CUPS + Gutenprint + ESP Ghostscript available for OS/2 & eComStation

Hi All,

I've just uploaded a package consisting of 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/)

This combination should allow printing on OS/2 & eComStation with printers that have not previously had drivers for our favourite OS - see http://gutenprint.sourceforge.net/p_Supported_Printers.php3 for details

The package can be downloaded from:
http://svn.netlabs.org/ecups/wiki/CupsPort

Also at that site are some directions on how to use the package.

Assuming success with the directions at that site, people could also try Bart's cups port driver in order to be able to print from existing OS/2 applications using CUPS (ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/ecups)

As usual, feedback is appreciated to either
paulDESPAM@DESPAMsmedley.info or to the ecups mailing list at
news://news.gmane.org/gmane.org.netlabs.ecups.devel

Cheers,
