OSNews In an interesting report on the porting of Gutenprint is read. Thanks to the donations of many users in a Bounty was Michael Pfeiffer be assisted in this printer driver backend to Haiku to port.
Gutenprint fits seamlessly into the system, setup and configuration is done on the panels of the native "libprint" pressure system. This had to be something it expanded to cover even the additional controls, which offers good print can.
are currently only the basic settings available, but when a bug is fixed in the Layout API are still a lot of other settings available.
In his report describes some of Michael obstacles he had overcome and, finally, gives some interesting figures about his project: the memory footprint of a page in letter-size is at 300 dpi 32 MiB, at 600 dpi 128 Mib.
(kZeilen 51) About 3 / 4 of the new print subsystem come directly from libgutenprint , 17% (11 kZeilen) fall on haikus pressure system libprint and only 5% (3 kZeilen) are the new Gutenprint driver owed.
You see, by using the Gutenprint library could Haikus printer support to efficiently and with relatively little effort currently over 700 printers to be expanded. Thank you for that, Michael!
