Please note that many of these drivers are currently underdevelopment, and we do not necessarily have full specifications on allof them. We will fill in this list as we verify successful operationof these printers. You can help by testing this with your own printerand reporting the results!
Gimp-Print 4.2.7 is the last stable release of Gimp-Print version 4.2.x for Mac OS X; it includes 225 drivers supporting over 600 printers. The disk-image file includes an OS X installer package, an uninstaller package, plus illustrated documentation to easily guide you through the printer set-up process. (source code)
Canon Bjc 5000 Printer Drivers For Mac
The predecessor to this software package (the original Print plugin for the GIMP) was first written by Michael Sweet of Easy Software Products and initially worked only as a print plugin to the GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program). In the summer of 1999, I purchased an Epson Stylus Photo EX printer to feed my photography hobby. Finding no existing printer drivers, I adapted Mike's GIMP Print plugin to this six-color printer, and by the end of the year released version 3.0 of the Gimp-Print software, which was included in version 1.1 of the GIMP. The intention was for this to be the stable plugin in version 1.2 of the GIMP while development of the GIMP Print plugin continued for later release.
The Gimp-Print 4.2 release proved to be far more successful than we ever imagined. First of all, it was wonderfully stable from the outset; it was to be over 4 months before we needed to release an update. We added one major new feature shortly after release, support for the new Ghostscript driver architecture based on HP's HPIJS driver. This driver architecture allowed drivers to be compiled independently of Ghostscript (previously drivers had to be compiled into Ghostscript, a somewhat daunting project for end users). We continued to add more printers, dither algorithms, and so forth, all without breaking compatibility with the initial 4.2.0 release.
2002 was a very exciting year for Gimp-Print. Apple had released OS X for the Macintosh and was planning to rely on a lot of free/open source software for key functions of the OS. In particular from our standpoint, many vendors had not updated printer drivers for OS X, and many did not want to update their drivers for older printers. Since OS X had settled on CUPS as the core of its printing system from 10.2 on, and Gimp-Print had full support for CUPS, the fit was very obvious and Gimp-Print wound up becoming part of the OS X printing system. We were very busy that year preparing for release of Gimp-Print for OS X. This was done in 4.2.2, which we released almost 9 months after the initial 4.2.0 release (which says something about the stability of Gimp-Print 4.2). This release created a lot of excitement in the OS X world and for us, and we did three more releases in quick succession culminating with Gimp-Print 4.2.5 in early 2003.
Same issue here on MacBook Pro M1 on 11.0.1. Big Sur Drivers listed on the Canon site for the ir_ADV C5235 will not load, receive an error that the version is incorrect for my operating system. Attempted to add the printer via IP address and received various errors but it appeared online as available, but it crashes with an error when sending a print job. Reset the print system more than once with no affect. Appears that the supplied drivers are not compatible after all.
NOTE: It seems that IBM is not maintaining any more the Omni printer driver framework, as the driver homepage at IBM and any mention of it on IBM's web sites disappeared. There is still a SourceForge project where version 0.9.2 was added as the last release in September 2004. To keep this repository of technology, especially its excellent XML-data-driven concept and also the knowledge about the more than 450 printers Omni supported, in mind of users and driver developers, we have added this entry now. We do not recommend to use Omni in production environments and also do not develop on or maintain the project. Volunteers for continuing this development are welcome. And anyway, this code is free software and so it can help you developing your own drivers. Thanks to IBM and Mark Hamzy, Pete Zannucci, and Mark VanderWiele for working out this great concept! IBM's free Ghostscript driver project to support arround 450 printers, based on the knowledge about these printers of OS/2 times. The drivers itself are in dynamic libraries and nearly all printer information they work with is in an XML database, so that when the driver root is once built into Ghostscript, new drivers can be added without Ghostscript rebuild (the first plug-in approach for Ghostscript drivers). Omni provides a model for dynamically loading printer drivers, creating new devices by editing XML device description files, and simplifies new printer driver development by allowing for the subclassing of previous device features. It was also planned to add run-time integration of printers described by UPDF files. Initial code for that is already in the package. Foomatic data and CUPS PPD files are built by the driver package. The versions 0.9.1 and 0.9.2 of Omni you find also here.
To view the complete list of printers and scanners that are supplied by Software Update, see below or use the browser's Find feature to look for a specific name or model number. If you cannot find a driver for the specific model, check the list to see if a driver is available for a series of printers that may include the model. For example, a printer with the model number 5070 might use the driver for the "5000" or "5000 Series."
