The name Gutenprint recognizes Johannes Gutenberg, the inventor of the movable type printing press. Many users incorrectly called it Gimp, so the software was renamed Gutenprint to clearly distinguish it from the GIMP. Gutenprint has more than 1,300 drivers for Apollo, Apple, Brother, Canon, Citizen, Compaq, Dai Nippon, DEC, Epson, Fujifilm, Fujitsu, Gestetner, HP, IBM, Infotec, Kodak, Kyocera, Lanier, Lexmark, Minolta, NEC, NRG, Oki, Olivetti, Olympus, Panasonic, PCPI, Raven, Ricoh, Samsung, Savin, Seiko, Sharp, Shinko, Sony, Star, Tally, Tektronix and Xerox printers. Many of them did not update their drivers, and since Apple had chosen to use CUPS as the core of its printing system, Gimp-Print filled the void.

When Apple introduced Mac OS X, it omitted printer drivers, claiming that it was the printer manufacturer's task to produce these. It was originally developed as a plug-in for the GIMP, but later became a more general tool for use by other programs and operating systems (macOS and Windows). These drivers provide printing services for Unix-like systems (including Linux and macOS), RISC OS and Haiku. Gutenprint (formerly Gimp-Print) is a collection of free-softwareprinter drivers for use with UNIX spooling systems, such as CUPS, lpr and LPRng.

The last release that will work under Mac OS X 10.2.x (Jaguar) is 5.0.2. For multi-function devices, it supports only the printer function. Gutenprint is strictly a printer support package.

Gutenprint on Mac OS X would not be possible without CUPS, the open-source print spooler built-in for Mac OS X starting with version 10.2 (Jaguar). Gutenprint PPD files are described as Epson Stylus Photo R300 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.9 Epson Stylus Photo R300 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.9 Simplified Epson Stylus Photo R300 Foomatic/gutenprint-ijs.5.2 Epson Stylus Photo R300 Foomatic/gutenprint-ijs-simplified.5.2 The 'simplified' PPD files offer a basic set of options only, for selecting printer. Gutenprint (formerly Gimp-Print) is a collection of free-software printer drivers for use with UNIX spooling systems, such as CUPS, lpr and LPRng.These drivers provide printing services for Unix-like systems (including Linux and macOS), RISC OS and Haiku.

Many users have found it useful for finally being able to clean their Epson print heads when no default utility was previously available. Not only this, but Gutenprint provides many drivers for printers that are usually otherwise unsupported on Mac OS X, especially Epsons. Read and agree to the software license agreement to continue.
