Not here, see Bug 144623. Yes, I know. But I need at least 5.0.1, because it supports IP-3000 directly, and double-sided printing. It works fine, except for the bug. Till now, I've had to use BJC7000 driver for my printer, which is not as far as good as the new driver. It also happens with other distros, and other printers. Could it be sent to mainstream?? Thanks!! I cannot print more than 80 pages at a time!!! You have to file a bugreport upstream yourself, since we can't give much info if we don't own a problematic printer which causes problems. You already reported it on the gimp-print bugtracker as far as I can see, Request ID: 1823768. How about further cooperation with them? It would be nice, but I would have to learn about debugging, since I don't have so much knowledge. I'm going to track it with them, I didn't remember that I sent that bug request to mainstream. Maybe it'll be fixed also for Gentoo if they release something more. Thanks!

The 5.0.x series are stable releases, while the 5.1.x series is an experimental/developer branch. See 5.x.x release notes for Gutenprint. I think Néstor Amigo Cairo, like myself, has little use for 4.2.7 since it was released without support for our model of printers. So while it may be considered stable, it is of little utility for those looking to get printer support on a model produced in the last three years! > > > and change the name to gutenprint, also the USE flag?? > > Not here, see Bug 144623. > does 5.1.4 fix this issue? Get back to us please... (In reply to comment #8) > Get back to us please... > Ok, sorry for te delay in replying. I understand a little more the reasoning behind waiting to rename to gutenprint. And I apologize for bring this back up when their is a proper bug report to handle switch. I'm currently installing and testing 5.1.4 of gutenprint. I actually had no problem renaming the ebuild to 5.0.1 in my local overlay and forcing portage to download the stable from upstream. Unfortunately I wasn't very impressed with the print quality for my particular model so I have been looking into Turboprint. Version 5.1.4 is still lacking support for me. Have to check with original bug reporter Latest version fixes this bug (latest upstream, means 5.1.6). Thanks!! |
