Paul Smedley has created a Gutenprint printer driver.
http://svn.netlabs.org/ecups/wiki/gutenprt

"I've used the IBM postscript driver source as a basis, and fixed a couple of bugs in it that prevented OS/2 applications from being able to change CUPS printer settings.

Additionally, I've preloaded around 600 PPD files from Gutenprint 5.2.0 beta 3 into the driver so that most users won't need to go through the process of importing PPD files into the driver.

Download link:
http://download.smedley.info/gutenprt-5.2.0-beta3-os2-20080713.zip

Known issues:

* Lucide and odin apps are unable to change some printer settings due to issues with pscript.drv's (on which gutenprt.drv is bases) inability to inject the relevant postscript code when passed raw postscript code."

Please let Paul know if you find this software useful. He needs user feedback to continue work on these projects. He maintains a bug tracker for many projects at http://mantis.smedley.info It just requires a simple registration.


If you'd like to help support continued development of this project (and many others) for OS/2 & eComStation, please consider making a donation either via Paypal using the link on Paul's website, or using the Mensys Online Store http://www.mensys.net/os2ports/
