Description-en: 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, printer-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.
