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)

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...

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.

673Bug ReportOther printersSupport more modern Kodak Dock printersNew2023-09-27 Task Description

Dock Plus, Dock Premium.

Might be wifi only though.

548Feature RequestShinko CHC-S6145/S2245Add support for Sinfonia CHC-S6145-5A (aka CS2-c)New2019-06-04 Task Description

It's a card-sized variant of the CS2.  89mm cards of various widths.

557Feature RequestSony UP-D printersInvestigate Sony DPP-FP30New2019-03-26 Task Description

And other members of that consumer printer family.  Not sure if they're still relevant commercially.

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.

567Feature RequestMitsubishi CP-Dxx familyFigure out how to query the overall job status on the D...New2017-03-23 Task Description

The command I know about just returns an endless status stream..

572Feature RequestMitsubishi MedSciFigure out how to set printer sharpening on the P95DNew2020-02-27 Task Description

The P93D supports it via the driver, but the P95D doesn't.  However, it can be set on the front panel..  It's in there somewhere, I bet.

Bonus -- Can we enable/disable iserial support?

585Feature RequestZebra printersAdd support for Zebra ID card printers.New2020-03-17 Task Description

I have a P120i that is in perfect working order.

613Feature RequestMitsubishi CP-Dxx familyFigure out how to pipeline jobs with D70 familyNew2021-02-20 Task Description

Right now the backend won't attempt to send anything over if a given deck is printing. However, the printer has 4*num_banks buffers that can be used to pipeline jobs!

So, try to figure out a way to overlap things. We'll have to be smarter about jobids..

651Feature RequestSony UP-D printersbrightness/contrast, etc on the UP-D898 familyNew2021-09-08 Task Description

There's presumably a way to configure this stuff from the host side,  In a FILE output mode the Windows drivers don't allow these settings to be changed, so to make this happen I'll have to obtain sniffs.

652Feature RequestSony UP-D printersPrint combining for UP-DR200New2020-12-02 Task Description

The UP-DR200, under Windows, will automatically combine two 4x6 copies into a single 8x6" print.  I have a sniff of this happening; figure out how it works, and implement in the backend if feasible.

653Feature RequestMitsubishi MedSciImplement Sharpening on the CP9xxx and CP30 printer fam...New2020-12-06 Task Description

I _think_ it's the same algorithm for both.  So use the CP30 to work out what's needed, and test it out.

The library API is already there, so once ready it should just be drop-innable.

Note:  This will also require extracting the data tables from the CP30 driver.

660Feature RequestMitsubishi CP-Dxx familyFigure out how to decode cut count and skip count on D7...New2021-05-16 Task Description

Cut count is on all of them but the guess is that it's only present in the eeprom dump rather than per-deck info.

Skip count is on all printers that can rewind (I think) -- ie K60, D80, EK305.  Also probably only in the eeprom dump instead of per-deck info.

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 (?)

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.

 

667Feature RequestOther printersSupport Liele Amber / M200 (4x6)New2023-09-27 Task Description

It's more or less equivalen tto the SELPHY series.  1280px wide print head, 300x300 dpi.

 

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.

672Feature RequestOther printersInvestigate HP Sprocket Studio printersNew2023-09-27 Task Description

Similar to the SELPHY models, 4x6" print sheet fed.

Might be wifi only.

674Feature RequestOther printersSupport iDRPT 4x6 printer (Zeva 1966)New2023-09-27 Task Description

4x6, sheet fed, has USB port.

677Feature RequestShinko CHC-S6245/ Kodak 8810Support updating lamination data on Sinfonia models (ie...New2023-10-30 Task Description

The EK8810 (and likely others) allow the current lamination data to be updated/replaced.

This potentially allows for a partial matte feature on all of these printers.

680Feature RequestShinko CHC-S6145/S2245Support Panorama on Kodak 6900/6950 modelsNew2024-01-07 Task Description

These variations of the S2245 can generate multi-panel panoramas.

No idea how this implemented yet.

There's a proper serial number returned so that's not so critical.
