Package: ijsgutenprint
Severity: normal
The package description says:
This package contains the ijsgutenprint binary which provides
Ghostscript with a Gutenprint driver, including all printers
supported by Gutenprint.
I just found this package and have asked myself what it does.
I do have Gutenprint installed and running, I have Ghostscript
in use, so what is the package about? I have briefly searched
the internet but came up with no answer except that this
package provides a Gutenprint driver for Ghostscript. I have
always thought that it is the other way round: Gutenprint
utilizes Ghostscript for rasterfile generation.
I am guessing that this driver lets Ghostscript produce
rasterfiles which will be device independent, but first I want
confirmation on that, and second if that is really the case
what is the advantage of of defining a new rasterfile format
instead of using Ghostscript's PNG rasterizer or a similar
"standard" format.
Even if I am completely mistaken, the package description does
not help me with the decision whether the package is useful to
me and should therefore be installed.
