Hi! The Tutorial shows you Step-by-Step How to Install GutenPrint Printer Drivers in Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic LTS GNU/Linux Desktop.
And Gutenprint for Ubuntu 18.04 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.
Moreover, 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.
