Re: [QuadtoneRIP] HP printer support in QTR?

2010-03-30 by Roy Harrington

Hi Ernst,

I kind of keep my peripheral vision on GutenPrint stuff but don't follow all the
details.  My impression is that they don't support the "interesting"
HP or Canon printers.
A quick look at hp.com and the gutenprint supported printers don't seem to
overlap much -- but I must admit I'm not up on HP or Canon printers.
