This release fixes an installer script issue that would cause the installer to go into an endless loop for certain Mac OS X 10.5.4 and higher users. The [[http://openprinting.org/show_driver.cgi?driver=min12xxw|min12xxw]] package contains universal binaries that will work on either PowerPC or Intel Macs. min12xxw is an open-source printer driver for Ghostscript supporting 5 Minolta PagePro laser printers. On Mac OS X Jaguar and later, printing with min12xxw requires [[http://www.openprinting.org/download/printdriver/macosx/foomatic-rip-2008-01-30.dmg|Foomatic-RIP]] (a CUPS filter script) and Ghostscript (an open-source PostScript interpreter), and a foomatic PPD for each [[https://www.linuxfoundation.org/#Printers|supported printer]]. The foomatic PPDs are included in the installation package. Min12xxw is a pbm (portable bitmap) filter by Manuel Tobias Schiller for various Minolta PagePro W-series (win)printers. The driver basically works, but is new and reports are few; thus it should be considered experimental, and the purchase of a printer that relies upon this driver is not advisable. =====Installation Notes ===== * Pleae make sure that you have downloaded and installed the Foomatic-RIP and Ghostscript packages. The min12xxw drivers will not work with these being installed. ===== Printer Set Up Instructions ===== To add a USB printer, Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5.x) user should open the Print & Fax System Preference pane.
