Printing for the Canon PIXMA iP4500 has been fixed

Printing near the bottom of the page has been improved for many modern Epson inkjet printers. In addition, we have determined that most of these printers can print with consistent high quality at 2880x2880 and 5760x2880 DPI. Therefore, these resolutions will be used for Ultra Photo and Best qualities respectively on these printers.

Printers affected include:
Stylus Photo R800, R1800, PM-G820
Stylus Photo R2400
All printers using Claria ink

Envelope paper sizes are now offered in both portrait and landscape form factor, as some printers expect envelopes to be fed long edge first while some expect them to be fed short edge first.

PCL laser printers now offer paper trays with adjustable guides. Many laser printers use adjustable guides for manual feed of papers narrower than letter size.

Two new dither algorithms, Segmented and Segmented New, have been added. These are not intended for normal use, and will normally behave like Ordered and Ordered New. However, if Raw color correction is selected and a printer with multiple drop sizes is used, the range of input will be divided up such that the high order bits will select the drop size to be used and the lower bits will specify the amount of ink. High order bits of 0 indicate that all drop sizes should be used.

Gutenprint is the new name for the Gimp-Print project.
