New printer, need newer gutenprint for F10.

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings;

I just had to replace my aging Epson C82, and bought an NX515.  In
cups/gutenprint, the newest driver is for the NX400 series printers.  It
works, at resolutions up to 720x720.

Whats chances we can get the newest gutenprint built  for F10?

Thanks.

Not good since F10 is reaching its EOL

Fedora 10 already has the most recent stable release of gutenprint in
updates: 5.2.4.

And it turns out that both the current version for the rpm and the src is
5.2.4.  I didn't check that before posting, sorry for the noise.

So I found this morning when I pulled in the tarball.   Given fedora's
previously glacial acceptance of gutenprint, I expected the shipped version
to be well out of date, and was surprised to see it was current, and that it
is gutenprint itself that is lagging.  My apologies for the noise.

Time to rejoin the developers list I guess.

What a strange comment.  Gutenprint-5.0.0 (the first stable release) was
released on 30th July 2006, and built in rawhide three days later.
Release candidates had been in rawhide for a few weeks already at that
point.

Or perhaps you are referring to which version of gutenprint was in
Fedora 11 at release, something I've explained here?:
http://cyberelk.net/tim/2009/06/20/fedora-11-test-updates-for-printing/

Or this piece of bad timing, in which the first stable 5.2.x gutenprint
release occurred days after Fedora 10 froze?:

I'll let the history stand on its own merits, Tim.  I had to build gutenprint
from the tarballs in order to be able to print at all in FC2, and again in
FC6, in order to get working, usable on a day in day out basis support for an
epson C-82 printer that was bought new in 2002.  My printer was in fact the
test bed printer for gutenprint-5.02 borderless operations.  Back then we
tangled, on this list I believe, because fedora was still shipping gimp-
print-4.2.6, which was by then (early FC6 days) 4, maybe 5 years out of date.

To any truly impartial person, it would be obvious that I am always right.
