- Added "-dNOINTERPOLATE" to the Ghostscript command lines, as this makes
Ghostscript significantly faster (LP: #668800, Ghostscript bug #691755).
- Renamed the choice names of the manufacturer-independent "InputSlot"
options to not use tray numbers any more as the tray numbering varies
with the manufacturer (Closes: #530600).
- Fixes in the XML schema files which describe the format of the Foomatic
XML files.
- Install the XML schema files, to be used by the new foomatic-verify-xml
utility in foomatic-db-engine.
- Several fixes in the Foomatic XML files, many discovered during the
development work on foomatic-db-engine in the Google Summer of Code.

Ricoh Aficio SP 1000S and SP 1100S (LP: #700141).
- Added custom page size to the PageSize option of many drivers. Most
printers are capable of taking arbitrary page sizes and in addition, we
cannot be sure that we have enumerated all possible page sizes for all
printers (LP: #726397).
- Added new "c2esp" driver entry for Kodak inkjet printers and some Kodak
inkjets which possibly work with this driver.

custom page sizes by hardware (LP: #726397).

only working via PostScript. For these printers PostScript is also
an optional add-on and therefore one should be able to also set them
up in PCL mode. The PCL mode will also be the recommended driver
to assure that automatic setup of the printer works also if it has
no PostScript module (LP: #378475).

* debian/control, debian/rules, debian/foomatic-db-compressed-ppds.postinst:
Introduced the binary package foomatic-db-compressed-ppds. This package
contains all PPDs which can be generated from the Foomatic XML database
in one compressed pyppd archive. This takes much less disk space than the
XML database (600 kB vs. 18 MB) and access (listing all PPDs, extracting
the needed PPD) is also significantly faster.

The splitting was formerly introduced to save space on the Ubuntu Desktop

freeing several tens of megabytes on the Ubuntu Desktop CDs (or on any live
CD based on Debian or a derivative distribution). The archives are self-

foomatic-db (20100806-0ubuntu2) maverick; urgency=low
* debian/openprinting-ppds.install, debian/openprinting-ppds-extra.install:
Corrected paths: PPDs should be in /usr/share/ppd/openprinting/, not
in /usr/share/ppd/postscript/. Once, these PPDs come from OpenPrinting and
there could be packages with PostScript PPDs from other sources, and
second, some of the PPDs provided by the openprinting-ppds-extra package
are PCL-XL PPDs.
* debian/dirs: Letting a package create the empty directory /usr/share does
not make sense, as every package has files in /usr/share/doc. Removed.
* debian/foomatic-db.dirs: Let the foomatic-db package create the directory
/usr/share/ppd/openprinting, as foomatic-db provides a link to it.

* New upstream release
- Removed ugly Perl workarounds to implement paper input tray selection
for the PCL 4/5/5e/5c/6/XL Ghostscript drivers. Paper tray selection is
fixed in GhostScript for some time already.
- Removed explicit supply of PJL commands for setting the resolution
with the PCL 6/XL Ghostscript drivers. This is fixed in Ghostscript
for some time.
- Set the resolution of the draft model of the PCL 6/XL Ghostscript drivers
to 600 dpi, some printers, like the HP LaserJet 3390, do not print
correctly with 300 dpi in PCL-XL mode.
- Removed workaround against crashes of the "bjc600" and "bjc800" drivers
when PDF is used as input. This is also fixed in Ghostscript for some
time.
- Fixed PIN option of the "hl7x0" driver, it had no long name (menu
entry string) for the "None" setting.
- Added the Brother PT-2300 label printer.
* debian/patches/bjc600-bjc800.patch: Removed, applied upstream.

(LP: #504841).
- Added "n" and "nw" version of HP LaserJet 1022, to make printer setup
tools set them up with "foo2zjs" (LP: #250872).
- Samsung CLP-610ND needs "splix" instead of "pxlcolor" as driver
(LP: #505423, LP: #510832).
- Added license info to the PostScript PPDs from KONICA MINOLTA.
- Lexmark's PostScript PPDs are free software and therefore included in
the foomatic-db upstream source package now.
- Generic PCL 6/PCL XL printer works also with the "hpijs-pcl5c" driver.
- Oki B6300 works as PCL-XL printer.
- Corrected OrderDependency numbers for the JCL options so that the JCL
code is definitely inserted in the correct order (LP: #442451).
- Removed "*cupsFilter" line for Apple from the ready-made PPDs, it causes
problems with some printers on Mac OS X.
- Renamed printer entries: HP Color LaserJet 8550GN -> 8550, HP LaserJet
2055 -> P2055d.
- Removed HP's PostScript PPD files as they are supplied and maintained
in HPLIP.
- Major XML clean-up.

* New upstream release
- Updated Kyocera PPDs to version 8.4 (Upstream bug #366) and added 5
new Kyocera printers.
- Fixed default paper tray for the HP CM8050/CM8060 MFP to be tray 2 and
not the bypass tray 1 (LP: #99316).
- Added Brother HL-2140 and DCP-7070 (LP: #287889 and LP: #153295).
- Removed some obsolete and redundant tags from the XML data.
- Changed the recommended driver for the Epson Stylus Color 200 to
"stcolor".The "mj500c" driver is buggy on Ghostscript 8.60 and newer
(Red Hat bug #513676, Ghostscript bug #689595). Marked "mj500c"
obsolete with "stcolor" as recommended replacement.
- Added 8 printers from Texas Instruments.
- Added the Genicom microLaser 12.
- Added new driver entries "hpijs-pcl3", "hpijs-pcl5e", and "hpijs-pcl5c",
to generate PPD files for all non-HP printers being used with HPIJS,
as HPLIP does not provide PPDs for non-HP printers and foomatic-db-hpijs
makes HPIJS support for non-HP printers too complicated. Updated
recommended drivers for all affected printers.
- Corrected option and choice IDs in some option XML files.
* debian/control: Made foomatic-db-hpijs package obsolete by adding
appropriate Conflicts:/Replaces: entries.
* debian/control: Added Recommends: for all printer driver packages which get
their PPDs from foomatic-db.
* debian/foomatic-db.postinst: Let PPD files of existing queues which were
generated with XML data from foomatic-db-hpijs (driver entry "hpijs") be
replaced by PPDs from the new foomatic-db-provided driver entries
"hpijs-pcl3", "hpijs-pcl5e", and "hpijs-pcl5c".

"InputSlot" option to select the paper source from roll (with/without
cut), tray, rear feed, manual feed. The driver also supports custom
page sizes.
- Fixed "Resolution" option for the "Postscript" and "Postscript1"
drivers: Removed the "default" choice as it is not compliant with the
Adobe specs and let the resolution code get inserted before the Page
Size code, as according to the PPD specs some printers need to set
the resolution before setting the page size.

Brother PPD files (LP: #141487).
- Replaced broken PPD for the Kyocera FS-9100DN by the one for the
FS-9120DN (LP: #344691).
- Added "*cupsFilter:" lines to all PCL-XL PPD files from Ricoh and OEM
so that they accept PDF as input format. This assures that always the
most straightforward CUPS filter chain gets used and interferences
between filters (like LP: #361772) get avoided.
- Removed "Black and White" Color Mode (1 bit per pixel) from the
"cdj550" driver. This mode is not supported by the driver (LP: #337133).
- DesignJet driver assignement fixes, new "cdnj500" driver.
- Correction of auto-detection strings.
- Addition of CUPS custom option definitions to the PPDs from Ricoh
family and OEM.
- New "pxldpl" driver entry for the Dell 3010cn and Dell DPL printers
in general.
* Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes:
- Driver entries removed for drivers which are not shipped by Ubuntu
- Fixed manufacturer-supplied PPDs: "*CloseUI <option>" ->
"*CloseUI: <option>", "*1284DeviceId" -> "*1284DeviceID".
- openprinting-ppds-extra package with PPDs from Ricoh family and OEM
and non-English PPDs from Kyocera
- Linked PPD files with Foomatic database, so that links in the Foomatic
XML files keep working.
- Removed link into /usr/share/cups/model, it makes PPDs appearing
twice.
- debian/patches/bjc600-bjc800.patch: Removed workaround for Ghostscript
crashing when feeding bjc600/bjc800 drivers with PDF. The Ghostscript
shipped by Ubuntu is fixed.
- foomatic-filters-ppds discontinued upstream, updated debian/control
appropriately.
- foomatic-db does not make sense without foomatic-db-engine and
foomatic-filters, made the Recommends: a Depends:.

* debian/rules: Many manufacturer-supplied PPD files use the incorrect
syntax "*CloseUI <option>" instead of "*CloseUI: <option>" which makes
CUPS silently rejecting the PPD and simply printing raw. Fixed this
globally by checking and if needed correcting all PPDs (Upstream bug #164,
Debian bug #493104).

Adobe specifications for PPD files.
o The HP LaserJet 1320 works with the "pxlmono" driver (LP: #172550).
o Added printers from Lexmark, Toshiba, Oki, Epson, Sharp, Ricoh and
OEM.
* debian/rules: Add "*cupsFilter" line to accept PDF input data to the
ready-made PPDs which use foomatic-rip.

Genicom, Xante, Minolta, IBM/Infoprint, Brother, Oce, Sharp, Tektronix,
Panasonic, Epson.
o Fixed auto-detection signatures for several printers.
* Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes:
o Split openprinting-ppds into openprinting-ppds and
openprinting-ppds-extra. openprinting-ppds-extra contains less
common PPDs and is not included in the Ubuntu Desktop CDs
o Remove driver XML entries for drivers not being part of Ubuntu
o Keep original ordering of the PPD files in the file system
* debian/control: Replaced "cupsys" by "cups | cupsys", let
openprinting-ppds-extra require foomatic-filters, as the Ricoh PPDs
need foomatic-rip.
