   The GIMP-Print package is a collection of programs and a library for
high quality printing on modern inkjets, including `photographic
quality' models which offer very high resolutions and several inks.

   META: Short history of the project

   GIMP-Print is the print facility of the "GNU Image Manipulation
Program" (GIMP). It is in addition a suite of drivers that may be used
with common UNIX spooling systems using GhostScript or CUPS.  These
drivers provide printing quality for UNIX/Linux on a par with
proprietary vendor-supplied drivers in many cases, and can be used for
many of the most demanding printing tasks.  The core of GIMP-Print is a
shared library (libgimpprint) which may be used by any program that
wishes to produce high-qulaity printed output.
