I'll will be happy to test > 5.0.0-beta2 release: will I find it on unstable? No, I can't upload it without some testing first. You can now find it here: http://people.debian.org/~rleigh/gutenprint-5.2/ To compile it for your architecture, you will need to get http://people.debian.org/~rleigh/gutenprint-5.2/gutenprint_5.1.98.2.orig.tar.gz http://people.debian.org/~rleigh/gutenprint-5.2/gutenprint_5.1.98.2-1.diff.gz http://people.debian.org/~rleigh/gutenprint-5.2/gutenprint_5.1.98.2-1.dsc If you're not familiar with building source packages, you will need to apt-get build-dep gutenprint dpkg-source -x gutenprint_5.1.98.2-1.dsc cd gutenprint-5.1.98.2 dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc cd .. ls *.deb This will then build and create a set of .deb files which you can install with "dpkg -i <file>" Once you have done that, I would be very interested to know if it works with your printer or not, as well as if you find any other problems with it. One word of caution: these packages have had *no testing*, not even to make sure they install. While there is little risk of them doing any harm to your system, and they should work without problems, I can make no guarantees that they work. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
