Gutenprint testers wanted...

Written by Karl vom Dorff Saturday, 30 October 2010 15:31

Working on the Gutenprint bounty, Michael Pfeiffer (laplace) has just committed his port of Gutenprint to Haiku (changeset 32916).

Added Gutenprint printer driver add-on to image.
This is still a work in progress: Printing should work with the following restrictions:
Color printing is untested.
Some configuration options provided by Gutenprint are missing.
Error reporting is missing.
The page margins should at least to increased to 1 cm or 0.4 Inch.

Michael intends on ironing out the configuration options and fixing any bugs that users experience. Please test out Gutenprint on Haiku with your supported printer and report back here, or file a bug report if you encounter problems. Anyone with a colour cartridge?

Only nine people have contributed to this bounty, with some pretty hefty donations. Please spare a couple of bucks and support the long-time Haiku developer that's taken on this bounty! Now's your chance to say thanks and contribute to something that you'll all end up using; he may be done before you know it:
