Yes they did.
No they did not.
Because the developer wanted to play down the association with ONLY Gimp
they renamed the product. Rather than being a replacement it is just a

Linux needs a standard printing module and out of the box print drivers
written by the printer mfg and then adopted by all of the application
programs similar to the way printers work in either Windows or Mac.
