1 2014-11-28 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 2 3 * Added support for the text-to-PostScript converter paps which 4 supports UTF-8 input. Thanks to Stéphane Aulery (saulery at free 5 dot fr) for the patch (Bug #1239). 6 7 2014-08-21 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 8 9 * Clean trailing white space from PPD file lines to 10 avoid a segfault caused by it (Bug #1227). Thanks to 11 Jörg Frings-Fürst for the patch. 12 13 2012-07-02 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 14 15 * Tagged branch for release 4.0.17. 16 17 * VERSION, README, USAGE, configure.ac: Updated for release 4.0.17. 18 19 * foomaticrip.h: Raised PATH_MAX to 65536 bytes so that CUPS 20 filter calls with many command line options work (Ubuntu bug 21 #1019662). 22 23 2012-06-25 Jiri Popelka <jpopelka@redhat.com> 24 25 * options.c, renderer.c: Fixed problems discovered by a Coverity scan 26 (Bug #752). 27 28 2012-06-18 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 29 30 * Tagged branch for release 4.0.16. 31 32 * VERSION, README, USAGE, configure.ac: Updated for release 4.0.16. 33 34 * foomaticrip.c: Fixed wrong access to command line option list which 35 prevented the command line options being passed on to the pdftops 36 CUPS filter when incoming PDF is converted to PostScript (Ubuntu 37 bug #1002699). 38 39 2012-06-06 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 40 41 * spooler.c: Fixed off-by-one bug which has cut off the last character 42 of the option string for CUPS (5th command line argument) and so made 43 the last option setting not being applied (Ubuntu bug #1003194). 44 45 2012-03-23 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 46 47 * Tagged branch for release 4.0.15. 48 49 * VERSION, README, USAGE, configure.ac: Updated for release 4.0.15. 50 51 * options.c: Improved check whether a driver works with PDF input data: 52 Do not take into account bogus options which appear due to bugs in 53 PPD files (type is TYPE_NONE) or composite options and in addition 54 add debug output to show the reason for the decision to convert to 55 PostScript (Ubuntu bugs #953962 and #960989). 56 57 2012-03-14 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 58 59 * Tagged branch for release 4.0.14. 60 61 * VERSION, README, USAGE, configure.ac: Updated for release 4.0.14. 62 63 * foomaticrip.c: If the input data is PDF but the driver requires 64 PostScript, use the pdftops CUPS filter when CUPS is the spooler. 65 This way we always use the same method to convert PDF to PostScript 66 in the whole system, including any workarounds applied in the CUPS 67 filter. 68 69 2012-03-02 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 70 71 * Tagged branch for release 4.0.13. 72 73 * VERSION, README, USAGE, configure.ac: Updated for release 4.0.13. 74 75 2012-03-02 Lars Uebernickel <lars@uebernic.de> 76 77 * spooler.c: When using CUPS support option strings (5th command 78 line argument to a CUPS filter) of more than 512 bytes. For PPD 79 files with very many options this string can get very long (Thanks 80 to Yoshito Nishihara, yoshito dot nishihara at nts dot ricoh dot co 81 dot jp for reporting this). 82 83 2012-02-10 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 84 85 * Tagged branch for release 4.0.12. 86 87 * VERSION, README, USAGE, configure.ac: Updated for release 4.0.12. 88 89 2012-02-10 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 90 91 * Tagged branch for release 4.0.11. 92 93 * VERSION, README, USAGE, configure.ac: Updated for release 4.0.11. 94 95 2012-02-10 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 96 97 * foomaticrip.c: If incoming PDF needs to be converted to PostScript 98 due to the filter command line not being a standard Ghostscript 99 command line, no separate PDF command line being supplied, or 100 options in the PPD being implemented by PostScript code, use 101 preferrably Ghostscript (with the "ps2write" device) for this 102 conversion as Ghostscript is better optimized for printing and 103 has a more sophisticated color management compared to Poppler. 104 105 2012-02-10 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 106 107 * Tagged branch for release 4.0.10. 108 109 * VERSION, README, USAGE, configure.ac: Updated for release 4.0.10. 110 111 2011-08-18 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 112 113 * foomaticrip.c, renderer.c: SECURITY FIX: Use the mktemp shell 114 command/mkstemp() function to create the debug log file and the 115 renderer input data file (both files only generated when 116 foomatic-rip is un in debug mode) with file names with an 117 unpredictable part. The names are /tmp/foomatic-rip-XXXXXX.log and 118 /tmp/foomatic-rip-YYYYYY.ps where the XXXXXX and YYYYYY are 119 replaced by random strings. Thanks to Tim Waugh from Red Hat for 120 for the patch (bug #936, CVE-2011-2924). 121 122 2011-07-25 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 123 124 * Tagged branch for release 4.0.9. 125 126 * VERSION, README, USAGE, configure.ac: Updated for release 4.0.9. 127 128 2011-07-25 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 129 130 * foomaticrip.c: Fixed build of foomatic-rip on systems without 131 D-Bus. Thanks to Richard Hughes (hughsient at gmail dot com) for 132 the quick fix. 133 134 2011-07-25 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 135 136 * Tagged branch for release 4.0.8. 137 138 * VERSION, README, USAGE, configure.ac: Updated for release 4.0.8. 139 140 2011-07-24 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 141 142 * foomaticrip.c: Removed stray characters from "pstoraster" 143 Ghostscript command line. 144 145 * foomaticrip.c, pdf.c, renderer.c: Added "-dNOINTERPOLATE" to the 146 Ghostscript command lines as this makes Ghostscript rendering 147 the pages significantly faster. Use "ps2write" instead of "pswrite" 148 as PostScript output device as Ghostscript produced huge output 149 files with "pswrite" (and "pswrite" is also deprecated now). 150 151 * foomaticrip.c: SECURITY FIX: It was possible to make CUPS executing 152 arbitrary commands as the system user "lp" when foomatic-rip was 153 used as CUPS filter. Fixed by not parsing named options (like 154 "--ppd lj.ppd") when foomatic-rip is running as CUPS filter, as 155 CUPS does not supply named options to their filters. 156 157 2011-03-04 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 158 159 * configure.ac: Support for libdir in the ./configure script. 160 161 * pdf.c: Use mkstemp() instead of mktemp(). Thanks to Richard 162 Hughes (hughsient at gmail dot com) for supplying me this patch 163 from Red Hat. 164 165 * colord.c, colord.h, Makefile.am, configure.ac, foomaticrip.c, 166 options.c, options.h: Added support for ICC-based color managment. 167 Both colord and CUPS' ICC-related PPD extensions are supported. 168 For colord D-Bus is required. Thanks to Richard Hughes (hughsient 169 at gmail dot com) for the patch. 170 171 2011-02-21 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 172 173 * foomatic-rip.1.in: Corrected typos in the man page for 174 foomatic-rip. Thanks to Tim Waugh from Red Hat for the patch (bug 175 #659). 176 177 2011-02-18 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 178 179 * Tagged branch for release 4.0.7. 180 181 * VERSION, README, USAGE, configure.ac: Updated for release 4.0.7. 182 183 2011-01-04 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 184 185 * acinclude.m4, configure.ac: General cleanup (as in bugs #609, 186 #610). 187 188 2010-12-23 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 189 190 * README: Corrected several typos. Thanks to Christopher Yeleighton 191 (giecrilj at stegny dot 2a dot pl) for the patch (bug #598). 192 193 2010-12-16 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 194 195 * README: Corrected e-mail address of Helge Bliscke. 196 197 2010-12-15 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 198 199 * foomaticrip.c: Run strtok() on a copy of the list of input files 200 for the first check, as strtok() modifies the string it parses, 201 overwriting the delimiters with zeros. Before, the list of input 202 files only showed its first entry when being parsed again for 203 actually printing the files (Ubuntu bug #676680). 204 205 * Tagged branch for release 4.0.6. 206 207 * VERSION, README, USAGE, configure.ac: Updated for release 4.0.6. 208 209 * options.c: Allow length limitation for the substitution of the special 210 entities "&job;", "&user;", "&host;", "&title;", and "&options;": 211 The maximum length can be supplied via the PPD keywords 212 "*FoomaticRIP<Item>EntityMaxLength: <mexlength>" (for example 213 "*FoomaticRIPUserEntityMaxLength: 8") or by adding a number to the 214 individual entities (for example "&user8;"). If the string to 215 insert for the entity is longer than the limit, it gets cut off to 216 the limit. Feature requested by Uli Wehner from Ricoh 217 (http://forums.linux-foundation.org/read.php?30,13134). 218 219 2010-12-10 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 220 221 * foomaticrip.c: Make file type detection also work if the PostScript 222 or PDF input is preceeded by PJL with an additional '%' character. 223 Thanks to Alexpro for reporting this as Ubuntu bug #688551 and 224 supplying the patch. 225 226 2010-11-11 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 227 228 * util.c: The temp_dir() function did not take into account that 229 getenv() can return NULL. In such a case the fallback to /tmp 230 did not work. Thanks to Abel Abraham Camarillo Ojeda (spam at 231 verlet dot org) for the patch (bug #552). 232 233 * fileconverter.c: Make the check for the text filter actually 234 work. Before, the text filter choice from the configuration file 235 was simply taken for good and not checked whether it is supported. 236 Thanks to Abel Abraham Camarillo Ojeda (spam at verlet dot org) 237 for the patch (bug #551). 238 239 2010-08-27 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 240 241 * options.c: Made sure that the unhtmlify() function does not write 242 the zero byte to mark the string end beyond the buffer. Also use a 243 much larger buffer for parsing "*FoomaticRIPOptionPrototype:" in 244 the PPD file (bug #515). 245 246 * util.c: In strncpy_tochar() use the isempty() function to check 247 whether the input string is empty (bug #514). 248 249 2010-08-10 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 250 251 * Tagged branch for release 4.0.5. 252 253 * VERSION, README, USAGE, configure.ac: Updated for release 4.0.5. 254 255 2010-07-07 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 256 257 * options.c: Make substitution of zeros by the the user-defined 258 page size in the prototype string for the custom page size 259 working. Before, only substitution of %0 and %1 worked reliably. 260 Thanks to Lutz Sammer (johns98 at web dot de) for reporting this 261 problem (see also bug 514, comment #1). 262 263 * options.c: Make custom page size settings also work if the custom 264 size is set via embedded PostScript code and the comment to mark 265 the selected option setting is only "%% FoomaticRIPOptionSetting: 266 PageSize=Custom", without the size and unit parameters. Thanks to 267 Lutz Sammer for reporting this problem (see also bug 514, comment #1). 268 269 2010-07-02 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 270 271 * spooler.c: Config file for the default printer in spooler-less 272 (direct) printing mode was not read correctly. Thanks to Lutz 273 Sammer (johns98 at web dot de) for reporting this problem (see 274 also bug 514, comment #1). 275 276 * spooler.c: Fixed error message output if a printer's PPD is missing 277 in spooler-less mode. There was a segfault due to the printer name 278 not specified in the _log() function call. Thanks to Lutz Sammer 279 for reporting this problem (see also bug 514, comment #1). 280 281 * util.c: The isempty() function did not consider NULL as an empty 282 string. This caused segfaults when a string is considered non-empty 283 but in fact it is NULL. Thanks to Lutz Sammer for reporting this 284 problem (see also bug 514, comment #1). 285 286 * util.c: strncpy_tochar() did not check whether the input string 287 is empty and returned a pointer one character beyond the input 288 string, leading to segfaults in the code calling this function. 289 Thanks to Lutz Sammer for reporting this problem (see also bug 514, 290 comment #1). 291 292 2010-06-08 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 293 294 * USAGE: Documentation correction. 295 296 2010-06-07 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 297 298 * USAGE: Finally completed the documentation update to reflect that 299 the Ghostscript library is not needed any more. 300 301 * configure.ac, util.h, util.c: Added implementation of strcasestr() 302 function for non-GNU systems (completes fix of bug #303, thanks 303 to Tim Mooney for this fix). 304 305 * foomaticrip.c, foomaticrip.h, pdf.c: Let foomatic-rip actually 306 error out if something goes wrong. It simply continued or closed 307 silently (exit status 0) on the following events: Failure of 308 print_file() function call, failure of Ghostscript to determine 309 the number of pages of a PDF input file (causes Ubuntu bug 310 #570522), failure to start Ghostscript to render a PDF file, 311 failure to create a temporary file for extracting selected pages 312 from a PDF file, failure to run Ghostscript to extract pages from 313 a PDF file, page count result being a negative number. 314 315 * foomaticrip.c: Use EXIT_PRINTED constant and not hard-coded "0" 316 as exit value when terminating successfully. 317 318 * foomaticrip.h: Correct definition of EXIT_STARVED constant. 319 320 2010-03-26 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 321 322 * options.c, options.h: Made some strings longer, to avoid space 323 problems. 324 325 2010-02-15 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 326 327 * Tagged branch for release 4.0.4. 328 329 * VERSION, README, USAGE, configure.ac: Updated for release 4.0.4. 330 331 * README, USAGE: Reflected that libgs is not needed any more. 332 333 2010-02-12 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 334 335 * pdf.c, configure.ac: Removed dependency on libgs by calling 336 Ghostscript via the command line. This makes packaging for Linux 337 distributions easier and also building on Mac OS X and Solaris 338 gets simplified (Bugs #303, #382, #384). 339 340 2010-02-05 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 341 342 * options.c, spooler.c: Made suppression of CUPS accounting PostScript 343 code into a PostScript data stream actually working: 344 PPD keyword is "*FoomaticRIPCommandLinePDF", value must be "true", 345 and check of the ps_accounting variable must be done after parsing 346 the PPD file (Ubuntu bug #513690). 347 348 2010-02-03 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 349 350 * postscript.c: Added NULL pointer check to avoid segfault when 351 custom margins option is added to the PPD file via the 352 alignmargins script (Bug #413, Debian bug #539676). 353 354 2010-02-02 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 355 356 * foomaticrip.c: If incoming PDF needs to get converted to 357 PostScript remove /usr/lib/cups/filter from $PATH, so that 358 "pdftops" of Poppler or XPDF gets called and not "pdftops" of 359 CUPS. The latter has another command line and does undesired page 360 management operations (Ubuntu bug #463059). 361 362 2010-01-19 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de> 363 364 * *.[ch], README: Added license headers to all source files and 365 clarified in the README that the license is GPLv2 or later. 366 367 2010-01-16 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 368 369 * options.c: Fixed the previous revision to have bug #399 also 370 fixed for float options. 371 372 2010-01-15 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 373 374 * options.c: When building the driver command line do not use the 375 empty code fields of automatically generated choices of 376 numerical options of Foomatic-based PPDs (bug #399). 377 378 2009-08-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 379 380 * Tagged branch for release 4.0.3. 381 382 * VERSION, README, USAGE, configure.ac: Updated for release 4.0.3. 383 384 * foomaticrip.c: If PDF input has to be converted to PostScript 385 due to a PPD which does not support PDF (like the PPDs of the 386 Foomatic "Postscript" driver), we try at first to use "pdftops" 387 (Poppler) and only if this fails we use Ghostscript. This is 388 because Ghostscript blows up PDFs to huge PostScript 389 files (which many PostScript printers failed on), whereas 390 Poppler's output stays compact. As "pdftops" does not support 391 reading from stdin, we create a temporary file with the input 392 before starting to convert. Note that "pdftops" will get only 393 used if it has the "-origpagesizes" option (Poppler 0.11.x or 394 newer), as otherwise documents with pages of different sizes do 395 not get converted correctly (bug #365). 396 397 * pdf.c, util.c, util.h: Moved temp_dir() function from pdf.c to util.c 398 as it is now also needed by foomaticrip.c. 399 400 * foomaticrip.c: Fixed LPRng support (bug #337): PPD file names 401 were not read correctly from /etc/printcap (PRINTCAP_ENTRY 402 environment variable), starting 8 characters after the beginning 403 of the path and not stopping at a colon. Also the last command 404 line argument of the foomatic-rip call was always considered the 405 name of the PPD file, even if the PPD file name was already 406 determined by the PRINTCAP_ENTRY environment variable or the 407 "--ppd" command line argument. 408 409 2009-07-01 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 410 411 * foomaticrip.c: Do not use JCL which is preceeded to the input 412 data. We can generate it on our own and even merge it with the JCL 413 coming from the driver. 414 415 * renderer.c: Make sure that "@PJL SET ..." commands from the PPD 416 file do not get nmerged into the driver's PJL header too early, 417 expecially not before "@PJL JOB ..." lines, as then the commands 418 get ignored. This happened especially with the "InputSlot" 419 option for the "cdnj500" driver. 420 421 2009-06-24 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 422 423 * Tagged branch for release 4.0.2. 424 425 * VERSION, README, USAGE, configure.ac: Updated for release 4.0.2. 426 427 2009-05-31 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 428 429 * configure.ac: Add support for cups-config (bug #349). 430 431 2009-05-27 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 432 433 * renderer.c: Fixed no-return-in-nonvoid-function compiler warning 434 caused by the write_binary_data() function (bug #348). 435 436 2009-04-23 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 437 438 * Re-tagged branch for release 4.0.1. 439 440 * VERSION, README, USAGE, configure.ac: Updated. 441 442 2009-04-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 443 444 * Tagged branch for release 4.0.1. 445 446 * foomatic-rip.1.in: Added documentation for the configuration file 447 (/etc/foomatic/filter.conf, bug #312), minor text fixes. 448 449 * postscript.c: Fixed segfault when the PPD contains only a 450 default value but not an option for it (like 451 "*DefaultResolution: 600dpi" and the client inserts this as an 452 option setting into the PostScript input data stream (Windows 453 clients do so). Bug #324. 454 455 2009-03-30 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 456 457 * options.c: Custom page sizes were not accepted if one of the three 458 parameters "WidthOffset", "HeightOffset", or "Orientation" of the 459 "PageSize" option in the PPD file did not allow 0 as value. 460 Made error messages for the parameters of custom options more 461 readable. 462 463 * foomaticrip.c, options.c: If there are printing system options 464 (like "media" of CUPS) and PPD options (like "PageSize") on the 465 command line and they do the same thing (like choosing the paper 466 size) let the setting of the PPD option always have priority, 467 as this is expected for a CUPS filter (see CUPS STR #3148). This 468 is done by treating the printing system options before the PPD 469 options. This fixes Ubuntu bug #338999. 470 471 2009-03-08 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 472 473 * renderer.c: Fixed segmentation fault in JCL option handling (bugs 474 #311 and #317). 475 476 2009-03-07 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 477 478 * foomatic-rip.1.in: Fixed typos. 479 480 * renderer.c: When doing the massaging of the remderer command line 481 foomatic-rip inserts 'gs' at the wrong place in command lines of 482 Foomatic 3.x-generated PPD files for the "Postscript" driver, leading 483 to duplicate calls of Ghostscript (bug #316). 484 485 * foomaticrip.c: Fixed buffer overflow mentioned in bug #311. 486 487 2009-02-11 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de> 488 * foomaticrip.c: The value of the "execpath" variable in the config 489 file was not used fully: Only the characters leading up to the first 490 ':' were copied into the programs $PATH environment variable. 491 492 2009-02-11 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de> 493 * renderer.c: Fixed several bugs in the argument replacements in 494 massage_gs_commandline. 495 * foomaticrip.c: Use "gspath" and "echopath" from the config file. 496 497 2009-02-09 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de> 498 499 * fileconverter.h, foomaticrip.c, renderer.c, util.c: Made 500 foomatic-rip building under Mac OS X, mainly by replacing 501 functions which are GNU-only. 502 503 2009-02-02 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 504 505 * renderer.c: When foomatic-rip looked for JCL options in the 506 binary output of the driver to merge them with JCL options from 507 the PPD file, it read binary data into a C string, which causes 508 problems when this data contains zeroes. Finally fixes Ubuntu bug 509 LP: #303691. 510 511 2009-01-29 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 512 513 * renderer.c: If there were very many JCL lines in the driver's 514 output or coming together by JCL options, the JCL merging 515 process (kid4) segfaulted (Ubuntu bug LP: #321164, 516 https://launchpad.net/bugs/321164). 517 518 2009-01-14 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 519 520 * Tagged branch for release 4.0.0. 521 522 2009-01-13 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 523 524 * options.c: Custom JCL options were not inserted correctly 525 (thanks to Bin Li from Ricoh for reporting this). Fixed also 526 that "None" as argument for a string or password option is 527 considered as the empty string. 528 529 * options.c: String and password option settings got inserted into 530 the command line or the PostScript code with the "Custom." 531 prefix (thanks to Bin Li from Ricoh for reporting this). Fixed 532 also a segmentation fault due to missing initialization of 533 components of the param_t data structure by the 534 option_add_custom_param_from_string() function. Removed also 535 some unneeded free() calls. 536 537 2009-01-12 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 538 539 * acinclude.m4: Eliminated warnings when generating ./configure 540 541 2009-01-08 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 542 543 * README, USAGE: Version 4.0.0. 544 545 * STANDARD_installation: Tell also that "sudo make install" works 546 to run "make install" as root. 547 548 * Makefile.am: Fixed cleaning rules. Many transient files did not 549 get removed. 550 Fixed "make inplace" and uninstalling rules. 551 552 2009-01-03 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 553 554 * postscript.c: Do the workaround for PostScript input of 555 OpenOffice 1.1.x also for StarOffice 8 (Thanks to Martin Jacobs, 556 martin dot jacobs at arcor dot de, for the patch). 557 558 2008-12-10 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 559 560 * foomaticrip.c, foomaticrip.h, options.c: The PostScript code of 561 PostScript options did not get inserted when the spooler is CUPS 562 and foomatic-rip had to convert incoming PDF to PostScript 563 (Ubuntu bug #299918). 564 565 2008-12-05 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 566 567 * README: Updated for Foomatic 4.x 568 569 * test/*: Added test suite based on the LSB tests for foomatic-rip 570 571 * README, USAGE, foomatic-rip.1.in, foomaticrip.c, options.c, pdf.c. 572 spooler.c: s/GhostScript/Ghostscript/ 573 574 2008-11-30 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 575 576 * postscript.c: Insert the "%%PageSetup" section directly after 577 the DSC comment header of the page, all page drawing commands 578 must be after the section. 579 580 * postscript.c: Inserted PostScript option settings from pstops 581 were not corrected with custom option settings done on the 582 command line (numerical, string, password). 583 584 * options.c: Small fix for better readability. 585 586 * renderer.c: If there was only one PJL option in the PPD no PJL got 587 added at all (Ubuntu bug #303691). 588 589 * renderer.c: Fixed several bugs in the merging of PJL options. 590 In some cases equal keywords were not found in the two JCL 591 option sets or keywords only differing by the last character 592 were considered equal. Also a command in the first line of the 593 driver's PJL header got dropped. 594 595 2008-11-26 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de> 596 * options.c: When a numeric value is out of range, use the default 597 value instead of the closest valid value (i.e. min or max). Do not 598 truncate string options which are longer than allowed, use the 599 default instead. Apply AllowedChars and AllowedRegExp also to 600 Password options. 601 602 Small bug fix: The generated regular expression for AllowedChars was 603 missing the final '$' and therefore didn't match all cases 604 correctly. 605 606 Bug fix: Merge JCL options correctly 607 608 2008-11-21 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de> 609 * options.c: Fixed bug: Setting the page range of an option to 610 multiple ranges (seperated by comma), foomatic-rip was caught in an 611 infinte loop. 612 613 * options.c: Fixed bug: Page ranges were not applied for command line 614 options when processing PostScript files (the renderer wasn't 615 restarted as it should have been). 616 617 2008-11-13 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de> 618 * options.c: Don't prepend @PJL to JCL options if they already start 619 with @PJL. Unhexify JCL commands. 620 621 * options.c: Handle CustomJCL<option> and ParamCustomJCL<option>. 622 Prefer JCL Custom options over foomatic options (as was already done 623 for PostScript options). 624 625 2008-10-22 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 626 627 * postscript.c: Reset the "fromcomposite" variable when treating 628 a "%%BeginFeature" line. In this case we do not do the treatment 629 of composite options and so the variable should never remain set 630 from a previous "%%FoomaticRIPOption" line. Fixes the problem 631 described in comment #23 of bug #173. 632 633 2008-10-15 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de> 634 * ppd.c: In some cases, the code for the true and false settings of 635 boolean values was interchanged. E.g., if the user (or the default) 636 chose "false" for an option, the code for "true" was embedded in the 637 PostScript / JCL / Command Line. 638 639 2008-10-15 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de> 640 * postscript.c: Let foomatic-rip not try to correct the 641 settings of boolean and enumerated choice options embedded in 642 the Prolog and Setup sections of the PostScript input data. With 643 the current pstops filter of CUPS we cannot determine any more 644 whether these options come from pstops or from the application. 645 Corrections of these options are only needed in the PageSetup, 646 anyway, for page overrides (Bug #173). [ported from foomatic-rip 3] 647 648 2008-10-01 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de> 649 * pdf.c: Use $TMPDIR for storing temporary files, and only use 650 P_tmpdir or /tmp if $TMPDIR is not writable. 651 652 2008-09-25 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 653 654 * beh.in: Use /tmp as temporary directory when CUPS does not 655 supply the $TMPDIR environment variable (Ubuntu bug #268284). 656 657 2008-09-24 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de> 658 * foomaticrip.c: Remove leading whitespace from jobs instead of 659 passing it on. Flush() standard output after writing leading data to 660 ensure it comes first (not after or between the output of the 661 renderer). 662 663 2008-09-24 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de> 664 * pdf.c, renderer.c: Put JCL data also around PDF documents 665 666 2008-08-13 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de> 667 * pdf.c: foomatic-rip inserted the -sOutputFile GhostScript command 668 line argument at the wrong position when printing a PDF file (not from 669 stdin), which led GhostScript to crash 670 * options.c: Option settings can be given in the PPD file before the 671 option is "declared", which led foomatic-rip to think that there are 672 PostScript options (the default) in the PPD and the driver could not 673 understand PDF input. Now, foomatic-rip checks for PostScript 674 options after the whole PPD has been read. 675 676 2008-08-12 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de> 677 * options.c: Use FoomaticRIPCommandLinePDF if it is available. Don't 678 use it if at least one option wants to insert PostScript code 679 * pdf.c: Only create a temporary file if there actually are page 680 overrides, not if printing the whole document 681 * postscript.c: Fixed bug #142, custom input value which was wrongly 682 set by pstops was not set to the correct value by foomatic-rip 683 684 2008-08-05 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de> 685 * renderer.c: fixed bug #146, merging of JCL options omitted some 686 options. 687 * options.c: Fixed bug #151, crash when default value of an option was 688 set from a composite option. 689 690 2008-07-30 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de> 691 * *: Added support for the *FoomaticRIPCommandLinePDF keyword. It will 692 be used for PDF input. If it is missing, *FoomaticRIPCommandLine 693 will be used _only_ if it calls GhostScript, otherwise the Job is 694 converted to PostScript. 695 * pdf.c: Pagerange-specific options work correctly now. If the command 696 line calls GhostScript, the -d(First|Last)Page parameters are used. 697 Otherwise, the PDF is split with GhostScript and fed to the command 698 line afterwards. 699 700 2008-06-22 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de> 701 * options.c: Allow float values on *OrderDependency settings. This is 702 valid according to the PPD spec, and is used by some HP PPDs. 703 704 2008-06-17 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de> 705 * options.c: Allow choices starting with "From". Even if they do not 706 point to a valid composite option. 707 * renderer.c: Parse more complex command lines correctly when looking 708 for the "gs" executable 709 710 2008-06-17 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de> 711 * options.c, postscript.c: fixed bug #138 (foomatic-rip does not 712 always insert the code pieces of the members of composite options) 713 714 2007-06-13 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 715 716 * renderer.c: When replacing elements of the Ghostscript command line, 717 do not remove the spaces between the items. This made printing with 718 the new foomatic-rip not working in general for most cases. 719 720 2008-05-11 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de> 721 * pdf backend: removed poppler dependency, process pdfs with libgs 722 now. Changed the buildsystem to reflect this. 723 724 2008-04-23 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de> 725 726 * foomatic-rip.c, configure.ac: Compose the current version out of the 727 contents of VERSION and `bzr revno`. It is now possible to find out 728 foomatic-rip's version by calling it with one of "--version", "-v", 729 "--help", or "-h". 730 731 2008-04-22 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de> 732 733 * foomatic-rip.c, options.c: Fixed a bug in option parsing (some 734 options were not read correctly). 735 736 Let option settings for the "PageSetup" sections of the 737 PostScript input file really be inserted in and not before the 738 "PageSetup" sections. 739 740 2008-04-21 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de> 741 742 * postscript.c, options.c: New placeholder "&rbinumcopies;" which gets 743 replaced by the value set in the "%RBINumCopies: ..." or 744 "%%RBINumCopies: ..." line in the PostScript input. If the PostScript 745 input does not contain such lines, the number of copies according to 746 the foomatic-rip command line is inserted. Feature request of George 747 Liu from Ricoh. 748 749 2008-03-17 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de> 750 * foomaticrip.c, options.c: Moved buildcommandline() and 751 append_*_section() to options.c, where they belong. 752 * foomaticrip.c, spooler.c: Moved some spooler specific stuff to spooler.c 753 to clean up foomaticrip.c some more. 754 755 2008-03-16 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de> 756 * foomaticrip.c: Started to move all process forking to process.c - to 757 share it with the pdf handler. Furthermore, the functions in process.c 758 will keep track of all forked processes and kill them when foomatic-rip 759 reveives a SIGTERM. 760 761 2008-03-08 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de> 762 * options.c: Accept custom page sizes without a unit (assume pt) 763 764 2008-03-04 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de> 765 * foomatic-rip.c, options.c: Use default values for custom options with 766 wrong parameters (e.g. PageSize=Custom) - Ubuntu bug #196687 767 768 2008-03-03 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de> 769 * foomatic-rip.c: Fixed minor bug in option parsing 770 * pdf.cc/pdf.h: Beginning of pdf printing support. Printing is done 771 via ghostscript, using the commandline in the ppd file that is already 772 used for rendering postscript. 773 774 2008-01-26 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de> 775 * foomatic-rip: Fixed minor bugs found while testing foomatic-rip 776 with cups. 777 778 2008-01-22 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de> 779 * foomatic-rip: Merged foomatic-gswrapper into foomatic-rip. 780 * *: Fixed 'make install' 781 782 2008-01-14 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de> 783 * *: Added support for CUPS custom options 784 (see http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/spec-ppd.html#OPTIONS) 785 o PPD files can contain both CUPS and foomatic custom options 786 o Custom options can be set like this on the command line: 787 Options with a single parameter: 788 -o optionname=Custom.value or 789 -o optionname=value 790 Options with multiple parameters: 791 -o optionname={param1=value1 param2=value2 ...} 792 793 * options.c: Refactored the options system to allow for custom 794 options. As a nice side effect, lots of redundant code (getting 795 commands / drivervalues for the options, syncing PageSize 796 and PageRegion) could be removed from foomaticrip.c. 797 798 2007-12-21 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de> 799 * *: Converted foomatic-rip to C and updated the build system. 800 801 2007-12-04 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 802 803 * foomatic-gswrapper.in: Let Ghostscript always use buffered 804 input. This works around a Ghostscript bug which prevents 805 printing encrypted PDF files with Adobe Reader 8.1.1 and 806 Ghostscript built as shared library (Ghostscript bug #689577, 807 Ubuntu bug #172264). 808 809 2007-11-30 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 810 811 * foomatic-rip.in: More bug fixes: 812 o If the CUPS-style duples option 813 "-o sides={one|two}-sided[-{long|short}-edge]" was supplied, 814 the "Duplex" option could be set to "0", "LongEdge", or 815 "ShortEdge", which do not exist in the "Duplex" options in 816 PPD files (Thanks to Ricoh Japan for reporting this bug). 817 o Now all of "LongEdge", "DuplexNoTumble", or "ShortEdge", 818 "DuplexTumble", are converted to each other if supplied as 819 value to an enumerated choice option (usually "Duplex") and 820 this value is not in the list of choices. 821 o Removed the unused variable "$rangeend" from the 822 parsepageranges() function. 823 o Reset the best score for finding the narrowest page range 824 before treating each option, not only before the first 825 option. Now jobs with page overrides on more than one 826 option are executed correctly. 827 828 2007-11-23 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 829 830 * foomatic-rip.in: Several fixes for bugs found while developing 831 the foomatic-rip test suite for the LSB 3.2: 832 o If an option had the default value "0" (enumerated choice, 833 numerical, string) in the PPD file, the first choice from 834 the list was set as default and not "0". 835 o When assigning a non-integer number to an integer option, 836 the "%%BeginFeature: ..." line of the option inserted into 837 the PostScript data stream still contained the non-integer 838 value. Only the value in the code piece was converted to 839 integer. 840 o If a non-integer "*FoomaticRIPDefault..." was given for an 841 integer option it was not converted to integer. 842 o Boolean options had "0" and "1" as values in the 843 "%%BeginFeature: ..." lines and not "False" and "True". 844 o PPD-supplied JCL/PJL options did not get merged with 845 driver-generated JCL/PJL options when there were spaces 846 between the JCL command and the "=" (ex: "@PJL SET TRAY = 1"). 847 o Now all of "0", "No", "Off", "False" or "1", "Yes", "On", 848 "True" are converted to each other if supplied as value to 849 an enumerated choice option and this value is not in the 850 list of choices. 851 852 2007-10-11 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 853 854 * foomatic-rip.in: Allow the parameters of the "*Foomatic..." 855 lines which formerly had to be given without quotes also to be 856 given with double quotes. This is to support generation and 857 manipulation of Foomatic PPDs with the CUPS DDK. The PPD 858 generator of the CUPS DDK ("ppdc") can create these lines only 859 with quoted parameters (See http://www.cups.org/str.php?L2551). 860 861 2007-07-18 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 862 863 * foomatic-rip.in: Added support for suppressing page accounting 864 on a per-driver basis. Page accounting is deactivated if a line 865 "*FoomaticNoPageAccounting: True" is found in the PPD file. 866 867 2007-03-20 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 868 869 * foomatic-rip.in: Performance improvement: Do not match all forms 870 of DSC comments against every line. Check whether the line is a 871 DSC comment at all and pass it quickly through if not (Thanks to 872 Andreas Bolsch, Andreas dot Bolsch at alumni dot TU-Berlin dot 873 DE, for this patch). Will probably fix Ubuntu bug LP#78781 874 (https://launchpad.net/bugs/78781). 875 876 Fixed bug of custom page sizes not read from the PostScript code 877 when the size values are in more than one line (as the 878 "imagetops" CUPS filter outputs them when adapting a 879 user-supplied custom page size to the aspect ratio of the image, 880 to not waste roll paper). This fixes CUPS STR #1722 881 (http://www.cups.org/str.php?L1722), Ubuntu bug LP#42234 882 (https://launchpad.net/bugs/42234). 883 884 Let data structure get written to debug log also if foomatic-rip 885 exits with an error (only in debug mode). 886 887 2007-03-10 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 888 889 * foomatic-rip.in: Replaced sysread() and syswrite() by read() and 890 print() as sysread() and syswrite() is not compatible with the 891 read() and print() of the other operations. See Ubuntu bug #87597 892 (https://launchpad.net/bugs/87597). 893 894 2007-02-20 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 895 896 * foomatic-rip.in: Fixed problem of too high memory consumption 897 when binary output data of GhostScript is read line-wise and 898 does not contain line feeds (Ubuntu bug #85569 with driver 899 "eplaser", Red Hat bug #221194 with driver "lx5000"). Applied 900 same fix also to binary non-PostScript input data (only relevant 901 for non-CUPS printing systems). 902 903 * README, USAGE, foomatic-rip.in, foomatic-rip.1.in, beh.in, 904 foomatic-gswrapper.1.in, debian/copyright, debian/control, 905 debian/README.Debian: Replaced "linuxprinting.org" by 906 "openprinting.org" or "OpenPrinting". 907 908 2006-10-03 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com> 909 910 * foomatic-rip.in: Fixed bashism. 911 912 2006-08-27 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 913 914 * foomatic-gswrapper.in: Support for built-in redirection of 915 standard output of PostScript programs ("-sstdout=%stderr") in 916 newer GhostScript versions. More reliable then using /dev/fd/3 917 (not always available, difficult to check presence) or '|cat >3' 918 (not seekable and some GhostScript output devices require 919 seekability of the output file), 920 921 2006-07-10 Norm Jacobs <Norm.Jacobs@Sun.COM> 922 923 * *: Removed executable permissions from source files which are 924 not executables 925 926 2006-06-15 Norm Jacobs <Norm.Jacobs@Sun.COM> 927 928 * foomatic-rip.in: failing to open IPP attributes file shouldn't be 929 fatal 930 931 2006-06-01 Norm Jacobs <Norm.Jacobs@Sun.COM> 932 933 * filter.conf: example of a preferred shell setting 934 935 * foomatid-rip.in: detect and use a "modern" shell for shell commands 936 937 2006-05-17 Norm Jacobs <Norm.Jacobs@Sun.COM> 938 939 * foomatic-rip.in: Add support for Solaris LP, made default echo, 940 fileconverter, and execpath setable through configure options. 941 942 * foomatic-gswrapper.in: made default execpath setable through configure 943 options 944 945 * foomatic-rip-1.in: fixed to use @sysconfdir@ for configure 946 947 * foomatic-gswrapper-1.in: fixed to use @sysconfdir@ for configure 948 949 * configure.ac: made default execpath, fileconverter and echo setable 950 through configure options. Generate man pages through configure 951 952 * makeMan.in: removed, configure now generates the man pages 953 954 * Makefile.in: cleaned up some to work with makes other than gmake 955 956 * README, USAGE: added Solaris LP 957 958 2006-01-06 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 959 960 * beh.in: Fixed bug of N^2 copies being printed when N copies 961 were requested. 962 963 * configure.in, configure.ac: Renamed configure.in to 964 configure.ac, to make the package working with the current 965 versions of aclocal and autoconf. 966 967 2005-11-13 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 968 969 * README, USAGE, beh.in: Updated documentation, to take into 970 account beh and HPLIP, dropped HPOJ in the documentation. 971 972 2005-09-12 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 973 974 * foomatic-rip.in: Better support for non-PJL JCLs. If there are 975 Foomatic options of execution style JCL, they are only prefixed 976 with "@PJL " if the PPD does not contain a "*JCLBegin:" 977 expression not containing "PJL" and if the prefix is not 978 changed by a "*FoomaticJCLPrefix:" in the PPD file. If there 979 is a "*JCLBegin:" without "PJL" and no "*FoomaticJCLPrefix:" 980 the JCL commands do not get any prefix. Fixed also bug of 981 $jobuser and $jobhost not being chomped. 982 983 2005-08-15 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 984 985 * beh.in, configure.in, Makefile.in: Added the "beh" (Backend 986 Error Handler) CUPS backend. With this the handling of errors 987 of the CUPS backends (printer communication errors, like 988 printer not turned on) can be configured, instead of CUPS 989 simply disabling the print queue. 990 991 2005-07-29 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 992 993 * foomatic-rip.in: Added substitution of special XML entities by 994 job data, as date, time, job ID, user name, ... (in function 995 "unhtmlify()"). This was suggested by George Liu from Ricoh 996 (george dot liu at ussj dot ricoh dot com), to support jobs 997 with submission of login/password to the printer. 998 999 2005-07-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1000 1001 * foomatic-rip.in, foomatic-gswrapper.in: Fix for the fix on the 1002 regexp for reading the config file (Thanks to Hans-Dieter Kosch, 1003 hdkosch at t-online dot de, for this fix). 1004 1005 2005-07-18 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1006 1007 * foomatic-rip.in: In quiet mode (non-logging mode) $logh is 1008 closed in the beginning but was never opened (Thanks to 1009 Hans-Dieter Kosch, hdkosch at t-online dot de, for this fix). 1010 1011 * foomatic-gswrapper.in: Fixed quoting of single quotes (Thanks to 1012 Hans-Dieter Kosch, hdkosch at t-online dot de, for this fix). 1013 1014 * foomatic-rip.in, foomatic-gswrapper.in: Fixed regexp for reading 1015 the config file (Thanks to Hans-Dieter Kosch, hdkosch at 1016 t-online dot de, for this fix). 1017 1018 2005-05-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1019 1020 * foomatic-rip.in: Make EPSF files not be an exception when 1021 checking whether the input file is DSC-conforming. They can also 1022 be DSC-conforming (thanks to Kevin ODonovan, kevin dot odonovan 1023 at nist dot gov, for his report); Let the "FontPath" defined in 1024 /etc/cups/cupsd.conf being used when CUPS is the spooler 1025 (thanks to Peter Kekesi, kekpeti at freemail dot hu, for his 1026 report). 1027 1028 2005-05-11 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1029 1030 * foomatic-rip.in: Added comment before the line to automatically 1031 quote unquoted slashes in the allowed characters list or allowed 1032 regexp. 1033 1034 2004-12-20 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1035 1036 * foomatic-rip.in: Fixed bug of foomatic-rip replacing a JCL 1037 command (ex: "@PJL HOLDKEY=1234") if another which is contained 1038 in the first one is supplied (ex: "@PJL HOLD=STORE"). Thanks to 1039 Jociel Cavalcante Andrade (jcainfo at inf dot ufes dot br) for 1040 reporting the bug and testing the fix. 1041 1042 2004-12-04 Chris Lawrence <lawrencc@debian.org> 1043 1044 * foomatic-rip.in: Include -*- perl -*- for Emacs mode selection. 1045 1046 * foomatic-gswrapper.in: Instead of testing for /dev/fd/*, use 1047 them directly; this gets around some unreliability with 1048 Ghostscript prefiltering that is described in Debian bug report 1049 #271519 (http://bugs.debian.org/271519). Also include -*- perl 1050 -*- for Emacs mode selection. 1051 1052 * debian/README.Debian, debian/changelog, debian/compat, 1053 debian/control, debian/copyright, debian/dirs, debian/docs, 1054 debian/foomatic-filters.config, 1055 debian/foomatic-filters.postinst, 1056 debian/foomatic-filters.postrm, 1057 debian/foomatic-filters.templates, debian/parseconfig.pl, 1058 debian/po/POTFILES.in, debian/po/de.po, debian/po/fr.po, 1059 debian/po/ja.po, debian/po/nl.po, debian/po/pt_BR.po, 1060 debian/po/templates.pot, debian/po/tr.po, debian/rules: New 1061 files; add Debian packaging information. 1062 1063 2004-11-18 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1064 1065 * foomatic-rip.in: Fixed problem of foomatic-rip crashing with 1066 error 29 (ESPIPE = "Illegal seek") on "close STDIN;" on some 1067 non-Linux platforms as Unixware 7.1.0, fixed problem of CUPS 1068 page accounting PostScript code in foomatic-rip overriding 1069 already exisiting /EndPage procedures. Added output of error 1070 code when foomatic-rip dies. Thanks to Helge Blischke 1071 (h dot blischke at acm dot org) for all these fixes and 1072 enhancements. 1073 1074 2004-09-14 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1075 1076 * *: Tagged CVS for the release of foomatic-filters 3.0.2. 1077 Tag name: "foomatic-filters-3_0_2". 1078 1079 * README, USAGE: Updated for version 3.0.2. 1080 1081 2004-08-26 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1082 1083 * foomatic-rip.in: SECURITY FIX: foomatic-rip could execute 1084 arbitrary commands as user "lp" (or however the spooler's 1085 special user is named) on the print server. Advisory ID: 1086 CAN-2004-0801. 1087 1088 The fixes: 1089 1090 - Let unprintable characters be removed from all command line 1091 options and environment variables. 1092 1093 - Let shell escape characters be removed from file names, queue 1094 names, driver options, and some other input strings. 1095 1096 - Let "open" commands for file access always use "<" or ">" to 1097 specify reading or writing. 1098 1099 2004-06-15 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1100 1101 * foomatic-rip.in: Made workaround for OpenOffice.org 1.1.0 bug 1102 being applied to all OpenOffice.org 1.1.x versions (Thanks to 1103 Nigel Tamplin, nigel at metica dot com). 1104 1105 2004-03-28 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1106 1107 * USAGE, foomatic-rip.in: Replaced "GIMP-Print" by "Gimp-Print". 1108 1109 2004-03-26 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1110 1111 * foomatic-rip.in: Fixed building of PDQ driver description file. 1112 1113 2004-02-18 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1114 1115 * *: Tagged CVS for the release of foomatic-filters 3.0.1. 1116 Tag name: "foomatic-filters-3_0_1". 1117 1118 * README, USAGE: Updated for version 3.0.1. 1119 1120 2004-01-24 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1121 1122 * *: Tagged CVS for the release of foomatic-filters 3.0.1rc3. 1123 Tag name: "foomatic-filters-3_0_1rc3". 1124 1125 * README, USAGE: Updated for version 3.0.1rc3. 1126 1127 * configure.in: Removed the AC_OUTPUT() entry to create a Makefile 1128 in the tests directory. 1129 1130 2004-01-24 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1131 1132 * *: Tagged CVS for the release of foomatic-filters 3.0.1rc2. 1133 Tag name: "foomatic-filters-3_0_1rc2". 1134 1135 * README, USAGE: Updated for version 3.0.1rc2. 1136 1137 2004-01-23 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1138 1139 * Removed some more files which do not belong into the stable 1140 release. 1141 1142 * Makefile.in, configure.in, tests/*: Removed Patrick Powells 1143 "make test" facility, it did not work. 1144 1145 2004-01-21 Grant Taylor <gtaylor@linuxprinting.org> 1146 1147 * Secondary checkin, to remove/add files that changed between 1148 branches. 1149 1150 * Reverted snafu unstable code checkin introduced onto the stable 1151 3.0 branch on Jan 16, and present until Jan 21. 1152 1153 2003-12-21 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1154 1155 * Makefile.in: Fixed compatibility for non-bash systems: Used 1156 "VAR=VALUE; export VAR" instead of "export VAR=VALUE" (Thanks 1157 to Florian Diesch <diesch@spamfence.net>). 1158 1159 2003-12-01 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1160 1161 * configure.in, Makefile.in: Added fixes and improvements for 1162 NetBSD compatibility. Thanks to Bruce J.A. Nourish 1163 (bjan+foomatic-devel at bjan dot net) for this contribution. 1164 1165 2003-11-22 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1166 1167 * README, USAGE: Updated for version number 3.1.0. 1168 1169 * *: Tagged all files of the repository with "foomatic-3_0-bp", 1170 started stable branch "foomatic-3_0-branch". 1171 1172 2003-11-20 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1173 1174 * *: Tagged CVS for the release of foomatic-filters 3.0.1rc1. 1175 Tag name: "foomatic-filters-3_0_1rc1". 1176 1177 * README, USAGE: Updated for version 3.0.1rc1. 1178 1179 2003-11-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1180 1181 * foomatic-rip.in, filter.conf: Added support for CUPS raster 1182 drivers to foomatic-rip. Now CUPS raster drivers can be used 1183 with every spooler. 1184 1185 2003-10-24 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1186 1187 * foomatic-rip.in: Fixed bug of sometimes an extra blank page 1188 being printed after the job. 1189 1190 2003-10-21 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1191 1192 * configure.in: Added option "--disable-file-converter-check" to 1193 disable checking whether there is a file converter installed. 1194 1195 2003-10-20 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1196 1197 * configure.in: Added /usr/local/libexec to LIBSEARCHPATH for *BSD 1198 compatibilty. Thanks to Sebastian Horzela (sh at horzela dot 1199 com). 1200 1201 * configure.in: For CUPS a2ps, enscript, or mpage is not needed, 1202 here texttops of CUPS is used be default. So let ./configure 1203 also check for texttops. 1204 1205 * tests/Makefile.in: Continue testing when comparing the result of 1206 a test with the reference file fails, give only a warning in 1207 such a case. 1208 1209 2003-10-20 Patrick Powell <papowell@lprng.com> 1210 1211 * added 'use strict' and -w to the Perl options. 1212 1213 * fixed a large number of undefined or out of scope variable 1214 references discovered by the 'use strict' and -w. 1215 1216 * added 'use Cwd' to get current working directory 1217 1218 * Modified foomatic-rip to auto-sense the LPRng configuration. 1219 This eliminates the need for the --lprng option, unless you want 1220 to use it. You now set the ppd_file option in the printcap to 1221 specify the location of the PPD file: 1222 1223 lp:filter=/path/to/foomatic-rip 1224 :ppd_file=/path/to/ppdfile 1225 or 1226 lp:filter=/path/to/foomatic-rip --ppd=/path/to/ppdfile \ 1227 [options] 1228 or 1229 lp:filter=/path/to/foomatic-rip --lprng [options] \ 1230 /path/to/ppdfile 1231 (legacy documented foomatic method) 1232 1233 If you specify both, the command line overrides the :ppd_file 1234 New versions of the LPRng 'checkpc' program will check for the 1235 presence of the :ppd_file if it is specified. 1236 1237 * Modified fomatic-rip to be less 'verbose' and not put out blank 1238 lines when used with LPRng. Changed 'dieing' to 'dying' in 1239 error messages, as well as removing some typeos in other places. 1240 1241 * Modified the configure.in, Makefile.in, and makeMan.in scripts 1242 to use the current/latest autoconf conventions. Using 1243 ${INSTALL} to do installation and mkinstalldirs to create 1244 directories. Modified the configure script to NOT override the 1245 use of sysconfdir. You can now run the configure script from a 1246 subdirectory. This implies that your filter.conf file will now 1247 be installed in ${sysconfdir}/foomatic/filter.conf, not in 1248 /etc/foomatic/filter.conf. The other foomatic installation 1249 scripts should also be modified to follow this convention. 1250 1251 * The configure script now checks for at least one page converter 1252 (a2ps, enscript, mpage) and errors if one is not installed. 1253 1254 * modified the code for 'echo' to be compatible with the comments in 1255 foomatic-rip. The filter.conf file can now set the echo program. 1256 1257 2003-09-13 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1258 1259 * foomatic-rip.in: When option settings on the last page of a job 1260 changed and the last page was read completely into the FIFO 1261 before it was printed, the renderer was not restarted to take 1262 into account the option changes. 1263 1264 Added a new workaround for a new bug in the PostScript generated 1265 by OpenOffice.org 1.1.0. 1266 1267 2003-08-21 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1268 1269 * foomatic-rip.in: Fix on PostScript code insertion for nested 1270 1271 2003-08-14 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1272 1273 * foomatic-rip.in: Fixed checks for CPS printer spooler. 1274 1275 2003-08-01 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1276 1277 * foomatic-rip.in: Fixes on JCL header merging, support for nested 1278 composite options. 1279 1280 2003-07-30 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1281 1282 * foomatic-rip.in: If a printer/driver combo has Foomatic-defined 1283 JCL options and the driver already generates a JCL header, the 1284 JCL options are merged into the header produced by the driver. 1285 1286 2003-06-26 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1287 1288 * configure.in, makeMan.in, foomatic-rip.in: Support for IRIX. 1289 1290 * foomatic-rip.in: Updated comments. 1291 1292 2003-06-25 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1293 1294 * foomatic-rip.in: Let "echo" commands in the renderer command 1295 line being replaced by $myecho, so that printing on non-GNU 1296 systems with user-selected GNU "echo" command works. 1297 1298 2003-04-29 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1299 1300 * *: Tagged CVS for the release of foomatic-filters 3.0.0. 1301 Tag name: "foomatic-filters-3_0_0". 1302 1303 * README, USAGE: Updated for version 3.0.0. 1304 1305 * foomatic-rip.1.in: Updated linuxprinting.org link for 3.0.0. 1306 1307 2003-04-22 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1308 1309 * *: Tagged CVS for the release of foomatic-filters 3.0.0rc2. 1310 Tag name: "foomatic-filters-3_0_0rc2". 1311 1312 * README, USAGE: Updated for version 3.0.0rc2. 1313 1314 * foomatic-rip.1.in: Added missing substitutions for special 1315 characters in postpipe. 1316 1317 2003-04-21 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1318 1319 * foomatic-rip.in: added restriction for allowed strings by means 1320 of lists of allowed characters (PPD keyword: 1321 '*FoomaticRIPOptionAllowedChars <option>: "..."') and Perl 1322 regular expressions (PPD: '*FoomaticRIPOptionAllowedRegExp 1323 <option>: "..."'). The allowed characters are checked by a 1324 '/^[...]*$/' expression in the Perl scripts, so ranges with '-', 1325 forbidden characters with a leading '^', or special characters 1326 as '\w', '\d', '\x07', ... are allowed. Regular expressions are 1327 applied via a '/.../' expression. These restrictions are done 1328 for security reasons, to avoid for example a string like "|| rm 1329 -rf * ||" in a command line option. 1330 1331 The string 'None' is always mapped to the empty string, 1332 as PPD files and the command of some spoolers do not accept an 1333 empty string as argument value. 1334 1335 Several bug fixes done for the string options. 1336 1337 2003-04-13 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1338 1339 * *: Tagged CVS for the release of foomatic-filters 3.0.0rc1. 1340 Tag name: "foomatic-filters-3_0_0rc1". 1341 1342 * README, USAGE: Updated for version 3.0.0rc1. 1343 1344 2003-04-12 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1345 1346 * foomatic-rip.in: Introduced string and password options. 1347 1348 2003-04-07 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1349 1350 * foomatic-rip.in: Currently, the renderer is re-started whenever 1351 an arbitrary option is changed from one page to the next one. 1352 For PostScript options this is not really needed when one resets 1353 the PostScript state from before the beginning of the page. Done 1354 tests with saving the state before and restoring it after every 1355 page, but this did not work as the "showpage" cannot be bracketed 1356 by "(g)save"/"(g)restore". See Adobe's "PostScript Language 1357 Document Structuring Convention (DSC) Specification Version 3.0" 1358 (http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/technotes/postscript.html), 1359 section 4.3, "Use of showpage" (p. 26). Problem is that "showpage", 1360 "(g)save", and "(g)restore" are often in macros/subroutines, so 1361 they are not easily visible so that one can easily insert option 1362 settings or saving/restoring of the PostScript state at the correct 1363 place. So for now inserting saving/restoring lines is commented out 1364 in foomatic-rip and the renderer is restarted at every option 1365 change ("optionsequal(, , , 0)") and not only after changes of 1366 JCL or command line options ("optionsequal(, , , 1)"). 1367 1368 Fixed bug of Prolog and DocumentSetup sections created by 1369 foomatic-rip when first "%%Page: ..." is found not being added 1370 to the PostScript header data . 1371 1372 2003-04-06 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1373 1374 * foomatic-rip.in: Added support for applying options only to 1375 selected pages via the command line. Now options can be 1376 preceeded by a page specification: 1377 1378 CUPS, GNUlpr, CPS, no spooler: 1379 lpr -o 1:InputSlot=Letterhead 1380 lpr -o even:Watermark=on 1381 lpr -o 1,6-10,15,20-:MediaType=YellowPaper 1382 1383 LPRng: 1384 lpr -Z 1-2:MediaType=Cardboard 1385 1386 LPD: 1387 lpr -J "1,6-10,15,20-:MediaType=YellowPaper" 1388 1389 PPR (RIP): 1390 ppr --ripopts "1:InputSlot=Letterhead" 1391 1392 PPR (Interface) 1393 ppr -i "1:InputSlot=Letterhead" 1394 1395 The syntax is "even", "odd", or giving comma-separated page 1396 numbers or page ranges. Applying options to selected pages with 1397 PDQ is not supported. 1398 1399 2003-03-22 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1400 1401 * *: Tagged CVS for the release of foomatic-filters 3.0.0beta2. 1402 Tag name: "foomatic-filters-3_0_0beta2". 1403 1404 * README, USAGE, foomatic-rip.1.in: Updated for version 1405 3.0.0beta2. 1406 1407 2003-03-07 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1408 1409 * foomatic-rip.in: Workaround for bug in OpenOffice.org. 1410 OpenOffice.org puts "%%BeginSetup...%%EndSetup" section with 1411 option settings valid for the whole document after the first 1412 "%%Page:..." line. So without the workaround all settings made 1413 with the "Properties" button in the "File"|"Print" dialog 1414 applied only to the first page, the other pages were printed 1415 with the printer's default settings. Fixed also some typos. 1416 1417 2003-03-06 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1418 1419 * foomatic-rip.in: Fixed bug that unreadable/missing files are not 1420 removed from the list of files to be printed. 1421 1422 2003-03-05 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1423 1424 * foomatic-rip.in: Fixed bug of settings for composite options 1425 stuffed into the PostScript job data by applications (as 1426 OpenOffice.org) being ignored; added support for 1427 "FoomaticRIPDefault..." keywords in numerical options (see 1428 http://www.linuxprinting.org/pipermail/foomatic-devel/2003q1/001250.html). 1429 1430 2003-02-22 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1431 1432 * foomatic-rip.in: Introduced mode for the spooler CPS (Coherent 1433 Printing System). 1434 1435 2003-02-13 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1436 1437 * foomatic-rip.in: Fixed bug in reading a custom page size from 1438 the PostScript input file. 1439 1440 2003-02-03 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1441 1442 * *: Tagged CVS for the release of foomatic-filters 3.0.0beta1. 1443 Tag name: "foomatic-filters-3_0_0beta1". 1444 1445 * README, USAGE: Updated for version 3.0.0beta1. 1446 1447 * COPYING: Added file containing the GPL. 1448 1449 2002-12-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1450 1451 * *: Tagged CVS for the release of foomatic-filters 2.9.1. 1452 Tag name: "foomatic-filters-2_9_1". 1453 1454 * README, USAGE: Updated for version 2.9.1. 1455 1456 2002-12-09 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1457 1458 * foomatic-rip.in: Introduced support for composite options. 1459 1460 2002-12-08 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1461 1462 * foomatic-gswrapper.in: If there is no /dev/fd/3, don't use 1463 /dev/fd/3 for standard output. Use the good old "| cat >&3". 1464 1465 2002-12-04 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1466 1467 * *: Tagged CVS for the release of foomatic-filters 2.9.0. 1468 Tag name: "foomatic-filters-2_9_0". 1469 1470 2002-12-01 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1471 1472 * foomatic-gswrapper.in: If there is no /dev/fd/0, don't use 1473 /dev/fd/* for standard input, standard output, and standard 1474 error. Support of block reading from standard input ("-_" 1475 instead of "-" on GhostScript command line), use block 1476 reading preferrably. 1477 1478 * foomatic-rip.in: Made sure that an absolute path for the PPD 1479 file is inserted in the PDQ driver description file, suppress 1480 log output on standard error whenn generating a PDQ driver 1481 description file. 1482 1483 2002-11-29 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1484 1485 * *: Tagged CVS for the release of foomatic-filters 2.9.0pre1. 1486 Tag name: "foomatic-filters-2_9_0pre1". 1487 1488 2002-11-28 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1489 1490 * foomatic-rip.in: Fixed comment text. 1491 1492 * filter.conf: Updated comment text. 1493 1494 * USAGE: Fixed typo. 1495 1496 2002-11-27 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1497 1498 * Makefile.in, configure.in, makeMan.in: Updated Makefile 1499 infrastructure to let the package correctly build the man page 1500 and link foomatic-rip into the filter directories of CUPS and 1501 PPR. 1502 1503 * foomatic-rip.in: Allow more than one occurence of the same spot 1504 ("%A", "%B", ...) in the RIP command line prototype, so that one 1505 option setting can act on several points of the command line 1506 (was an old TODO point of Grant). 1507 1508 * foomatic-rip.1.in: Continued working on the man page for 1509 foomatic-rip. 1510 1511 * foomatic-gswrapper.in: Fall back to "| cat >&3" and "-" instead 1512 of "/dev/fd/3" and "/dev/fd/0", if the file descriptor directory 1513 /dev/fd does not exist. 1514 1515 * README, USAGE, TODO: Updated the package documentation. 1516 1517 2002-11-26 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1518 1519 * foomatic-rip.in: Added instructions for using a custom page size 1520 to the documentation page output ("-o docs") for the PPR RIP 1521 mode of foomatic-rip. 1522 1523 * src/*.in, src/Makefile, lpdomatic.8.in, directomatic.1.in: 1524 Removed the old spooler-specific filters, they are replaced 1525 by foomatic-rip now. 1526 1527 * Makefile.in, configure.in: Removed stuff to build the old 1528 src/*omatic filter. 1529 1530 * foomatic-rip.1.in: Added man page for foomatic-rip. 1531 1532 2002-11-25 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1533 1534 * foomatic-rip.in: Various fixes and adaptations to make 1535 foomatic-rip well working together with the new 1536 foomatic-configure: 1537 1538 Support for raw queues under all spoolers and spooler-less 1539 printing. 1540 1541 When foomatic-rip is used as a PPR RIP, it accepts also options 1542 through the new "--ripopts" option of the "ppr" command of PPR 1543 1.50 now. 1544 1545 Accept "-o <option>=<value>" on the command line also when one 1546 uses foomatic-rip as a PPR RIP, so one can easily set defaults 1547 using 1548 1549 ppad rip <printer> foomatic-rip x -o <option>=<value> -o <switch> 1550 1551 1552 Fixed bug which broke renderer command lines composed from 1553 several shell commands in debug mode. 1554 1555 Read Foomatic IDs from the PPD file. 1556 1557 Make default configuration file for spooler-less printing being 1558 /etc/foomatic/direct/.config and PPD files being searched in 1559 /etc/foomatic/direct. 1560 1561 In debug mode debug logging is started in the beginning of the 1562 parsing of the command line options, right after checking the 1563 options relevant for logging. 1564 1565 2002-11-16 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1566 1567 * foomatic-rip.in: Added legacy interface for old Foomatic 2.0 PPD 1568 files. Now foomatic-rip accepts all PPD files except the ones 1569 for native CUPS drivers. 1570 1571 Fixed output of sample command line in the help page generator, 1572 also do not display options with only one choice on the help 1573 page. 1574 1575 Do not range check numerical options when building the command 1576 line, we did it already when obtaining the option settings from 1577 the command line, the PPD file, and the job data. 1578 1579 2002-11-15 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1580 1581 * foomatic-rip.in: Now all spoolers, including PDQ, are supported 1582 and tested successfully. With foomatic-rip all spoolers can be 1583 used with PPD files now, either PPD files supplied by printer 1584 manufacturers for their PostScript printers or Foomatic (2.9.x) 1585 PPD files. 1586 1587 Added "buildpdqdriver()" function and "--genpdq"/"--appendpdq" 1588 command line options to build PDQ driver declaration files which 1589 call foomatic-rip for the dirty work and offer all options 1590 available in the PPD file to the PDQ user. They accept all file 1591 types, so PostScript and all, what the file conversion filter in 1592 use ("a2ps", "enscript", "mpage") understands, can be printed. 1593 1594 Setup of a printer under PDQ as follows: 1595 1596 cp foomatic-rip /usr/bin 1597 cp myprinter.ppd /etc/foomatic (or ~/.foomatic/) 1598 chmod 666 /dev/lp* (or /dev/usb/lp*) 1599 foomatic-rip -P myprinter \ 1600 --genpdq /usr/lib/pdq/drivers/misc/myprinter.pdq 1601 xpdq (set up the printer, right-click -> "Add Printer") 1602 1603 The first three lines are the same as for spooler-less printing. 1604 In The "foomatic-rip" line one can add options (with "-o") to 1605 change the defaults in the PDQ driver declaration file. 1606 1607 Improvements on documentation page generation: Support for "-o 1608 switch"/"-o noswitch" for boolean options. Minor text 1609 corrections. 1610 1611 2002-11-14 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1612 1613 * foomatic-rip.in: Now all spoolers (except PDQ) are tested 1614 successfully. 1615 1616 Added support for foomatic-rip running as a PPR 1617 RIP (PPR 1.5x), before it could only run as a PPR interface. To 1618 use it as a PPR RIP one sets up the print queue as follows: 1619 1620 ln -s foomatic-rip /usr/lib/ppr/lib/ 1621 ppad interface foo parallel /dev/lp0 1622 ppad ppd foo /path/to/foo.ppd 1623 ppad rip foo foomatic-rip other x 1624 1625 (the "x" in the end of the last line is needed to work around a 1626 bug.) 1627 1628 Use "PPR_VERSION" environment variable to auto-detect whether 1629 PPR is the spooler. 1630 1631 The parsing of the command line options did not work with the 1632 Getopt::Long Perl library when using LPRng as the spooler. The 1633 problem is that LPRng uses short options (one hyphen and one 1634 letter) and lets the argument follow without space 1635 ("-ZPageSize=A4"), on this Getopt::Long chokes. Replaced 1636 Getopt::Long by a self-made method to parse the options. 1637 1638 Prepared foomatic-rip for PDQ support. 1639 1640 Added comment about the supported spoolers. 1641 1642 2002-11-13 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1643 1644 * foomatic-rip.in: The basic functionality of foomatic-rip is now 1645 implemented, all features of the old "*omatic" filters are also 1646 available in foomatic-rip. 1647 1648 Now text and other non-PostScript files can be printed, 1649 foomatic-rip calles "a2ps", "enscript", or "mpage" automatically 1650 when it detects a non-PostScript file. 1651 1652 Improved command lines of "a2ps", "enscript", and "mpage" to 1653 generate wider margins (so that nothing gets cut off) and 1654 wrapping of too long lines (to not loose information). 1655 1656 The "docs" option lets a help page being printed, independent of 1657 the file originally sent. This works also with manufacturer- 1658 supplied PPD files of PostScript printers. CUPS prints the 1659 documentation page with its native "texttops" filter by default, 1660 but this can be changed to "a2ps", "enscript", or "mpage" with 1661 "textfilter" line in /etc/foomatic/filter.conf. 1662 1663 Custom page sizes work also on manufacturer-supplied PPD files 1664 now, 1665 1666 Fixed control of quiet, verbose, and debug mode from the command 1667 line ("-q", "-v", "--debug"). 1668 1669 foomatic-rip used without spooler does not have any console 1670 output any more (except error messages). Use the "-v" 1671 ("Verbose") for log output on the console and "--debug" for 1672 debug log files. 1673 1674 Debugging files are now /tmp/foomatic-rip.log (log file) and 1675 /tmp/foomatic-rip.ps (PostScript data pre-processed by 1676 foomatic-rip, as it is stuffed into the renderer). 1677 1678 When using CUPS as the spooler, lists of the command line 1679 options with which foomatic-rip was called are only written to 1680 the log when in debug mode, so that Mac OS X does not produce 1681 lines for the "error_log" of CUPS which have more than 1024 1682 characters, as this makes CUPS aborting the job. 1683 1684 Fixed PPR spooler auto-detection. Now foomatic-rip should 1685 work as a PPR interface as ppromatic. 1686 1687 Additional comments about non-PostScript and documentation 1688 printing and also about the kid processes of foomatic-rip 1689 and what they do. 1690 1691 Minor clean-ups. 1692 1693 2002-11-11 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1694 1695 * foomatic-rip.in: Now it should be possible not only to use the 1696 new (Perl-free, version 2.9.x) Foomatic PPD files with 1697 foomatic-rip, but also manufacturer-supplied PPD files of 1698 PostScript printers. This way one can use these PPD files with 1699 every spooler and also spooler-less. 1700 1701 The settings of "PageSize" and "PageRegion" are kept in sync 1702 now, so on does not need to take care whether "PageSize" or 1703 "PageRegion" is used to set the paper size. 1704 1705 The "*JCL..." keywords in PostScript files of PostScript 1706 printers are recognized, so the JCL options of the files are 1707 taken into account and the user can adjust them. 1708 1709 Remove "dossy" ("\r\n") line ends from the lines read from the 1710 PPD file, so also PPD files downloaded under Windows should be 1711 correctly parsed. 1712 1713 Bugfix: Allow trailing whitespace in "*OrderDependency" lines of 1714 the PPD file, for all other keywords trailing whitespace was 1715 already allowed. 1716 1717 Added more comments about the PostScript parsing, especially 1718 about stuffing in PostScript code from command line options 1719 and default settings. 1720 1721 Workaround for "dvips" bug that it misses inserting a 1722 "%%BeginProlog" comment. This will now be handled correctly. 1723 1724 Make sure that code for default and command line option settings 1725 get also inserted in the job when it has the DSC magic string 1726 ("%!PS-Adobe-..") but is not DSC-conforming in reality. 1727 1728 To be more general, use the expression "JCL" (Job Control 1729 Language) instead of "PJL" (Print Job Language) for variable 1730 names and comments. 1731 1732 Some minor clean-ups. 1733 1734 2002-11-10 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1735 1736 * foomatic-rip.in: Now it should be possible to print with all 1737 spoolers, but only PostScript, no plain text or help pages. 1738 1739 Added code to parse the command line options, 1740 now one can control jobs also by command line options and not 1741 only by stuffing settings into the PostScript file. 1742 1743 Insert code of PostScript options into the appropriate sections 1744 of the PostScript job. This is not done for CUPS as there the 1745 "pstops" filter does it already. 1746 1747 Correct option settings for numerical options which the "pstops" 1748 already inserts. "pstops" inserts the default setting when the 1749 user-supplied value is not one of the choices in the PPD file. 1750 Now foomatic-rip replaces the default value by the correct value 1751 from the command line (or from "/.lpoptions). 1752 1753 Inserted page accounting code for CUPS. 1754 1755 If an enumerated choice option has only one choice, set this one 1756 as the default choice. There was no default set before. 1757 1758 Support for postpipes (command line into which to stuff the 1759 output of the renderer). 1760 1761 2002-11-09 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1762 1763 * foomatic-rip.in: foomatic-rip is one filter to be used with 1764 all spoolers now (Currently CUPS works without accounting 1765 and spooler-less printing only to stdout and without 1766 inserting of command line options). 1767 1768 Completed spooler auto-detection and loading of queue and 1769 job information needed for executing the job. 1770 1771 Introduced loop to print more than one file per job (needed 1772 for spooler-less printing). 1773 1774 Parse definition of a postpipe (command into which output of 1775 renderer will be piped) in the PPD file, using the syntax 1776 '*FoomaticRIPPostPipe: "..."'. Use of the postpipe needs still 1777 to be implemented. The postpipe is needed for LPD/LPRng/GNUlpr 1778 and spooler-less printing. 1779 1780 2002-11-07 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1781 1782 * foomatic-rip.in: foomatic-rip works also as a CUPS filter, 1783 without any modifications and without wrapper. Accounting 1784 and help page is not supported yet. It is planned to also use 1785 it as filter for the other spoolers without wrapper (spooler 1786 auto-detection). 1787 1788 Made foomatic-rip also recognizing option 1789 settings embedded in PostScript files with "dossy" line ends 1790 ("\r\n"). 1791 1792 Made it more tolerant against not exactly DSC-conforming 1793 PostScript. as for example CUPS' "pstops" does not put page- 1794 specific option settings between "%%BeginPageSetup" and 1795 "%%EndPageSetup". 1796 1797 Handle the problem that there can be a "%%PS-Adobe" header, but 1798 the document is not DSC-conforming. Stop parsing when the next 1799 DSC section is not found after a certain amount of lines. 1800 1801 Parse also "%%BeginProlog", "%%EndProlog", "%%BeginSetup", 1802 "%%EndSetup", "%%BeginFeature", and "%%EndFeature" comments so 1803 that additional option settings can be inserted. 1804 1805 2002-11-06 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1806 1807 * src/*omatic.pl.in: Made filters also recognizing option settings 1808 embedded in PostScript files with "dossy" line ends ("\r\n"). 1809 1810 2002-11-03 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1811 1812 * foomatic-rip.in: "foomatic-rip", the filter to translate 1813 PostScript input to the printer's native language using printer 1814 capability info from a new Perl-free PPD file. It expects the 1815 name of the PPD file in the environment variable PPD or with the 1816 "-p" command line option and the PostScript on standard input, 1817 the job translated to the printer's native language appears as 1818 standard output. 1819 1820 The filter recognizes DSC-conforming PostScript documents and 1821 searches for inserted options settings at all allowed places 1822 without loading the whole document into memory. It handles also 1823 command line and PJL arguments given onely for certain pages, in 1824 this case the renderer (usually GhostScript) is restarted with a 1825 new command line and/or new prepended PJL. For 1826 non-DSC-conforming documents only settings in the beginning of 1827 the file are recognized. 1828 1829 * Makefile.in, configure.in: Taken into account the new 1830 "foomatic-rip" filter. 1831 1832 2002-10-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1833 1834 * src/*omatic.pl.in: Support for custom page sizes. A choice named 1835 "Custom" in the "PageSize" option is considered as custom page 1836 size. Its "<ev_driverval>" should contain a placeholder "%0" for 1837 the page width and "%1" for the page height (both in points). 1838 Alternatively the "<ev_driverval>" can contain two zeros ("0") 1839 from which the first will be replaced by the page width and the 1840 second by the page height. PPD files will get Adobe-complient 1841 for the custom page size support. So CUPS and the printing 1842 dialog of Mac OS X should have no problems with the custom paper 1843 size. Now custom paper sizes are available for all spoolers: 1844 1845 CUPS: lpr -P huge -o PageSize=Custom.500x750cm bigposter.ps 1846 LPRng: lpr -P huge -Z PageSize=Custom.500x750cm bigposter.ps 1847 GNUlpr: lpr -P huge -o PageSize=Custom.500x750cm bigposter.ps 1848 LPD: lpr -P huge -JPageSize=Custom.500x750cm bigposter.ps 1849 PPR: ppr -P huge -F "*PageSize Custom" -i 500x750cm bigposter.ps 1850 PDQ: pdq -P huge -oPageSize_Custom -aPageWidth=500 1851 -aPageHeight=750 -oPageSizeUnit_cm bigposter.ps 1852 No spooler: directomatic -P huge -o PageSize=Custom.500x750cm 1853 bigposter.ps 1854 1855 2002-10-10 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1856 1857 * *: Set revision number of all files to 3.0. 1858 1859 2002-10-09 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1860 1861 * README, USAGE: Updated documentation according to the splitted 1862 packages. 1863 1864 2002-10-08 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1865 1866 * *: Splitted Foomatic into four packages: 1867 1868 - foomatic-filters: Filter scripts used by the spoolers to 1869 convert the incoming PostScript data into the printer's 1870 native format using a printer/driver specific PPD file 1871 - foomatic-db-engine: Foomatic's database engine generates 1872 PPD files from the data in Foomatic's XML database. It also 1873 contains scripts to directly generate print queues and handle 1874 jobs. 1875 - foomatic-db: The collected knowledge about printers, drivers, 1876 and driver options in XML files, used by foomatic-db-engine 1877 to generate PPD files. 1878 - foomatic-db-hpijs: Foomatic XML data generator for HP's HPIJS 1879 driver. 1880 1881 This package is foomatic-filters. 1882 1883 * configure.in, Makefile.in: Removed all portions not needed for 1884 foomatic-filters. 1885 1886 * configure.in, Makefile.in, makeMan.in, lpdomatic.8.in, 1887 directomatic.1.in: Made insertion of paths in man pages working 1888 without Defaults.pm. 1889 1890 * configure.in: Fixed check to set /etc instead of /usr/local/etc 1891 as $sysconfdir. 1892 1893 * mfomatic.in: This file was not maintained for long time and 1894 noone asked for it, removed. 1895 1896 2002-10-07 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 1897 1898 * data-generators/hpijs/hpijs-printermap, 1899 db/source/printer/HP-Business_Inkjet_3000.xml: The HP Business 1900 Inkjet 3000 does not work with the HPIJS driver. 1901 1902 * db/source/printer/122496.xml, 1903 db/source/printer/HP-DesignJet_750.xml: Removed hint that IJS 1904 driver has problem with large paper sizes.

David Suffield, developer of 2421 "hpijs" at HP told that they work with that driver. 2422 2423 * db/source/driver/*: Corrected URLs of the drivers which come with 2424 GhostScript (GNU GhostScript 7.05 instead of 6.51). 2425 2426 2002-05-23 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 2427 2428 * db/source/printer/*: Fixed URLs in several printer entries 2429 (added missing "http://"). 2430 2431 2002-05-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 2432 2433 * README, USAGE: Added information that make_configure needs libxml 2434 2.x.Fixed some typos. 2435 2436 * foomatic-fix-xml.in: Fixed initial comment. 2437 2438 2002-05-18 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 2439 2440 * data-generators/hpijs/*, db/source/*/hpijs*, Makefile.in: Included 2441 generator script for HPIJS in the Foomatic package, the 2442 appropriate entries are generated during the build process now. 2443 2444 * Makefile.in: Added "uninstall" targets. 2445 2446 2002-05-16 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 2447 2448 * db/source/printer/Lexmark-Z13.xml: Added the Lexmark Z13 to the 2449 printer database. 2450 2451 * db/source/*/*: Fixed HPIJS data for the HP DeskJet 825C/845C: they 2452 do grayscale with the black cartridge and not with the color 2453 cartridge. 2454 2455 2002-05-15 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 2456 2457 * foomatic-preferred-driver.in: Updated driver priority list to 2458 give higher priority to the old HP LaserJet/PCL drivers coming 2459 with GhostScript than to Gimp-Print. The old drivers work better 2460 on laser printers. 2461 2462 * db/source/printer/*: Use the old GhostScript driers ("ljet4", 2463 "laserjet", ...) instead of "gimp-print-ijs" as recommended 2464 driver for laser printers. 2465 2466 2002-05-11 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 2467 2468 * foomatic-preferred-driver.in: Updated driver priority list. 2469 2470 * db/source/printer/*: Use "gimp-print-ijs" as recommended driver 2471 where "gimp-print" was the recommended driver before. 2472 2473 * db/source/driver/lm1100.xml: Added hint how to compile it with 2474 gcc 3.1 to the description text. 2475 2476 2002-05-10 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 2477 2478 * db/source/driver/hpijs.xml: Corrected version number in "hpijs" 2479 driver entry to be 1.1. 2480 2481 2002-05-09 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 2482 2483 * db/source/*/*: Added HP Business Inkjet 2230 and 2280 printers. 2484 2485 * db/source/*/*: Updated HPIJS driver entries to version 1.1. 2486 2487 * db/source/printer/HP-PhotoSmart_P100.xml: Raised the HP PhotoSmart 2488 P100 to "Perfectly". 2489 2490 2002-05-07 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 2491 2492 * db/source/*/*: Added the printer models HP OfficeJet, OfficeJet 2493 LX, OfficeJet 300, 330, 350, PhotoSmart. Updated driver entries 2494 "pcl3", "hpdj", and "djet500" appropriately. 2495 2496 * db/source/printer/*: small corrections on the HP DeskJet 520, 2497 560C, Olivetti JP450, DEC DECwriter 110i. 2498 2499 2002-05-05 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 2500 2501 * lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Let paper size also be read from 2502 "-dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=..."/"-dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=...", needed for 2503 "gimp-print-ijs" and "hpijs" drivers. 2504 2505 2002-04-22 Manfred Wassmann <manolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de> 2506 2507 * foomatic-perl-data.1.in: Created basic manpage for 2508 foomatic-perl-data. 2509 2510 2002-04-18 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 2511 2512 * lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Added some more paper sizes to the 2513 "getpapersize()" function, according to DeviceForm.cpp on the OMNI 2514 CVS. 2515 2516 2002-04-17 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 2517 2518 * db/source/*/*: Corrected "hpijs" entry for the HP 2500C/2500CN, 2519 they belong to the "DJ9xxVIP" group (as the HP DeskJet 990C), so 2520 they work perfectly with "hpijs". Replaced model string "HP 2521 BUSINESS INKJET 2250" by "DESKJET 990", the former string is 2522 not recognized by "hpijs" (in contrary to the driver's 2523 documentation). 2524 2525 * db/source/*/*: Added the Sony IJP-V100 multi-function device. 2526 2527 * lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Added '*PSVersion: "(3010.000) 653"' entry 2528 for GhostScript 6.53 to the PPD files. In the "getpapersize()" 2529 function let the ISO B sizes be returned, when the paper size 2530 name is only "Bx" without "JIS" or "ISO". This is also the 2531 default of GhostScript. 2532 2533 * Makefile.in: Fixed bug of database going to 2534 /usr/local/share/share/foomatic. 2535 2536 * foomatic-configure.in: Made "foomatic-configure -Q -q -r" 2537 working correctly with CUPS 1.1.14. 2538 2539 * Makefile.in, makeDefaults.in, configure.in, lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: 2540 Eliminated dependency on the "libwww-perl" Perl library, used 2541 command line tools "wget" or "curl" instead. Now Foomatic should 2542 work only with standard Perl libraries as being part of Perl 2543 itself. 2544 2545 * USAGE, README: Added the requirement of one of the tools "wget" 2546 and "curl". 2547 2548 * db/source/driver/gdi.xml: Updates URLs. 2549 2550 2002-04-16 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 2551 2552 * db/source/*/*: Added HP 2000C/2500C/2500CM to the "hpijs" 2553 driver, Removed 1200-dpi hires mode from HP Business Inkjet 22xx 2554 models. 2555 2556 * db/source/*/*: Added HP Business Inkjet 2600 2557 2558 * db/source/*/*: Text corrections on HP Business Inkjet 22xx 2559 printers. 2560 2561 * foomatic-kitload.in: Let existing files not being overwritten 2562 unless the "-f" ("force") switch is used, improved screen 2563 output, "CVS" subdirectories in the kit get ignored. 2564 2565 * lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: In the "getexecdocs()" function apply the 2566 "htmlify()" to all strings which are shown on the web page. 2567 Added paper sizes for the "omni" driver to the 2568 "getpapersizes()" function. 2569 2570 2002-04-15 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 2571 2572 * USAGE: Improvements on the installation instructions. 2573 2574 * make_configure: Added a workaround for a bug in the autoconf 2575 macros of libxml2. 2576 2577 * db/source/*/*: Fixed entries for the HP 2000C/2500C/2500CM 2578 printers. 2579 2580 2002-04-14 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 2581 2582 * configure.in, acinclude.m4, Makefile.in, Makefile, install-sh, 2583 make_configure, makeMan.in, makeMan, makeDefaults.in, 2584 makeDefaults, foomatic-addpjloptions.in, foomatic-addpjloptions, 2585 foomatic-cleanupdrivers.in, foomatic-cleanupdrivers, 2586 foomatic-compiledb.in, foomatic-compiledb, 2587 foomatic-configure.in, foomatic-configure, foomatic-datafile.in, 2588 foomatic-datafile, foomatic-fix-xml.in, foomatic-fix-xml, 2589 foomatic-getpjloptions.in, foomatic-getpjloptions, 2590 foomatic-gswrapper.in, foomatic-gswrapper, foomatic-kitload.in, 2591 foomatic-kitload, foomatic-ppdload.in, foomatic-ppdload, 2592 foomatic-preferred-driver.in, foomatic-preferred-driver, 2593 foomatic-printjob.in, foomatic-printjob, mfomatic.in, mfomatic, 2594 README, USAGE, src/cupsomatic.pl.in, src/cupsomatic.pl, 2595 src/directomatic.pl.in, src/directomatic.pl, 2596 src/lpdomatic.pl.in, src/lpdomatic.pl, src/ppromatic.pl.in, 2597 src/ppromatic.pl: Introduced a GNU-autoconf-generated "configure" 2598 script, now one can easily install Foomatic with the well-known 2599 "./configure; make; make install". 2600 2601 2002-04-12 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 2602 2603 * foomatic-ppdload: Switched foomatic-ppdload to the new 2604 Perl-XML/Grove-free DB.pm. 2605 2606 * foomatic-ppdload, foomatic-ppdload.8.in: Added "-R" option to 2607 remove a printer from the "ppd" driver. 2608 2609 * README: Removed paragraph that foomatic-ppdload needs the old 2610 Perl-XML/Grove DB.pm. 2611 2612 * lib/Foomatic/PPD.pm: Let the "PageRegion" option in the PPD file 2613 being skipped when creating Foomatic XML data. It is te same 2614 option as "PageSize". 2615 2616 * db/source/driver/Postscript.xml: Corrected HTML tags. 2617 2618 2002-04-10 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 2619 2620 * foomatic-perl-data.c: Added reading of auto-detection data also 2621 for the USB and SNMP connection types. Added support for returning 2622 commants and texts in other languages the english ("-l <language>" 2623 command line option). 2624 2625 * db/source/printer/HP-PSC_750.xml: Added USB auto-detection info. 2626 2627 2002-04-09 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 2628 2629 * lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Made the "sortargs()" and "sortvals()" 2630 functions working with Perl 5.0x. The "sort()" function of these 2631 old Perl versions only supports the two items to compare being 2632 given to the copmaring function via the global variables "$a" 2633 and "$b", and not via "@_". linuxprinting.org runs Perl 5.005. 2634 Made also the choices for the options better sorted, especially 2635 Letter/A4 paper sizes in the beginning of the list, resolutions 2636 and "Upper"/"Middle"/"Lower" trays correctly sorted, "Default" 2637 in the beginning of the lists. 2638 2639 2002-04-08 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 2640 2641 * foomatic-perl-data.c: New C program to parse the XML code to 2642 generate Perl data structures from it. Uses libxml (libxml 2.x 2643 recommended because otherwise XML files beginning with a blank 2644 line cannot be read). 2645 2646 * lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Removed disk cache and XML/Grove Perl 2647 library usage completely, all XML handling is done by C code 2648 now. Added paper sizes of the Dymo-CoStar/Avery label printers 2649 to the "getpapersize()" function, now the "ImageableArea" and 2650 "PaperDimension" entries in the PPD files are built correctly 2651 for these printers. Added possibility to output a combo XML file 2652 with the option default settings set to the values of the queue 2653 currently worked on. 2654 2655 * lib/Foomatic/DB_perl_xml.pm: Stored old XML/Grove/disk cache 2656 version of the Foomatic database library. Added documentation 2657 for this file as comments in its beginning. 2658 2659 * foomatic-configure, foomatic-printjob: Removed "grove-pathval" 2660 expression from "use Foomatic::DB.pm" line. 2661 2662 * foomatic-configure: When a printer queue is set up or modified, 2663 the option default settings are also set in the 2664 /etc/foomatic/<queue>.xml.gz printer/driver combo XML file. So 2665 frontends can also read the option settings from the XML file. 2666 2667 * foomatic-ppdload: Re-linked to old lib/Foomatic/DB_perl_xml.pm, 2668 Perl-XML/Grove-free version not implemented yet. 2669 2670 * foomatic-compiledb, foomatic-compiledb.8.in, 2671 foomatic-compiledb.1.in: In the cache-less time this has a new 2672 purpose: It generates data files for a chosen spooler (or combo 2673 XML files) and for either selected or all drivers. Moved man 2674 page to section 1, foomatic-compiledb works from a normal user 2675 account now (due to the removed cache). 2676 2677 * foomatic-datafile.8.in, foomatic-datafile.1.in: Moved man 2678 page to section 1, foomatic-datafile works from a normal user 2679 account now (due to the removed cache). 2680 2681 * foomatic-fix-xml: Remove leading blank lines from the XML files 2682 in the local Foomatic database. The leading blank lines make the 2683 XML files not readable by libxml 1.x. 2684 2685 * Makefile: Added compilation and installation of 2686 foomatic-perl-data.c. 2687 2688 * Makefile, makeDefault: Commented out all cache-related stuff. 2689 2690 * Makefile: Moved foomatic-datafile and foomatic-compiledb from 2691 /usr/sbin to /usr/bin. 2692 2693 * README, USAGE: Foomatic version 1.9 (Foomatic without 2694 Perl-XML/Grove and without disk cache). 2695 2696 * db/source/*/*: Replaced all occurences of a cross character 2697 (used in resolutions as "600x300 dpi") by an "x" (the letter 2698 "X"). libxml chokes on the cross. Removed leading blank lines 2699 from the XML files, because this breaks libxml 1.x. 2700 2701 2002-04-03 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 2702 2703 * lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Added new paper sizes of Gimp-Print to the 2704 paper size table of the "getpapersize" function, fixed a bug of 2705 wrong calculation of "wXXXhYYY" and "XXXxYYY" paper sizes in the 2706 same function. 2707 2708 2002-03-29 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 2709 2710 * src/ppromatic.pl: Made ppromatic also working in non-english 2711 configurations. 2712 2713 2002-03-28 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 2714 2715 * db/source/printer/HP-LaserJet_12?0.xml: New user report 2716 for the LaserJet 1200/1220. 2717 2718 * db/source/*/*: Added new Kyocera models: FS-1000+, FS-1010, 2719 FS-1800, FS-1900, FS-3800, FS-9100DN, FS-9500-DN. 2720 2721 * db/source/driver/stp.xml: Added warning that this file is only 2722 for Gimp-Print 4.0.x. 2723 2724 2002-03-27 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 2725 2726 * foomatic-combo-xml.c: Added possibility to modify the default 2727 option settings in the generated XML ("-o" command line option 2728 for foomatic-combo-xml). 2729 2730 2002-03-26 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 2731 2732 * db/source/printer/153056.xml: Updated text of the HP DeskJet 2733 340C according to a new user report. 2734 2735 * db/source/*/*: Added Lexmark Z83 multi-function device. 2736 2737 2002-03-24 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 2738 2739 * db/source/printer/HP-LaserJet_12?0.xml: LaserJet 1200/1220 is 2740 very slow in graphics, added user report. 2741 2742 2002-03-21 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 2743 2744 * db/source/printer/*: Updated text of all HP printers and 2745 multi-function devices which need HPOJ or the modified printer.c 2746 kernel module to be able to print via USB. 2747 2748 * db/source/printer/*: Updated text of the HP PhotoSmart 1[012]xx 2749 printers because they need the modified USB printer.c kernel 2750 module from the HPOJ website to work together with HPOJ. 2751 2752 * db/source/*/*: Added the Okidata OL400e, HP OfficeJet D125, and 2753 HP LaserJet 3310 MFP and updated the driver data appropriately. 2754 2755 * db/source/*/*: Removed spaces from the names of the Okidata 2756 OLxxx models, so that they get correctly sorted in the printer 2757 listings. Modified option entries appropriately. 2758 2759 2002-03-20 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 2760 2761 * db/source/printer/*: Updated text of many HP and Apollo printers 2762 and moved many of them from "Mostly" to "Perfectly". 2763 2764 * db/source/printer/*: Updated text of HP OfficeJet G and K series 2765 because they need HPOJ also when one only wants to print via 2766 USB. 2767 2768 * db/source/*/*: Added the Apollo P-1220 Barbie, P1250, P2250, 2769 P-2550, and P-2650.

Modified printer entries appropriate to the new 2775 features ("hpijs" also recommended on large format printers, 2776 DeskJet 990 and compatibles work "Perfectly"). 2777 2778 2002-03-18 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 2779 2780 * db/source/printer/*: Modified text of HP LaserJet 1200, USB 2781 printing only works with HPOJ. 2782 2783 2002-03-17 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 2784 2785 * foomatic-combo-xml.c: Introduced two debug output levels ("-v", 2786 "-vv"). Now I do not need a special debug version any more. 2787 2788 2002-03-17 Manfred Wassmann <manolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de> 2789 2790 * makeDefaults: Added flag $DEBUG to enable debug messages from 2791 Perl modules. It is not exported by default, you can import it 2792 by adding qw(:DEFAULT $DEBUG) to the "use Foomatic::Defaults" 2793 clause. 2794 2795 * lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Cache is disabled if CACHEDIR is set to an 2796 empty string at compile time, ie.

In 2941 "testing_clean" target added "-f" to the "rm" command for the 2942 links to the cache so that make does not stop with an error when 2943 the links are not there. 2944 2945 2002-02-04 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 2946 2947 * Makefile, src/*omatic, filter.conf: Modified Foomatic to only 2948 make the filter scripts out of the source files in src/. Fixed 2949 bugs on filter script source files: "enscript -b <title>", not 2950 "enscript -b=<title>"; empty title gave a line on the top of the 2951 page when using "mpage".

This fixed a problem with the "Color Mode" option of 3010 the "pcl3" driver. 3011 3012 2002-01-28 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3013 3014 * db/source/*/*: Added the HP LaserJet 3P with PCL5 extension. 3015 3016 2002-01-27 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3017 3018 * USAGE: Minor text modifications for XPP 1.1. 3019 3020 * db/source/*/*: Renamed the database entry for the Canon LIPS-II+ 3021 from "Canon-LIPS-II+" to "Canon-LIPS-IIplus". With the "+" in its 3022 ID the printer entry was not accessible on the linuxprinting.org 3023 web site. 3024 3025 2002-01-24 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3026 3027 * foomatic-gswrapper: Replaced "-sOutputFile=|cat>&3" by 3028 "-sOutputFile=/dev/fd/3" to make foomatic-gswrapper working with 3029 all versions of GhostScript, of the shell, and of Unix. 3030 3031 2002-01-24 Manfred Wassmann <manolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de> 3032 3033 * foomatic-configure.1.in: Corrected manpage section in header. 3034 * foomatic-kitload.8.in: Filled some gaps. 3035 * lpdomatic.8.in: Describe how to print the docs. 3036 * src/lpdomatic.pl: PJL patch from Tim Waugh.

Syntax is tag\s*:\s*value. 3087 Added tabulator/indentation settings for emacs. 3088 3089 2002-01-18 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3090 3091 * db/source/printer/Epson-AcuLaser_C1000.xml: Added the Epson 3092 AcuLaser C1000 (Paperweight). 3093 3094 * db/source/*/*: Applied a patch by Tim Waugh (twaugh at redhat 3095 dot com) which makes the Perl one-liners for paper tray 3096 selection on PCL laser printers working on both Perl 5.6.0 and 3097 5.6.1. The one-liners are in the GhostScript command lines of 3098 the drivers entries for the PCL laser drivers ("lj5gray", 3099 "ljet4", ...). 3100 3101 * db/source/printer/*: Updated text of the Epson EPL-5900/5900PS 3102 because of a bug in Epson's driver. 3103 3104 2002-01-17 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3105 3106 * db/source/printer/*: Added new Epson laser printer models: 3107 EPL-5900, EPL-N2120. 3108 3109 * db/source/*/*: Added new driver entries "epl2120" and "epl5900" 3110 for Epson-Kowa laser driver 1.0.4. 3111 3112 2002-01-16 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3113 3114 * cupsomatic, lpdomatic, ppromatic, directomatic: Auto-detection 3115 of file converters a2ps, enscript, mpage, usage of the printer's 3116 paper size setting for conversion to PostScript, with a2ps the 3117 possibility to print also PDF, images, etc with LPD/LPRng and 3118 with directomatic (CUPS and PPR do this by themselves, they use 3119 the converter only for the docs pages). 3120 3121 * foomatic-configure: Fixed bug of "-Q" with PPR not working for 3122 non-root users. CUPS queues are automatically set up with 3123 PPD-O-Matic PPD files now (use "--oldppd" to get CUPS-O-Matic 3124 PPD files), for PPD the PPD file is not stored twice any more, a 3125 symbolic link is set instead. 3126 3127 * README, ChangeLog, foomatic-configure.1.in: Updated documentation 3128 to take into account the new "--oldppd" option. 3129 3130 * db/source/*/*: HP removed the "HP only" clause from the license 3131 of HPIJS, so HPIJS is free now. 3132 3133 2002-01-15 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3134 3135 * lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Fixed some incompatibilities in the PDQ file 3136 generator which prevented HPIJS 1.0 from working with PDQ. 3137 3138 2002-01-14 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3139 3140 * foomatic-configure: Fixed bug of foomatic-configure stopping on 3141 directomatic printer configuration when there is no directomatic 3142 config file. 3143 3144 2002-01-13 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3145 3146 * cupsomatic/ppromatic: The PPD default values of float options were 3147 not read correctly, fixed. 3148 3149 2002-01-12 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3150 3151 * db/source/*/*: Added HP e-printer e20 to HPIJS 1.0 datafiles. 3152 3153 * db/source/printers/*: Removed "Unverified" flags and cleaned up 3154 text in many datafiles of HP inkjet printers. 3155 3156 * foomatic-preferred-driver: Only set new default driver when the 3157 current one is not OK. 3158 3159 * foomatic-configure: Insert ":ppdfile=<PPD file name>:\" lines 3160 into /etc/printcap (for LPD/GNUlpr/LPRng), so that the graphical 3161 printing frontend GPR finds the PPD-O-Matic PPD files 3162 automatically. 3163 3164 2002-01-11 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3165 3166 * db/source/*/*: Added "bjc250gs" driver and Canon BJC-250ex 3167 printer. 3168 3169 2002-01-10 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3170 3171 * foomatic-gswrapper: Replaced "-sOutputFile=|cat >&3" by 3172 "-sOutputFile=|cat>&3" because the second one also works when 3173 "gs" is a wrapper script around the real GhostScript binary. 3174 3175 2002-01-09 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3176 3177 * cupsomatic: Numerical options given on the command line were 3178 ignored when using a PPD-O-Matic PPD file for the CUPS queue. 3179 Fixed. 3180 3181 2002-01-08 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3182 3183 * Makefile, makeDefaults, lpdomatic.8.in: Moved lpdomatic back to 3184 /usr/sbin. 3185 3186 2002-01-06 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3187 3188 * foomatic-configure: Added support for direct, spooler-less 3189 printing with directomatic, added auto-detection of PPR. 3190 3191 * directomatic: Added support for having a default printer. 3192 3193 * foomatic-datafile: Added "lprng" as possible datafile type (gives 3194 the same result as "lpd"). 3195 3196 * foomatic-configure.1.in: Completed the list of possible options, 3197 corrected "-D" options ("Default", not "Delete"). 3198 3199 * foomatic-printjob.1.in: Corrected command line for printing. 3200 3201 * README, USAGE: Updated to take into account all recent changes. 3202 3203 2002-01-06 Manfred Wassmann <manolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de> 3204 3205 * foomatic-configure: Bails out if it encounters a lprng style 3206 printcap, like those created by lprngtool, as it would hose it 3207 otherwise. This needs a better solution. 3208 * foomatic-configure.1.in: Added description of the above problem. 3209 * debian/control: The conflict with the cupsomatic-ppd package is 3210 indicated. 3211 3212 2002-01-05 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3213 3214 * Makefile, makeDefaults: Added definitions for PPR and for 3215 spooler-less printing. 3216 3217 * db/source/driver/Postscript.xml: Updated the text to also 3218 mention that PPD files can be used also with the PPR spooler or 3219 the GPR printing frontend. 3220 3221 2002-01-04 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3222 3223 * ppromatic: Made ppromatic stuffing the PostScript code of all 3224 PostScript options into the job, in contrary to CUPS PPR only 3225 stuffs in the code of options explicitly given on the command 3226 line or in the "Switchset". 3227 3228 * foomatic-configure: Added PPR support. 3229 3230 2002-01-03 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3231 3232 * ppromatic: Made it possible to have PPD files in other 3233 directories than /usr/share/ppr/PPDFiles, let ppromatic eat up 3234 data on STDIN to make documentation printing ("-i docs") working 3235 correctly. When original job is not completely read, PPR does 3236 not dequeue the print job and stops the printer because it 3237 assumes that the job was not correctly printed. 3238 3239 2002-01-02 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3240 3241 * db/source/*/*: Added Compaq IJ1200 (Z42 clone), assigned Lexmark 3242 5700 drivers to Compaq IJ900 (5700 clone).

Printer ID set into single quotes in the 3321 "foomatic-combo-xml" command line, to not break with the new 3322 clear text printer IDs (Thanks to Crutcher Dunnavant, 3323 crutcher@redhat.com for his suggestions). 3324 3325 * Makefile: Let "make install" also install the man pages. 3326 3327 2001-12-13 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3328 3329 * directomatic: Possibility to use a printer definition file in 3330 ~/.foomatic/direct/ or in the current directory. 3331 3332 * Makefile, makeDefaults: Added /etc/ppr directory, fixed typo. 3333 3334 2001-12-12 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3335 3336 * db/source/printer/*: Set links for the new location of the 3337 "Lexmark Foomatic Kit" in the comments of the database entries 3338 for the Lexmark Z22, Z23, Z32, Z33, Z52, Z53. 3339 3340 2001-12-11 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3341 3342 * lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Made the "PaperDimension", "ImageableArea", 3343 and "PageRegion" entries in CUPS and generic PPD files working 3344 if the "PageSize" option is not the standard PostScript option, 3345 but a command line option or something else (as in the 3346 "ppmtocpva" or in the "pentaxpj" drivers. 3347 3348 * db/source/opt/2.xml, db/source/driver/c2050.xml: Drivers 3349 "c2050", "cZ11", and "cZ11somsom" had no "PageSize" option, 3350 fixed. 3351 3352 2001-12-11 Manfred Wassmann <manolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de> 3353 3354 * directomatic.1.in manpage added. 3355 3356 * debian/: Bugfixes in the Debian specific files. 3357 3358 2001-12-10 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3359 3360 * db/source/*/*: Updated home page address and comment of the 3361 "lm1100" driver and added a "Brightness" option to that driver 3362 and replaced the "Monochrome" option by "Ink Type". 3363 3364 * db/source/drivers/lpstyl.xml: Re-hosted "lpstyl" driver on 3365 linuxprinting,org, original home page is dead. Modified the 3366 comments in the database entry file appropriately. 3367 3368 * db/source/drivers/gdi.xml: Added filter for MagicFilter users to 3369 easily integrate this driver.

Modified the comments in the database entry 3378 files appropriately. 3379 3380 * db/source/opt/cZ11somsom-*: Set default values of the ink 3381 densities to 50 instead of 100. 3382 3383 * db/source/driver/cZ11somsom.xml: Corrected command line to make 3384 printing with the black cartridge working. 3385 3386 * db/source/printer/89152.xml: Comments cleaned up for Canon 3387 BJC-2000. 3388 3389 * db/source/printer/Canon-BJC-2010.xml: New printer entry: Canon 3390 BJC-2010. 3391 3392 * db/source/driver/bjc600.xml, db/source/opt/6.xml: Added Canon 3393 BJC-2010 to the "bjc600" driver. 3394 3395 * db/source/printer/Canon-BJ-100.xml: New printer entry: Canon 3396 BJ-100. 3397 3398 * db/source/driver/bj200.xml: Added Canon BJ-100 to the "bj200" 3399 driver. 3400 3401 * db/source/printer/123584.xml: Added comments about the problems 3402 with the Xerox DocuPrint XJ8C. 3403 3404 * db/source/printer/Pentax-PocketJet*: Added the ultra-portable 3405 printers from Pentax. 3406 3407 * db/source/*/pentaxpj*: Added "pentaxpj" driver for the 3408 ultra-portable Pentax PocketJet printers. 3409 3410 2001-12-09 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3411 3412 * cupsomatic: Added support for the accounting facility of CUPS. 3413 Only works with $debug = 0 and when GhostScript is rendering 3414 the PostScript. 3415 3416 * foomatic-ppdload, lib/Foomatic/PPD.pm: "new PPD" and "new 3417 UIElem" replaced by "new Foomatic::PPD" and "new 3418 Foomatic::UIElem", otherwise the "new" methods will not be found 3419 in the respective libraries. 3420 3421 * db/source/printer/Lexmark-Z43.xml: Updated the comments. 3422 3423 2001-12-07 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3424 3425 * directomatic: New filter for spooler-less printing. See in the 3426 comments in the beginning how to use it. 3427 3428 * Makefile: Added definitions for PPR, added directomatic 3429 and ppromatic to be installed 3430 3431 * makeDefaults: Added definitions for PPR, moved lpdomatic to 3432 /usr/bin 3433 3434 * lpdomatic.1.in: lpdomatic in /usr/bin => "man 1 lpdomatic" 3435 3436 * foomatic-datafile: Added "direct" data file type for 3437 Direct-O-Matic 3438 3439 * lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Modified comments of the LPD-O-Matic printer 3440 description file (generated by the function "getlpddata()") 3441 because these files are also used for Direct-O-Matic. 3442 3443 2001-12-07 Manfred Wassmann <foomatic@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de> 3444 3445 * Makefile: Split the install target into install-bin and 3446 install-db.

The 3464 main process waiting for their children to exit fixes especially 3465 a problem of lpdomatic: LPRng resetted the printer port when the 3466 lpdomatic was ready, but in reality lpdomatic sub-processes were 3467 still working on the job, which lead to incomplete pages being 3468 printed (Bug #486096 on SourceForge). Also updated the comments 3469 in the beginning of the files 3470 3471 * foomatic-datafile: Added PPR support. 3472 3473 * foomatic-configure: Added the "-w 1" option to "nc" used in the 3474 $postpipe for LPD, otherwise "nc" only exits a rather long time 3475 after all data has be transmitted to the printer. This prevents 3476 the new lpdomatic from exiting immediately after the job has 3477 finished and so it takes a longer time until the next job 3478 starts. 3479 3480 * lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Used "/PageSize[...]" instead of 3481 "/PageRegion[...]" in the "*PageRegion" option of the 3482 PPD-O-Matic PPD files becasue GhostScript does not understand 3483 "/PageRegion[...]" (found this out during tests of PPR, which 3484 uses the "*PageRegion" option and not the "*PageSize" option to 3485 set the paper size. 3486 3487 2001-12-02 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3488 3489 * ppromatic: Completed first version of ppromatic: Added error and 3490 signal handling. Introduced back channel from child processes to 3491 main process and let main process wait until all children finish, 3492 to not loose any error message or exit status to report to PPR. 3493 3494 2001-11-30 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3495 3496 * db/source/*/*: Added some comments about the similarity of the 3497 Sharp and Xerox inkjets. 3498 3499 * db/source/opt/207.xml: Made "Model" option of "pcl3" having only 3500 the correct model entry as possible choice (as "Model" option of 3501 "gimp-print"/"stp". 3502 3503 2001-11-29 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3504 3505 * foomatic-preferred-driver: Higher priority for "pcl3" against 3506 "sharp.upp", the support of the "pcl3" driver for the Sharp and 3507 Xerox inkjets is much better since version 3.3 of "pcl3". 3508 3509 * db/source/*/*: Added Sharp/Xerox printers to list of printers 3510 supported by "pcl3" because of better Sharp/Xerox support by 3511 "pcl3" version 3.3, also changed the recommended driver of the 3512 Sharp and Xerox inkjets to "pcl3" and the functionality to 3513 "Mostly". 3514 3515 2001-11-24 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3516 3517 * ppromatic: Interface for the spooler PPR (ppr.sourceforge.net) 3518 introduced. To set up printer download PPD-O-Matic PPD file from 3519 your driver's page of the linuxprinting.org database (or use 3520 "foomatic-datafile -t ppd ...") and do 3521 3522 cp ppromatic /usr/lib/ppr/interfaces/ 3523 cp <downloaded ppd file> /usr/share/ppr/PPDFiles/ 3524 ppad interface <queue> ppromatic <address> 3525 ppad options <queue> backend=<interface> 3526 ppad ppd <queue> <ppd file without path> 3527 (Addiyional command to set up paper trays) 3528 3529 <interface> means the PPR interface name for the desired printer 3530 connection type (all in /usr/lib/ppr/interfaces/: parallel, 3531 serial, tcpip, lpr, smb, atalk, ...). 3532 <address> means the printer address as needed by the interface 3533 (/dev/lp0 for parallel, printer.domain.com:9100 for tcpip, ...) 3534 <ppd file without path> is the name under which you have saved 3535 your downloaded PPD file. Do not specify the path 3536 /usr/share/ppr/PPDFiles/ 3537 3538 2001-11-23 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3539 3540 * cupsomatic: Let numerical option default settings in be used 3541 when a printer is used with a PPD-O-Matic PPD file. 3542 3543 2001-11-22 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3544 3545 * lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Made HTML display of how to invoke a driver 3546 working correctly with the new XML Foomatic and enhanced it, 3547 especially for tricky command lines ("Execution Details" pages). 3548 3549 * db/source/opt/*: Corrected the "Required" state for many 3550 options, to get the "Execution Details" pages correct. 3551 3552 2001-11-21 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3553 3554 * db/source/printer/drv_z42: New web site for "drv_z42". 3555 3556 2001-11-20 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3557 3558 * db/source/printer/*: Set "Recommended driver" field 3559 (<driver>..</driver>) in all non-Paperweight printer entries. 3560 3561 2001-11-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3562 3563 * db/source/printer/*: The Epson Stylus C70/C80 do 2880x1440 dpi 3564 under free OS. Added comment in the appropriate database 3565 entries. 3566 3567 2001-11-18 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3568 3569 * README, USAGE: Added info about the PPD-O-MATIC PPD files. 3570 Especially USAGE contains info about printing with graphical 3571 interfaces and out of applications now. 3572 3573 2001-11-16 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3574 3575 * foomatic-preferred-driver: Added the "sj48" driver in the list, 3576 so that when one adds "omni" as the last entry, the "sj48" will 3577 get priority. 3578 3579 2001-11-15 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3580 3581 * cupsomatic: Added support for GPR as CUPS printing frontend. 3582 3583 * db/source/*/*: Added Lexmark Z43 (supported by "drv_z42" 3584 driver), corrections on Lexmark Z42. 3585 3586 2001-11-14 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3587 3588 * lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Added generation of a generic purpose PPD 3589 file (PPD-O-Matic), made generated PDQ scripts using settings 3590 added by an application using the PPD file, fixed bug of PDQ not 3591 printing when driver command line is composed of various shell 3592 commands. Removed some replacements of special characters in the 3593 generation of PDQ config files, they caused some driver command 3594 lines to get "overquoted" characters. 3595 3596 * cupsomatic, lpdomatic: Added support for the new generic PPD 3597 files, jobs are searched for settings done by applications using 3598 these PPD files. 3599 3600 * foomatic-datafile: Added "-t ppd" option to

Pre-building of the database for distros not needed 3914 any more. 3915 3916 * lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Make foomatic-combo-xml.c being preferrably 3917 used for building printer/driver combo data. 3918 3919 * Makefile, makeDefaults: Integration of foomatic-combo-xml.c. 3920 3921 2001-08-26 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3922 3923 * db/source/driver/*: Removed printer entry 207945 from the printer 3924 list of the "laserjet" and "stp" drivers, the printer was deleted. 3925 3926 2001-08-25 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3927 3928 * db/source/printer/HP-DesignJet_750.xml: added HP DesignJet 750, 3929 it is supported by Gimp-Print now. 3930 3931 2001-08-24 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3932 3933 * db/source/*/*: Added a whole bunch of japanese printers and 3934 drivers, thanks to Crutcher Dunnavant from Red Hat. 3935 3936 * db/source/driver/md2k.xml: Added the Alps MD-1500. 3937 3938 * foomatic-preferred-driver: Priorities for the japanese drivers. 3939 3940 * db/source/*/*: Corrected driver names for Epson's colour lasers. 3941 3942 2001-08-23 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3943 3944 * db/source/printer/*: Added the recent Epson laser printers: Epson 3945 EPL-5800, EPL-N1600, EPL-N2050, EPL-N2050+, EPL-N2750, AcuLaser 3946 C2000, C8500. 3947 3948 * db/source/printer/Brother*: Small adjustments of the entries. 3949 3950 * db/source/printer/*: Added the new Epson lasers to the drivers 3951 "Postscript", "pxlmono", "lj5gray", "lj5mono", "cljet5". 3952 3953 * db/source/*/*: Added the Epson laser printer drivers provided 3954 by Epson: "epl5800", "epl2050", "epl2050p", "acl2000", "acl8500". 3955 3956 * foomatic-preferred-driver: Epson laser printer drivers. 3957 3958 * db/source/printer/641170.xml: Removed duplicate entry for the 3959 Canon LBP-800. 3960 3961 2001-08-21 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 3962 3963 * db/source/*/*: Added new Brother printers: HL-1440, H:-1450, 3964 HL-1470N, HL-2460, HL-2460N, HL-2400CeN, HL-3400CN, MFC-P2500. 3965 3966 * db/source/*/*: Added some more Brothers to the hl1250 driver. 3967 3968 * db/source/opt/207.xml, db/source/opt/208.xml: Corrected default 3969 settings for the Apollo P-1200 with the pcl3 driver. It needs 3970 the the model setting "Unspecified old model" and a CMY colour 3971 mode. 3972 3973 * db/source/driver/hpijs.xml, db/source/opt/hpijs-Model.xml, 3974 db/source/opt/hpijs-Quality.xml, db/source/printer/413737.xml: 3975 The Apollo P-2200 works with drivers for the HP DeskJet 612C, 3976 taken this into account. 3977 3978 * db/source/printer/Okidata-ML_32?.xml, db/source/driver/okiibm.xml: 3979 Added the printers Okidata ML 320/321. 3980 3981 * db/source/printer/63200.xml: Added comment to the IBM 4019. 3982 3983 * db/source/printer/317321.xml, db/source/printer/607474.xml: 3984 Added instructions how to change the cartridges without needing 3985 special software. 3986 3987 * db/source/printer/24832.xml: Added useful info about the NEC P6 3988 plus. 3989 3990 * db/source/driver/epsonc.xml: This driver is needed to print on 3991 the NEC PinWriter P6/P6 plus in colour. 3992 3993 * foomatic-preferred-driver: Given priority to the "necp6" driver 3994 against the "epsonc" because in most cases the NEC PinWriter P6 3995 is used without colour add-on. 3996 3997 * db/source/*/*: Fixed bug in hpijs driver data: The docs talk about 3998 "DJ6xxP" for the "DeviceName" setting for photo-capable DeskJet 3999 6xx models, in reality "DJ6xxPhoto" has to be used. 4000 4001 * db/source/driver/sharp.upp.xml: Explained how to install 4002 "sharp.upp". 4003 4004 2001-08-20 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4005 4006 * db/source/printer/337577.xml: Duplicate entry for the HP OfficeJet 4007 G55, deleted. 4008 4009 * db/source/printer/Sharp*: Added the printers Sharp AJ-1805, 4010 AJ-2005, and AJ-2100. 4011 4012 * db/source/printer/*: Updated the entries for the Xerox DocuPrint 4013 M750 and M760, they print with "sharp.upp" and are both partially 4014 working. 4015 4016 * db/source/driver/sharp.upp.xml: Added the new Sharp printers 4017 (AJ-1805/2005) and the Xerox DucuPrint M750/M760. 4018 4019 * db/source/driver/hl1250.xml: Updated the URL of the driver's home 4020 page. 4021 4022 * db/source/driver/hl1250.xml, db/source/opt/53.xml: Removed the 4023 "Model" option from the "hl1250" driver, the GhostScript option 4024 "-sDEVICE=hl1240" or "-sDEVICE=hl1250" only determines the 4025 default resolution which is anyway overridden by Foomatic. 4026 4027 * db/source/opt/161.xml: The media source selection for the 4028 "Postscript" driver only works for HP printers, restricted to HP. 4029 4030 2001-08-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4031 4032 * db/source/printer/*: Added HP and Apollo printers: Apollo P-2100, 4033 P-2150, HP DeskJet 816C, 980C, e-printer e20, PhotoSmart P1215, 4034 P1218, OfficeJet K60, K80, V40, PSC 300, 750. 4035 4036 * db/source/*/hpijs*: Updated the data for the inkjet driver of HP 4037 ("hpijs"). 4038 4039 * db/source/*/DJ*: Deleted the old data of the HP driver (drivers 4040 "DJxxx"). 4041 4042 * db/source/*/*: Updated all information about the multifunction 4043 devices of HP, they are all capable for scanning with free 4044 software. 4045 4046 * db/source/printer/641138.xml: Duplicate entry for the Canon 4047 LBP-800, deleted. 4048 4049 * db/source/printer/207945.xml: Duplicate entry for the HP LaserJet 4050 2, deleted. 4051 4052 * foomatic-preferred-driver: Added new "hpijs" driver. 4053 4054 2001-08-17 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4055 4056 * Makefile: Moved foomatic-configure from /usr/sbin to /usr/bin. 4057 4058 * db/source/printer/Epson-Stylus_C[24]0*: Split up the entries for 4059 the Epson Stylus C20/C40 into the SX and UX models. This is needed 4060 for the Gimp-Print GhostScript driver. 4061 4062 2001-08-16 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4063 4064 * foomatic-configure: Support for printers on NetWare (with LPD 4065 and LPRng), output of the printer list both as root and normal 4066 user, LPRng SIGHUP after adding a new queue, spooler detection 4067 bug fix. 4068 4069 2001-08-11 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4070 4071 * foomatic-configure: Fixed bug of options not being conserved 4072 when changing parameters of a CUPS or PDQ printer. $olddatablob 4073 was defined at the wrong place. Added paths for rlpr, nc, and 4074 smbclient to Defaults.pm, so these commands can also be called 4075 when foomatic-configure is running in an environment without 4076 $PATH, for example during the installation of a distro. 4077 4078 * Makefile, makeDefaults: Paths for rlpr, nc, and smbclient added. 4079 4080 2001-08-05 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4081 4082 * db/source/opt/ppmtocpva-solidblack.xml: Added option "-solidblack" 4083 to "ppmtocpva" driver, it is new in the version 1.0 of the driver. 4084 4085 * db/source/printer/168201.xml: Corrected the resolution of the 4086 Citizen Printiva 600C. 4087 4088 * db/source/driver/ppmtocpva.xml: Added the old Alps MD models to 4089 the printers supported by the "ppmtocpva" driver. 4090 4091 2001-08-01 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4092 4093 * foomatic-cleanupdrivers: Removes all driver entries without 4094 command line (<prototype>..</prototype>) from a local Foomatic 4095 database. So frontends do not display "unusable" printer/driver 4096 combos. 4097 4098 * foomatic-preferred-drivers: Simple program which adds a 4099 <driver>..</driver> entry to every printer. The best driver is 4100 determined by a ranking. When one deletes all XML files for 4101 drivers which are not available on the system (and adds XML files 4102 for additional drivers) all printers will have the best driver 4103 of the current system as preferred driver. 4104 4105 * lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Exported "get_overview" for 4106 foomatic-preferred-drivers. 4107 4108 * db/source/*/*: Added the newest inkjets of Epson and the newest 4109 lasers of HP: Epson Stylus C20, C40, Epson Stylus Photo 785, 4110 875, 895, Epson Stylus Pro 10000, HP LaserJet 1200, 1220, 2200, 4111 3200m, 4100, 8150, 9000, HP Color LaserJet 4550. 4112 4113 * db/source/*/*: Corrected driver list for the HP LaserJet 3200se, 4114 it is the same as for the HP LaserJet 3200 now. 4115 4116 * db/source/driver/bjc600.xml: Removed the Canon BJC-5000 from the 4117 list of supported printers, it is a paperweight for sure. 4118 4119 * db/source/printer/474354.xml: Removed this extra entry for the 4120 Canon BJC-85. It was a relict of the time when the database was 4121 publicly editable. 4122 4123 2001-07-29 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4124 4125 * lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Take preferred driver (<driver>..</driver> 4126 tag) into thw overview listing (overview.xml, foomatic-configure 4127 -O). 4128 4129 * db/source/opt/69.xml: Made the "Normal" quality with the "cdj880" 4130 driver available again for all printers. With GNU GhostScript 4131 6.51 it works without problems. 4132 4133 2001-07-25 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4134 4135 * foomatic-configure: When one uses the -P option with a printer 4136 and a driver to obtain the datablob of this combo, one can also 4137 supply a queue to apply the default options of that queue to the 4138 datablob of the chosen combo. This can be used when one wants to 4139 change the driver used for a queue with the help of a 4140 frontend. The obtained datablob can be used to generate the 4141 option dialog in this situation. 4142 4143 * lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: The option and choice value arrays are 4144 sorted now (by a standard option list, by the "normalizename" 4145 function which is already used for printer names on the web 4146 site, and alphabatically/case-insensitive), so in XPDQ, KUPS, 4147 QtCUPS, XPP, the upcoming new printerdrake (Mandrake 8.1), and 4148 other frontends the options and choices will appear sorted. 4149 4150 2001-07-21 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4151 4152 * foomatic-configure: Added the possibility to copy/clone queues, 4153 now queues can be transferred to another spooler conserving all 4154 settings, including the default option settings. Restructured 4155 all queue query functions, now they can also generate complete 4156 Perl datablobs with all option default settings (even settings 4157 which XPDQ has written into /etc/pdq/printrc or which KUPS has 4158 written into the PPD files) and all queue settings as the 4159 connection URI, description, location, ... (in the new 4160 'queuedata' field). This facility can be used by graphical 4161 frontends. Now foomatic-configure also supports to be called 4162 unser different names and to load the default spooler choice 4163 from a file. 4164 4165 2001-07-20 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4166 4167 * foomatic-configure: Restructured all queue setup functions, now 4168 it is possible with all the spoolers to modify queues by only 4169 supplying the items which are changed on the foomatic-configure 4170 command line. One can even delete the description or location 4171 entries or switch from a queue with driver to a raw 4172 queue. Default settings for options do not get lost when one 4173 changes the driver and the new driver has options with the same 4174 name. Also option settings done with the "native" tools of CUPS 4175 and PDQ do not get lost on any kind of manipulation done with 4176 foomatic-configure. Extra Perl datablob files removed to avoid 4177 problems with maintaining redundant data repositories. Datablobs 4178 are now in the main config files (they were already there for 4179 CUPS and LPD/LPRng, for PDQ they are addad now. Output of 4180 datablobs for frontends will be done by a special command line 4181 option. The query functions are cleaned up now. 4182 4183 * lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Added Perl datablob to the PDQ datafiles, 4184 added a line break to the end of all "die" and "warn" messages 4185 to clean the error message output. 4186 4187 2001-07-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4188 4189 * foomatic-printjob: Fixed command line option translation when 4190 printing with PDQ (numerical options). 4191 4192 * foomatic-configure: XML-Combo data in /etc/foomatic is gzipped 4193 now (compression factor 10), Perl datablobs with the 4194 user-supplied default option settings are stored in 4195 /etc/foomatic, too (gzip factor 8). They serve for frontends to 4196 get the available options and make it easier to transfer the 4197 queues without loss of option settings. 4198 Setup function for LPD/LPRng restructured, it allows modifying a 4199 queue only supplying the information which changes on the 4200 foomatic-configure command line. One can even change the driver 4201 and all default settings of options with the same name in the 4202 old and the new driver are conserved. 4203 4204 * lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Fixed help page of PDQ (numerical options). 4205 4206 2001-07-18 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4207 4208 * foomatic-printjob: Links named "lp", "lpr", "lpq", "lprm", and 4209 "lpc" to the foomatic-printjob executable can be made and the 4210 program does the action of the appropriate command when called 4211 through one of the links, job list ("lpq") output of LPRng 4212 filtered so that it comes out in the same form as the job 4213 listings of the other spoolers, possibility to save a default 4214 spooler. 4215 4216 2001-07-17 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4217 4218 * foomatic-printjob: Added all missing job listing and job removal 4219 functions. Added functionality for advanced queue and job 4220 control. Updated help message. 4221 4222 * Makefile: Added CUPS commands for queue and job control. 4223 4224 * makeDefaults: Added CUPS commands for queue and job control. 4225 4226 2001-07-16 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4227 4228 * foomatic-printjob: Added job listing (query) and job removal 4229 functions for PDQ. Added job listing function for LPD. Added 4230 line breaks at the end of all "die" calls so that the line 4231 number is not shown when the program executes the appropriate 4232 "die", 4233 4234 * foomatic-configure: Added line breaks at the end of all "die" 4235 calls. 4236 4237 2001-07-15 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4238 4239 * foomatic-printjob: Coomand line options which are not used by 4240 foomatic-printjob are passed to spooler-specific printing 4241 command, Support for printing multiple copies with PDQ, printer 4242 queue can also be specified with the "-d" option. 4243 4244 2001-07-14 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4245 4246 * foomatic-printjob: Exit status of the spooler's printing command 4247 is passed back to the user as the exit status of 4248 foomatic-printjob, GNU-lpr (VA-Linux) is auto-detected and the 4249 options are passed appropriately. Clean-up of the help message 4250 (option -h). 4251 4252 * foomatic-configure: Support for setting default options, help 4253 message cleaned up. 4254 4255 2001-07-13 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4256 4257 * lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Removed backquote from the boolean option 4258 example in the PDQ help page. It broke the shell script for 4259 printing the page. Preliminary fix for foomatic-configure not 4260 exiting when building combo data with the Gimp-Print Foomatic 4261 data installed: Flushing memory cache during build after 4262 treatment of every option. 4263 4264 * foomatic-printjob: Fixed option handling, 4265 4266 * foomatic-configure: Set automatically a search path to 4267 /etc/foomatic/pdq into the /usr/lib/pdq/printrc file, so that 4268 the Foomatic driver description files are found. 4269 4270 2001-07-11 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4271 4272 * Makefile: The INSTALLPREFIX facility was broken. Fixed. 4273 4274 * USAGE: Added user instructions. 4275 4276 * README: Pointed to new USAGE file 4277 4278 2001-07-05 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4279 4280 * sharp.upp: New driver for the Sharp AJ-1800/2000 inkjet printers 4281 4282 2001-07-02 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4283 4284 * Makefile: Added foomatic-printjob to the user programs to be 4285 installed 4286 4287 2001-07-01 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4288 4289 * foomatic-configure: Now the combo XML data and not only the 4290 printer data is stored in /etc/foomatic for every queue, the 4291 "-X" option allows also getting combo data by supplying both a 4292 printer and a driver, the logfile for the LPD/LPRng queues, 4293 /var/log/lp-errs is touched now when a queue is added, so that 4294 it is made sure that it exists. 4295 4296 * foomatic-printjob, Makefile, makeDefaults: First sketch of 4297 foomatic-printjob: Now one has basic printing functionality with 4298 options on all spoolers. 4299 4300 2001-06-30 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4301 4302 * foomatic-configure, Makefile, makeDefaults: PDQ support added: 4303 Now we have a command-line-based administration interface for 4304 PDQ and the basic functionality of foomatic-configure is 4305 completed. Fixed bug in help message of foomatic-configure. In 4306 LPD "rlpr" is only used for remote LPD queues with filter, for 4307 raw queues the "rm" and "rp" tags in the /etc/printcap file are 4308 used. 4309 4310 2001-06-29 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4311 4312 * foomatic-configure: Added LPRng support (without 4313 magicfilter). The support is done by adding the differences 4314 between LPD and LPRng in the functions for handling LPD. Fixed 4315 autodetection of LPRng (typo). 4316 2001-06-29 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4317 4318 * lpdomatic: Fixed: The documentation page did not show the 4319 correct lpr command line example for LPRng and when lpdomatic 4320 does not find the printer driver description file (*.lom) it did 4321 not put the file name into the error message. 4322 4323 * Makefile: Removed comment that LPRng is not supported yet. 4324 4325 2001-06-28 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4326 4327 * lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Fixed several bugs in the function 4328 getpdqdata(): PostScript/PJL options were not prepended to the 4329 job data/the GhostScript output, let the choice names be 4330 <option>_<choice> and not only <choice>, because in PDQ one 4331 provides only the choice name and not the option name and the 4332 choice name on the command line. So options with the same choice 4333 names (as "Duplex" and "Manualfeed" on the LaserJet 4050 with 4334 "ljet4" driver, which have both "On" and "Off" as choices) are 4335 ambiguous, added "docs" option to print documentation page with 4336 PDQ, fixed boolean options, they were broken. Text file printout 4337 done with "mpage" now. 4338 4339 * cupsomatic, lpdomatic: Fixed bug of "This option corresponds to 4340 a PJL command" not appearing on documentation page (option 4341 "docs"). 4342 4343 2001-06-27 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4344 4345 * foomatic-configure: Query function for CUPS, corrected bug in 4346 function dump_config where the <queue ...> tag was closed by 4347 </foomatic>, fixed query function for LPD, so that it supports 4348 all backend types, remote LPD printing under LPD done with 4349 "rlpr". 4350 4351 * Makefile, makeDefaults: Added /etc/cups/printers.conf. 4352 4353 2001-06-26 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4354 4355 * foomatic-configure: Support for adding/modifying and removing 4356 CUPS queues (for all backends supported by CUPS). 4357 4358 * cupsomatic: Parsing of options embedded in the document 4359 fixed. For accessing the value of an enumerated option $avalue 4360 instead of $value was used, so the values read into $value were 4361 not inserted into the option list. Search the first 1000 lines 4362 for options because after polling the PJL options from a printer 4363 or with a PostScript printer with many features in its PPD file 4364 the 100 lines can easily be exceeded. 4365 4366 * lpdomatic/cupsomatic (common part): The support of PJL option is 4367 marked by the existence of the "pjl" key in the Perl data set of 4368 the printer/driver combo. So "if (defined($dat->{'pjl'}))" and 4369 not "if ($dat->{'pjl'})" has to be asked to check PJL support. 4370 4371 2001-06-25 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4372 4373 * foomatic-configure: Support for adding CUPS queues (all queue 4374 types supported by "lpadmin"). Bugfixes in queue setup for LPD: 4375 Make directories before the backend script for raw queues is 4376 written to there, Rename old $etcfile and $etcxfile also when 4377 one sets up a raw queue. 4378 4379 * Makefile, makeDefaults: Set default paths and file names for CUPS, 4380 let cupsomatic be installed in the CUPS filter directory. 4381 4382 2001-06-24 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4383 4384 * foomatic-configure: Now one can configure all types of 4385 LPD queues automatically: local USB/parallel, remote 4386 LPD/SMB/Socket. In addition one can define a queue which pipes the 4387 output into an arbitrary command or a raw queue. Bugfix: Removed 4388 colon after "q" (="quiet") in "getopts()" line. Introduced "-f" 4389 (="force") flag of foomatic-datafile. 4390 4391 * lpdomatic (bugfix): In lpdomatic the 4392 prepending of PJL options is suppressed for non-PJL printers. 4393 4394 * Makefile (bugfix): Added foomatic-*pjloptions, moved 4395 foomatic-configure to admin programs. Fixed links of the pcache 4396 and compiled directories in /var/cache/foomatic to 4397 /usr/local/share/foomatic/db, before the printer combo was always 4398 recompiled. 4399 4400 2001-06-21 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4401 4402 * Makefiles: Allowed the possibility to install the Perl libs with 4403 another prefix than the rest of the files. So installation is also 4404 possible when Perl does not search for libraries in /usr/local. 4405 4406 2001-06-20 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4407 4408 * Bugfixes: foomatic-configure could not delete queues, makeDefaults 4409 set a wrong path for lpdomatic, Makefile missed a "make" in 4410 the process of installing the Perl libraries. 4411 4412 2001-06-16 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> 4413 4414 * PJL options can be added to the Foomatic data now: 4415 foomatic-getpjloptions retrives them from the printer, 4416 foomatic-addpjloptions generates XML datasets from them. 4417 4418 2001-04-01 Grant Taylor <gtaylor@linuxprinting.org> 4419 4420 * Various renaming has happened. Instead of 'PHTDBPUB', it's 4421 Foomatic::DB. Foomatic::Defaults exports the libdir et al into 4422 you, and the flock of companion modules represent other mostly 4423 internal code. 4424 4425 * Rearranged all the code; now there's a proper Perl module, in 4426 theory at least, in Foomatic/, and the toplevel Makefile 4427 supports this. There's also 'make testing', for a run-in-place 4428 setup. 4429 4430 2001-03-14 Grant Taylor <gtaylor@linuxprinting.org> 4431 4432 * Minor updates to reflect website postgres->xml conversion. 4433 4434 2001-03-10 Grant Taylor <gtaylor@linuxprinting.org> 4435 4436 * Added section="??" attribuge to arg_postscript. Now it's clear 4437 where the Postscript snippets should be placed in the document. 4438 OTOH, the filters haven't even absorbed Crutcher's DocumentSetup 4439 patch, nevermind support for other locations. And JCL still 4440 isn't handled. Or ppd constraints. Or queries. Etc. 4441 4442 * Fixed Till's bug wrt empty options being left out. Also fixed a 4443 few other subtle bugs in ppd parser and foo option generator. 4444 4445 * Small updates to Makefile; it might work again. Note that it 4446 modifies the scripts in place before installing, which will 4447 cause confusion if you attempt further work in place. 4448 4449 * Added foomatic-kitload, which imports source data subsets into 4450 the local data library. 4451 4452 2001-03-07 Grant Taylor <gtaylor@linuxprinting.org> 4453 4454 * Various additional checks and things when doing combo ops in 4455 hopes of avoiding horribly mysterious error messages. 4456 4457 * Implemented foomatic-ppdload. It might even work(tm). 4458 4459 2001-03-06 Grant Taylor <gtaylor@linuxprinting.org> 4460 4461 * Made dump_db strip out illegal constraints, and implemented 4462 comments filtering. Only <p> and <a> are allowed now. <br> is 4463 mapped into <p>. 4464 4465 * New snap of Postgres database 4466 4467 * Make install should(tm) now do something sensible. It still 4468 ought to autodetect "flavor" for foomatic-configure. 4469 4470 * Rename make-datafile to foomatic-datafile. 4471 4472 * Wrap f-c -Q output in <queues> to make it have one toplevel 4473 entity. 4474 4475 2001-03-04 Grant Taylor <gtaylor@linuxprinting.org> 4476 4477 * Removed constraints entirely from combo data. So arg_defval now 4478 appears at /option/arg_defval instead of at 4479 /option/constraints/constraint/arg_defval. 4480 4481 * Switch verified tag to an unverified tag. Eventually, the xml 4482 dataset will be defined as containing only verified information, 4483 so this way there's one less tag for maintainers to fiddle with. 4484 4485 * Prepare for CVS integration. 4486 4487 * Various minor twiddles around the website programs. 4488 4489 * args_byname twiddle for Till. 4490 4491 * Include all the backends in the package. 4492 4493 2001-02-28 Grant Taylor <gtaylor@linuxprinting.org> 4494 4495 * Require Storable 4496 4497 * Added printer autodetect sections to overview. Use xpath or 4498 similar to see the values in /printer/autodetect/parallel 4499 4500 * -Q in foomatic-configure; prints XML summary of system printer 4501 configuration. -X and -O allow examination of the whole 4502 database. f-c API should now be sufficient to build GUIs atop. 4503 4504 * compile_db changes to limit pain of Perl memory leaks. 4505 4506 * Added the pcache, a persistent pre-parsed cache of everything. 4507 4508 * Various buglets from Till. Invalid constraints just warn, don't 4509 hose the whole option. Etc. 4510 4511 * Add foomatic-configure; initial LPD support. 4512 4513 * Various typos and minor fixes; the overview compile/save was 4514 broken, and the overview Perl was missing the driver list. 4515 4516 * Begin beta3. 4517 4518 2001-02-25 Grant Taylor <gtaylor@linuxprinting.org> 4519 4520 * Added methods get_makes, get_javascript2, get_models_by_make, 4521 get_printer_from_make_model. 4522 4523 * Added overview support. Various methods now return or use the 4524 overview infromation; the overview is just a summary listing of 4525 various database-wide info. By using it, many operations are 4526 less horribly slow. The overview is db/compiled/overview.xml 4527 4528 * Don't actually need XML::Grove::PerlSAX. 4529 4530 * Added -f clag to compile_db, and extra work avoidance code. 4531 4532 * Fixed variable naming bug in pdq generator, and fixed boolean 4533 option conversion in getdat. 4534 4535 2001-02-25 Grant Taylor <gtaylor@habanero.picante.com> 4536 4537 * Included an experimental dataset from the new data generation 4538 code I've written for gimp-print. The driver "stp-4.1.5" might 4539 even work(tm). 4540 4541 2001-02-20 Grant Taylor <gtaylor@habanero.picante.com> 4542 4543 * Subtle adjustments to <constraint> contents. The <sense> 4544 element is gone; replaced with the sense="true" or sense="false" 4545 attribute on the <constraint> tag itself. Also, you can now 4546 specify a <printer>printer-id</printer> element instead of 4547 make/model; this is useful for automatically generated data.
