Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : gutenprint-printer-app Version : Didn't see a tagged release Upstream Contact: https://openprinting.github.io/ * URL : https://github.com/OpenPrinting/gutenprint-printer-app License : Apache-2.0 Programming Lang: C Description : Gutenprint Printer Application Printer Application for printing with the Gutenprint printer driver. This allows high-quality printing on a wide range of inkjet, lasre, and dye-sublimation printers, especially inkjets from Epson and Canon, PCL laser printers (both monochrome and color), and dye-sublimation photo printers. This driver is especially recommended for photos and fine-art printing. It is also an alternative to the Ghostscript Printer Application for PCL 4/5c/e laser printers. Please also include as much relevant information as possible. Rationale: I have an old printer connected via USB to an RPi3 which serves as print server for my local network. The printer can either be used with printer-driver-escpr or printer-driver-gutenprint. I see in my logs the following message: > Printer drivers are deprecated and will stop working in a future > version of CUPS. See https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups/issues/103 Reading that issue it seems that this program will be needed to continue to operate my printer in the future. I CCed debian-printing@lists.debian.org but am not subscribed to that list, so if you address me there, I kindly ask you to CC me. Best regards, Martin
