GPDriver2 is a high-quality colour printer driver based on Gutenprint.
It requires a front-end (such as GemPrint) to interface with the RISC OS
printing system.

Please refer to the installation instructions that came with the complete
Gutenprint for RISC OS release archive.

This software is based on a slightly modified version of Gutenprint 5.0.1.
You can find source code and RISC OS build instructions in the downloads
section of the Gutenprint for RISC OS project web page:
