Re: Gutenprint entry on linuxprinting.org now

From: Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@xxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 05 Feb 2006 15:24:17 +0100 I have put a driver entry for Gutenprint into the Foomatic database now, so that the new driver/driver name appears on linuxprinting.org. The XML file used is the one which 5.0.0rc2 generates, I have only modified the text and removed the command line prototype (so that linuxprinting.org does not generate PPDs for this driver). What is missing are printer XML entries, every printer not being a link on the driver page has no printer XML file in the database. To make such files I do not have enough information, for example max resolution, max paper size, what kind of cartridges, device ID strings, equivalence relation between US/Europe and japanese model name... Best would be if someone of you here on the list can create the printer XML files and send me a tarball with them. I could also give write access to the linuxprinting.org CVS. Send me a list of what printers are missing; I'll give you whatever information I can. -- Robert Krawitz <rlk@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Tall Clubs International -- http://www.tall.org/ or 1-888-IM-TALL-2 Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- mail lpf@xxxxxxxxxxxx Project lead for Gutenprint -- http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Maximum resolution is 2880x2880 (Epson claims 5760x1440; Gutenprint uses 2880x2880). Minimum drop size is 3.5 pl.
