While this repository is considered the canonical upstream source for |

Generally speaking, the code in this repository will require the current |
|
|
|
|
Gutenprint release (or pre-release) to generate the actual print jobs. |

With rare exceptions, all printer support in selphy_print (and Gutenprint) |

relying on reverse-engineering and a great deal of experimentation. |
