The fourth release candidate for version 4.4 of ESP Print Pro is now available for download from the ESP Print Pro web site at:
http://www.easysw.com/printpro/rc.php
This release candidate will be available for testing until Friday, May 28th. Please test this release candidate to determine if there are any high-priority problems and report them using the problem report form at:
http://www.easysw.com/printpro/support.php
Bug reports may also be filed using the form at:
http://www.easysw.com/printpro/rcbug.php
Reports sent to the ESP Print Pro newsgroups or mailing lists are not automatically entered into the trouble report database and will not influence the final production release of 4.4, so it is very important that you report any problems you identify using the form.
ESP Print Pro 4.4 is based on CUPS 1.1.19 and adds support for MacOS X 10.2.x and client support for Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. The new release also adds drivers for several new EPSON and Lexmark printers and supports printing of binary PostScript files to most printers.
Note for all users: The 4.4 release has increased the conformance requirements for PPD files in order to improve software stability and may not work with existing installed PPD files. The "cupstestppd" utility can be used to manually diagnose and fix PPD files in the /etc/cups/ppd directory, or you can use the "Modify" action in the printer manager to install updated PPD files for your printers. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
