Hi! The Tutorial shows you Step-by-Step How to Install GutenPrint Printer Drivers for CUPS, Ghostscript, Footmatic and Gimp Print Plugin on Linux Red-Hat/Oracle/CentOS/Scientific GNU/Linux Desktop.
Gutenprint is a suite of Printer Drivers for UNIX, Linux, and macOS systems 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 was renamed from its original name of Gimp-Print in order to clearly distinguish it from GIMP.
