I will be sending Sven the 3.0.8 patches shortly. I think I know why Michael got his solid black output, and it had nothing (really) to do with the bug fixes I did for 3.0.7. The problem was that someone ripped out the calc_rgb_to_hsv and calc_hsv_to_rgb functions I put in print-util and replace

The current Gimp plugin (3.0.5) is a stable release at this point. I will accept bug fixes, and support for new printers only if these can be expressed in terms of functionality already in the plugin. I'm starting work on a new development release (3.1) that will lead to a 3.2 release. The goal

I discovered a fairly nasty bug in 6-color mode in which there was a discontinuity at the point that 6-color mode kicked in. Depending upon the orientation of the gradient, the effect is either a dark line of the color in question (cyan or magenta) or a white line. I had thought it was a print h
