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  desc Category Summary Status Last Edited
500TODOOther printersAdd support for the Shinko S8145Waiting on Customer2023-10-01 Task Description

The T1/S8145 is a fancy "silver foil" thingey with two print heads.

Won't happen until a user with one shows up.

505TODOOther printersVerify support for Mitsubishi CP3020D/DA printers (and ...Requires testing2021-08-05 Task Description

Experimental support is in gutenprint, but this needs testing.

568TODOMitsubishi CP-Dxx familyFigure out how to set the "user string" that's supposed...New2017-03-23 Task Description

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

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..

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.

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..

649TODOShinko CHC-S6145/S2245Support the Kodak 6900/6950 and HiTi M610Requires testing2021-08-13 Task Description

The Kodak 6900 is actually the CHC-S2245-6A

The Kodak 6950 is actually the CHC-S2245-6C

HiTi M610 is also a rebadged S2245

We have the USB VID/PIDs already; just need a printer to test with.

654TODOOther printersValidate / Test Nidac Copal printersRequires testing2023-10-01 Task Description

DPB-4000 aka Fujifilm ASK4000 aka DNP Q8.

DPB-6000 aka Fujifilm ASK2000

DPB-7000 aka Fujifilm ASK2500

 

All models are in Gutenprint, and DBP-6000 is reported to work without any special backend.  But I want to confirm the rest work, and maybe write a backend so we can run status queries etc?

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.

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.

520Feature RequestSony UP-D printersInvestigate Sony UP-CR20L aka DNP SL-20Requires testing2020-11-10 Task Description

Sony sold their printer line to DNP, which rebranded these two models.

Investigate their Spool format, and find out if they need an intelligent backend.

537Feature RequestOther printersWrite backend for Shinko DP-1045 and Kodak D4000Waiting on Customer2023-10-01 Task Description

Aka ColorStream D3

They're the same thing, an 8" wide duplex printer. No support in Gutenprint yet.

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.

556Feature RequestSony UP-D printersstatus queries and flow controlResearching2021-08-15 Task Description

It would be really nice if we could figure out how to query the UP-DR200's printer status, media counts, flow control, etc etc.

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.

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..

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..)

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..

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

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

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.

634Feature RequestShinko CHC-S6245/ Kodak 8810Support Panorama sizes on EK8810Requires testing2024-01-21 Task Description

EK8810 in the APEX system supports:

8x14, 8x16, 8x18, 8x20, 8x22, 8x24, 8x32, and 8x36 print sizes.

(8x32, and 8x36 are presumably only available on 8x12 media)

Figure out how to make this happen. And what needs to be done on the overlapping areas.
