[Robert Krawitz]

Gutenprint 5.2.13-pre1 is a pre-release of Gutenprint 5.2.13. Please
report any problems to gimp-print-***@lists.sourceforge.net. It may

Gutenprint is a suite of printer drivers for UNIX, Linux, and
Macintosh OS X systems (10.6 and above) that use CUPS as their
printing system. Gutenprint currently supports over 2600 printers.
It also includes an enhanced Print plug-in for GIMP that replaces the
print plug-in packaged with the GIMP distribution.

Gutenprint is available for Linux, Macintosh OS X (10.6 and above as
of Gutenprint 5.2.11), and other UNIX systems. Please visit
http://gutenprint.sourceforge.net to download the package.
