Gutenprint / CUPS Dye-sublimation drivers

This is my personal to-do list for printer-related tasks, encompassing both Gutenprint (https://gimp-print.sourceforge.io/) development and CUPS backend work (https://git.shaftnet.org/gitea/slp/selphy_print.git)

ID Task Type Category  asc Summary Status Last Edited
630TODOCanon Selphy CP/ESInvestigate port 59223 on wifi-enabled Selphy modelsResearching2021-06-10 Task Description

On CP900, CP910, CP1200, and CP1300, a telnet interface is present on port 59223. Upon connecting, it prompts for an unknown password.

655TODOCanon Selphy CP/ESFigure out if matte printing is possible on SelphyNeo m...New2022-11-26 Task Description

If you print from the printer's UI, it allows you to select various overcoat patterns -- glossy, a matte-like texture, a finer matte texture, and for some, a fine grid pattern.

The windows drivers don't seem to export this at all.  See if this is a fluke.

580Bug ReportCanon Selphy CP/ESDetect when on battery power and handle it gracefullyNew2022-12-12 Task Description

User reported the CP800 failed to print when on battery power, turns out one of the status fields changed causing us to fail.  I believe that's resovled for the older SELPHY CP models, but the newer ones (including the CP790) and the ES series are likely to have a similar problem.

Not sure what can be done about this without getting the battery and experimenting...

641TODOCommon CodeRewrite README into more structured ocumentationNew2020-03-05 Task Description

I'd like to use this as an opportunity to learn ReStructuredText, and the Sphinx documentation system.

How far I take this is another matter..

608TODOCommon CodeMake Gutenprint more cross-compile friendlyNew2020-03-27 Task Description

The problem is that, at compile time, we rely on some host-compiled stuff to generate data files and whatnot. We need to compile the same stuff for the target.

I wonder if it may be worth moving to a more unified Make environment..

663Feature RequestCommon CodeMake backend capable of parsing PPD optionsNew2021-10-28 Task Description

The goal here is to make FastReturn a runtime option specified through the PPD, as not every spool file format can be extended to add this awareness.

Implementing this would probaably reqire the backend to depend on libcups and its PPD/option parsing stuff.

 

662Feature RequestCommon CodeAdd support for more STATEs and ATTRibutesNew2021-09-30 Task Description

Most of these wll need to be added on a per-family basis, though some at least can be handled in the markers code.

From CUPS:

cover-open, input-tray-missing, marker-supply-empty, marker-supply-low, media-empty, paused, timed-out

RFC8011:

other, door-open, interlock-open, media-jam, media-low, output-tray-missing, shutdown,

Modern CUPS:

marker-print-ribbon-almost-empty, marker-print-ribbon-empty, marker-print-ribbon-missing, output-tray-missing, power-down, power-up, subunit-warming-up, document-format-error (?)

658Feature RequestDNP/CitizenSupport the citizen cx-02-sWaiting on Customer2023-10-01 Task Description

it's an "enhanced" verison of the CX02, but it supports sticker media.  Figure out if it has a different USB ID and what all needs changing.

668Feature RequestDNP/CitizenSupport Fujifilm ASK-400Waiting on Customer2023-12-31 Task Description

Appears to be a rebadged Citizen CX-02 / DNP DS620

Main questions are what the VID/PID/IEEE1284 IDs are, and what firmware features were stripped out vs the other models.

(Eg rewind support, partial matte, and more)

 

665Feature RequestHiTi familySupprt "sheet" models like the P310 and P320 series.Waiting on Customer2023-06-12 Task Description

I have a P461 now, and it's different enough to be annoying.

Turns out there are three major families, "roll type", "sheet type" and "card type" and the commands aren't all the same.  !%!%#

669Feature RequestHiTi familySupport X610Waiting on Customer2023-09-10 Task Description

Three-head high-speed model capable of near-arbitary print lengths.

629Feature RequestHiTi familySupport the HiTi CS-2xx card models.Waiting on Customer2023-11-30 Task Description

HiTi supplied source code, in an "open source all rights reserved" drop

670Feature RequestHiTi familySupport P530DWaiting on Customer2023-09-10 Task Description

Duplexing 6" model. Unfortunately will need sniffs.

671Feature RequestHiTi familySupport P110 familyNew2023-09-10 Task Description

HiTi has a binary-only driver for this.

Unlikely to see support given its age and limited media availability.

h == Normal Quality

q == High Quality

p/m/r == ???

 

There's also the LUT files with H/M/T quality codes.

659Feature RequestKodak 605/70xxsupport "watermarking" on the EK70xx seriesWaiting on Customer2022-06-24 Task Description

Kodak's feature set refers to a textual "watermark" on the print surface.  This is presumably the same as DNP's "parial matte" feature.

Figure out how to mak ethis happen.

682Feature RequestKodak 605/70xxFirmware update support on Sinfonia modelsResearching2024-01-06 Task Description

(Includes rebranded variants like Kodaks..)

624Feature RequestKodak 605/70xxFigure out backprinting on Kodak 7010 and 7015Requires testing2019-09-23 Task Description

No documentation, no driver option, no idea how to drive it

588Bug ReportMagicard familyRegistration/Alignment issue with Black planeNew2018-01-04 Task Description

K extraction appears to work well, but when printing there's a registration problem.  The black layer appears to print several pixels higher than the color layers.

I'm not sure if this is something that needs a fixed offset applied, or is something that can vary printer-printer.

569Feature RequestMitsubishi CP9xxx familyFigure out image processing algorithms for CP-98xx fami...Requires testing2023-11-25 Task Description

They're an older-generation of the D70 family's.  Data tables are unfortunately embedded inside the drivers, which makes this a lot more challenging. Sigh.

(If nothing else, simply obtaining the RGB->YMC conversion/gamma tables would make the printers immediately useful..)

565Feature RequestMitsubishi CP9xxx familyCP-9600 family supposedly supports some sort of multicu...New2017-03-23 Task Description

http://www.mitsubishi-photo.cz/drivers/drivers_printers/cz_en/(%20+firmwaredrivers_printers_digi_en.htm

This references a lot of firmware images, including 'Firmware CP9600 for 13x18,10x15(x2),11.5x15(x2).zip -- None of those sizes are covered in the current Gutenprint code.

656TODOMitsubishi CP-Dxx familyValidate / Test Fujifilm ASK-500Waiting on Customer2021-03-31 Task Description

It's a rebadged CP-M1.  Backend support is theoretically complete (except for the USB VID/PID).  No gutenprint frontend work yet; I'll hold off on that until I know the backend functions properly.

632Feature RequestMitsubishi CP-Dxx familySupport Panorama on CP-D90DW familyRequires testing2024-01-21 Task Description

Printer supports combining two or three 6x8 prints into 6x14 or 6x20 panoramas. Figure out how to do this.

657Feature RequestMitsubishi CP-Dxx familyQuery and set vertical calibrationAssigned2021-05-16 Task Description

A user has a EK305 that cuts about 1mm off.  Mitsubshi's service manuals reference a "Service Tool" that can adjust this calibration (and other things)
