THREEDEE912  I have to say, printing has gotten MUCH faster on my Epson R200 with the last few Gutenprint updates. It used to take FOREVER to print a single page on "Standard" quality. Now it only takes a few seconds!

Plus it has drivers for my old HP LaserJet too!

Only thing that annoys me is the "Common Settings 1, Common Settings 2, Extra Settings 3" or whatever, as it's difficult to find a specific setting hidden in all of the generic-named menus.

SUNDAYS  Good update for Epson.

But since apple use GP and Cups to print, my old HP does not work correctly.

I use instead a generic postscript driver.

MANNYAM  I have an Epson RX-580 and I lost the driver CD, so for me to print directly onto a CD, I had to search forever for the drivers, with this I am able to print from the print dialog without the need for extra software and it has many extra features that arent available in the stand Epson drivers. Works great!

SMACTRON  This release doesn't seem to have the Brother HL-2040 even though it has CUPS 1.1. What gives?  
(Version 5.1.4)

RONL  This made it possible for me to continue using an older Epson printer (which still prints excellently and which I had recently bought cartridges). Thank you! Also their forums are extremely helpful. And to think these are free!

AYMAN  Tried everything to make my Epson CX4700 with out any luck.

After installing GutenPrint; Worked like a charm.

WOW

CHRIS.JEROME2110  These Printer, and Also Scanner Vendors too, are notorious for releasing broken, or crappy drivers for their printers on the Mac Platform even while the System 7/OS 9 era,

Now, it's either:

• Non-intel or universal binary drivers

• Printers and/or Scanners with no ColorSync/ICC Profile support.

• Scanners with no TWAIN/Apple Image Capture support.

These comanies really need to get with the Times.

Hurray for good old open source!! Open source to the rescue again!

The biggest offenders are Canon, and EPSON!!!, Don't know about HP nowadays.

I'm so Glad I bought a Brother Color Laser Printer a few month's back, and since I've never looked back. The Color is exellent, and so is the Print Quality too. No drivers, or any other incompatible nonsense to worry about, just a good old text based PPD File, Compatible ANYWHERE!!!.

TIMBO13  haha, typical.

Great to see a intel compatible version of this. Just a little too late for me though. We have a hp laserjet 1010 and have been unable to print to it from our MBP's. We are receiving a new HP laser which is compatible with Mac OS X today. The same day the intel compatible version of these drivers are released which work with our old, no obsolete hp laser... Isn't life ironic. sigh.

GARYI  seriously though with the cheap prices of printers today and the exceptional quality, why waste your time trying to get really old kit to work?

OLIPOWER  I tried this for my Epson 1290 stylus photo, for which Epson only offers a broken 2 year old driver.

However, Gutenprint was SO SLOW. Printing 5 lines of text in a white shadowed box took it literally 15 minutes. The sound from the printer indicated that the printer had smoked a joint too many. Zzzz Zzzz Zzzz

(I know printers don't smoke weed, but it was as slow as the slowest max cannabis smoking dopehead)...

And then the printer dialog settings for Gutenprint:

Something more un-useability one has to look for for a looong time. Instead of meaningful labels for the sub dropdown menu items, it simple said:

Special features 1

Special features 2

Special features 3

Special features 4

etc etc

So setting up the color etc was a real no go.
