      PortSystem 1.0
      Name: gimp-print
      Version: 4.2.7
      Category: print
      Maintainers: nomaintainer
      Description: Print Plugin & Ghostscript (and CUPS) Driver
      Long Description: Gimp-Print is a package of high quality printer drivers for Linux, BSD, Solaris, IRIX, and other UNIX-alike operating systems. In many cases, these drivers rival or exceed the OEM drivers in quality and functionality. Our goal is to produce the highest possible output quality from all supported printers. To that end, we have done extensive work on screening algorithms, color generation, and printer feature utilization. We are continuing our work in all of these areas to produce ever higher quality results, particularly on the ubiquitous, inexpensive inkjet printers that are nonetheless capable of nearly photographic output quality.
