| PackageDescription | inkjet server - Ghostscript driver for Gutenprint
This package contains the ijsgutenprint binary which provides
Ghostscript with a Gutenprint driver, including all printers
supported by Gutenprint. ijsgutenprint is an IJS server (driver),
which communicates with Ghostscript (an IJS client) using the IJS
(InkJet Server) communications protocol. IJS is a method for
separating ghostscript drivers from ghostscript, to allow
ghostscript to be more extensible.
.
If you wish to print using Ghostscript and the Gutenprint drivers,
install this package. This is typical for LPRng setups. If you
are using CUPS, cups-driver-gutenprint is a better choice, but
this package will still work with the appropriate foomatic setup
if you wish to make use of foomatic.

Gutenprint is the print facility for the GIMP, and in addition a
suite of drivers that may be used with common UNIX spooling systems
using GhostScript or CUPS. These drivers provide printing quality
for UNIX/Linux on a par with proprietary vendor-supplied drivers in
many cases, and can be used for many of the most demanding printing
tasks. Gutenprint was formerly known as Gimp-Print. |
