Description-en: maintenance utility for Epson Stylus printers
escputil is a utility to clean and align the heads of Epson Stylus
printers. It can also check the current ink levels in the printer.
.
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.
