The name Gutenprint recognizes Johannes Gutenberg, the inventor of the movable type printing press. Many users incorrectly called it Gimp, so the software was renamed Gutenprint to clearly distinguish it from the GIMP. Gutenprint has more than 1,300 drivers for Apollo, Apple, Brother, Canon, Citizen, Compaq, Dai Nippon, DEC, Epson, Fujifilm, Fujitsu, Gestetner, HP, IBM, Infotec, Kodak, Kyocera, Lanier, Lexmark, Minolta, NEC, NRG, Oki, Olivetti, Olympus, Panasonic, PCPI, Raven, Ricoh, Samsung, Savin, Seiko, Sharp, Shinko, Sony, Star, Tally, Tektronix and Xerox printers. ![]() Many of them did not update their drivers, and since Apple had chosen to use CUPS as the core of its printing system, Gimp-Print filled the void. When Apple introduced Mac OS X, it omitted printer drivers, claiming that it was the printer manufacturer's task to produce these. It was originally developed as a plug-in for the GIMP, but later became a more general tool for use by other programs and operating systems ( macOS and Windows). These drivers provide printing services for Unix-like systems (including Linux and macOS), RISC OS and Haiku. Gutenprint (formerly Gimp-Print) is a collection of free-software printer drivers for use with UNIX spooling systems, such as CUPS, lpr and LPRng. net /p /gimp-print /source /ci /master /tree /įailed to render property programming language: programming language property not found.

Yes, that’s what I did with the help of tech support, following their instructions to the letter. You’ll do that from the panel on the printer”. “Be sure you’re telling it that you are using USB and not WiFi or wired LAN. Canon helped me set it up for a usb connection. “Your printer can connect directly to your Mac via USB as you’re looking to do”: theoretically, yes. And I’ve been through the disconnect-reconnect routine several times with them. But the cable I do have has worked about 6 or 7 times, when tech support have guided me on the phone, although this hasn’t worked recently. ![]() “I’d try another cable”: I don’t have one. Yes, I’ve tried that several times with Canon tech support.It doesn’t work: System Preferences just says “no printer is available”. You say “If it were me: I’d disconnect the USB cable from both ends and then reconnect it”.
