ajacoutot b5edb014d9 - major update to gutenprint 5.2.3 which is the latest stable version
If you're running with locally generated PPD files, you will need to
regen them with foomatic-ppdfile(1) so that the driver uses
gutenprint-ijs.5.2 and not gutenprint-ijs.5.0.

Tested on several printers without regression.

This package only installs the gutenprint data for Foomatic, not the
PPD files. PPD files can be created using foomatic-ppdfile(1) from the
foomatic-db-engine package as in the following example for an Epson
Stylus C64:
% foomatic-ppdfile -P C64
Epson Stylus C64 Id='Epson-Stylus_C64' Driver='gutenprint' CompatibleDrivers='gutenprint gutenprint-ijs-simplified.${MAJOR_V} gutenprint-ijs.${MAJOR_V}'
% foomatic-ppdfile -p 'Epson-Stylus_C64' -d 'gutenprint-ijs.${MAJOR_V}' > C64.ppd
C64.ppd can then be used with CUPS or with lpd(8) and foomatic-rip(1) as
the input filter.
Note that the 'gutenprint' driver must be compiled into Ghostscript to
work; as this is not the case under OpenBSD, you're advised to use the
ijs driver which will communicate with Ghostscript using libijs.
