices.

This release offers support for globalized PPD
files (all translations in one file, reducing the
number of PPD files), support for additional
printers, and numerous bugfixes. This is the final
planned beta prior to the 5.2 stable release.

This release offers support for almost 70 new printers, full support for CUPS 1.2 (including extended attributes and on the fly PPD file generation), corrected support for borderless printing to Epson printers, the ability to choose resizing rather than cropping when printing from CUPS, and more. The Mac OS X binary is much faster in some cases on PPC Macs than the initial 5.0 binary. All users of Gutenprint 5.0.0 should upgrade.
