Earlier I expressed concerns that Photoprint appeared unable to support
CUPS print management and thus would be unsuitable for general usage, so
I dropped a line to the developer who assured me as follows:
<< PhotoPrint can be used with CUPS drivers by picking "Adobe Postscript
Level 2" as the printer driver. Assuming PhotoPrint has been built with
libcups support, when you select a printer queue PhotoPrint will examine
that queue's PPD file and try and identify which driver has been
used. If it's a Gutenprint-driven queue then it will attempt to
select the correct Gutenprint driver automatically. Otherwise, it
automatically selects the Adobe Postscript Level 2 driver. Provided
both the
Gutenprint and PhotoPrint builds are new enough, it can also make
printer-specific options found in the PPD file available through the
print setup dialog. >>
I have since tried the package, on my rather poorly supported HP
printer, and surprisingly it did work although the color will need some
adjustment. I would be interested to get reactions from others as to how
they find this package.
Hello...
I've been using Photoprint for some time with an Epson R2400 8 colour
printer, with good results. It uses the full range of Gutenprint
driver functions, and it never occurred to me that it was not using
Gutenprint.
It's a standard Ubuntu installation. All I did was select the
appropriate driver in the printer set up.
Unfortunately I have no idea how to do proper colour management. If
anyone can point me to a tutorial (or even a book?) that doesn't
assume that you already know what it's talking about, I would be
eternally grateful.
Search for color proofing on Google - It will give you a lot of hits...
I have never done this with printers, but from my vague knowledge from
making profiles for camera and monitors, I think this would be the way:
1) Use a color-target to calibrate a scanner (scanner profile)
2) Print a test-color-target with your printer
3) Scan the printed target and use it to calibrate your printer (printer
profile)
Again, I don't know how people actually do this, but please let us know
how it turns out :)
