Delfi_r — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 12:13:00 +0200

Paul Smedley <paul@smedley.info> nos comunica que acaba de subir un paquete que consiste en CUPS 1.2.11 (www.cups.org) + ESP Ghostscript 8.15.4 (http://www.cups.org/espgs/) + Gutenprint 5.1.2 (http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/)

Esta combinación debe permitir la impresión desde OS/2 & eComStation con impresoras que no tenían controladores específicos para nuestro sistema operativo - ver más detalle en http://gutenprint.sourceforge.net/p_Supported_Printers.php3

El paquete puede descargarse desde: http://svn.netlabs.org/ecups/wiki/CupsPort

Ahí mismo hay indicaciones de como usar el paquete.

Si las indicaciones resultan un éxito debería probar el controlador ECUPS de Bart van Leeuwen Ade manera que se imprima desde las aplicaciones usando CUPS (ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/ecups)

Se agradece toda clase de comentarios a
