> As of July 7, 2024 the Gutenprint project has formally deprecated MacOS support. This means that no further MacOS-compatible binaries will be produced.
Does macOS not already have their own printer drivers? Why would someone install gimp-print on their MacBook?
Not the only problems with printing on modern Mac OS. I recently had to install little linux print servers at many locations due to Apple's Sequoia 15 dropping support for any sort of printing over USB to the ubiquitous and still better than most HP Deskjets used in many offices.
For context the guy who made Gutenprint (and CUPS) deprecated the PPD driver API in CUPS and it doesn’t support them anymore.

So I assume thats why there’s no maintainers, and probably will never be.

From the looks of that FAQ, macOS support for the project was effectively abandoned long ago. The most recent looking FAQ entries reference Mac OS 10.5, which was released in 2007. Declaring it "formally deprecated" now is - well, a formality.

(Is Gutenprint even relevant anymore? I don't know a lot about professional printing - if you know more than I do, how outdated does the printer list at https://gimp-print.sourceforge.io/p_Supported_Printers.php look?)

I think stopping binary releases is more than a formality though.

Blast from the past. The 1990's and 2000's were a different time.

Does anybody know how many active projects are still left there? And who wound up owning them after Slashdot?

There's a fair number of active projects on SourceForge - a couple of names you might recognize are DOSBox, GParted, and qBittorrent - but what pretty much all of them have in common is that they're old. To a first approximation, no one's launching new projects on SourceForge; projects use it out of inertia, not because it's good.
I must admit I never liked their UI. It still kind of has that 2000s shareware download site feel to it. It always felt too cluttered and bloated and in-the-way of the content. Also it has that stupid download countdown timer. I really hate when sites do that... can't they get rid of it? :(
Sourceforge is still used as a storage for ISOs, firmware builds, and other large binary "artifacts", because it allows large files, unlike GitHub.
