* Tagged branch for release 4.0.3.
* README, USAGE, configure.ac: Updated for release 4.0.3.
* foomatic-ppd-to-xml.in: Added "-n" option to the foomatic-ppd-to-xml
utility. This makes only new printer XML files being generated and
no modified versions of existing files.
2009-08-18 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomatic-preferred-driver.in: The "hpijs" driver entry got replaced
by "hplip".
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Add "hpijs-pcl5e" or "hpijs-pcl5c" or "hplip"
instead of "hpijs" to the driver list of the XML file of a PCL 5c/e
printer if a printer XML file is generated from a PPD file.
Fixed ppd1284DeviceID() function, it did not recognize the
"CMD"/"COMMAND SET" field in the device ID string.
Made sure that the fields in the IEEE-1284 device ID get closed with
a semicolon before adding a new field.
If there is a <ppdentry> XML tag for the printer/driver combo, do not
use the <ppdentry> XML tags for the printer or the driver.
Add "*PSVersion:" keywords for the newest Ghostscript versions to the
PPD files.
2009-07-17 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Added support for multiple "*Product:" lines
in PPD files, improved determination of the model name from the
PPD file, put generation of the Foomatic ID from make and model
into the function generatepid().
* foomatic-ppd-to-xml.in: For determining whether there is already
a Foomatic entry for the given PPD, use also all "*Product:"
lines in the PPD and the PPD links in the XML files in the
OpenPrinting database. Let more than one printer XML file get
created if the PPD has multiple "*Product:" lines. General
support for multiple printer XMLs for one PPD file. Warn if the
"-l" command line switch is used if "-d" is not supplied.
2009-06-24 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* Tagged branch for release 4.0.2.
* README, USAGE, configure.ac: Updated for release 4.0.2.
2009-06-22 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: At some points "==" was used to compare strings,
it must be "eq". Especially this broke the PPD generation for all
boolean command-line-style options (bug #356).
2009-05-08 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomatic-combo-xml.c: If a printer XML entry has a driver in its
driver list but for which there is no driver XML entry, this
printer/driver combo was considered as producing a PPD because the
driver is not in the list of drivers without command line
prototype. Replaced the negative list of drivers without command
line prototype by a positive list of drivers with command
line prototype. Now non-existing driver XML files are handled
correctly as drivers not producing PPDs (Ubuntu bug #373371).
2009-05-07 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: If a JCL option is member of a composite option
it was generated incorrectly in the PPD files (Ubuntu bug #361772).
2009-04-23 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* Re-tagged branch for release 4.0.1.
* README, USAGE, configure.ac: Updated.
2009-04-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* Tagged branch for release 4.0.1.
2009-03-17 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomatic-compiledb.in: Fixed copy-and-paste bug in foomatic-compiledb
which broke the "-d" option (bug #319).
2009-02-25 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Added "application/vnd.apple-pdf" as input
mime type to the generated Foomatic PPDs, so that also under Mac
OS X a full PDF printing workflow will get established (bug
#313).
2009-01-15 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: For string and password options the
"*ParamCustom..." keywords were not generated correctly (option
type missing, bug #297).
Changed the way how the driver's short description is added to the
PPD so that it can be longer than 80 characters (bug #296).
2009-01-09 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* Tagged branch for release 4.0.0.
2009-01-08 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomatic-ppdfile.in: "foomatic-ppdfile list" showed wrong PPD
file names for some printers (bug #281).
2009-01-07 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* configure.ac: Bumped version number to 4.0.0.
* foomatic-combo-xml.c: All printers with <postscript> in their
<lang> sections got listed as supported by the "Postscript"
driver. Now explicit assignment of this driver via the
<printers> section in the driver entry or the <drivers> section
in the printer entry is required.
Let the overview for listing only printer/driver combos with
valid PPDs (foomatic-combo-xml -C") also show combos where the
driver is only mentioned in the printer's driver list. Now
foomatic-compiledb really generates all PPDs which are available
on the OpenPrinting web site (bug #291).
* README, USAGE, TODO: Updated for version 4.0.0.
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Improved printer search. Now searches with model
number but without product line name also work (ex: "Ricoh MPC3500"
finds the "Ricoh Aficio MP C3500").
* debian/: Removed. The Debian package maintainer does not maintain
the debian directory in this BZR repository.
* foomatic-filters-ppds-README, foomatic-filters-ppds-install,
README.build-foomatic-filters-ppds, Makefile.in: Removed build
of the foomatic-filters-ppds package, as foomatic-rip is now
written in C and so no universal platform-independent tarball of
this type can be created any more.
2008-11-11 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Set default section to 'JCL' when the option is
a JCL option.
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Output CUPS custom options.
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Set the correct section in OrderDependency
(until now, AnySetup was always used)
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Insert JCL code directly for JCL options (not
via FoomaticRIPOptionSetting); Remove redundant FoomaticRIPOptions
for JCL enumerated choice options.
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Surround JCL option values with @PJL...<0A> if
necessary. Quote prototypes of custom JCL options.
2008-11-10 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomatic-perl-data.c: If the overview XML input has no
<functionality> field, the functionality entry stays a NULL
pointer. On some systems like Solaris outputting a NULL pointer
with "printf()" leads to a segmentation fault (under Linux it is
no problem, the output will be "(null)"). Fix for bug #213.
2008-10-28 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Match the field headers of IEEE-1284 device
IDs case insensitively. Some IDs have these headers not
all-uppercase, like Kyocera. Fixed also that the manufacturer
name can creep into the "*Product:" field of the PPD when the
model name cannot be read from the device ID.
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Bumped version number in PPD header to 4.0.0.
* README, USAGE, configure.ac, foomatic-addpjloptions.in,
foomatic-perl-data.c, lib/Foomatic/DB.pm:
s/GhostScript/Ghostscript/
* foomatic-ppd-to-xml.in, lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Several fixes to
find existing XMLs and to let merging changes into existing
XMLs work correctly.
2008-10-24 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomatic-ppd-to-xml.in, lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Let
foomatic-ppd-to-xml find already existing printer entries and
merge the reference to the PPD file into them instead of
creating a new XML file. Let all XML files get created in a
user-specified directory.
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Let the perltoxml() function not put
hard-coded comments into printer entries.
2008-10-23 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomatic-ppd-to-xml.in, lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Moved driver and PDL
magic of the XML file generation into lib/Foomatic/DB.pm.
2008-10-22 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomatic-ppd-to-xml.in, Makefile.in, configure.ac,
lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Added new "foomatic-ppd-to-xml" to generate
Foomatic XML files corresponding to a given PPD file.
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Improved "normalizename()" function for
sorting printer, manufacturer, or driver lists.
2008-10-02 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Changed method to find all printers
supported by a given driver, so that printer/driver relations
can also be defined by a <drivers> section in the printer entry.
2008-09-06 Dafydd Crosby <dcrosby@userful.com>
* ppdtoxml: Can now add extra drivers to XML more easily.
2008-09-03 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>
* acinclude.m4: Fixed underquoted definitions.
2008-09-02 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Prevent busy loop when trying to shorten
PPD nicknames like "HP OfficeJet LX
Foomatic/gutenprint-ijs-simplified.5.0".
2008-08-18 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Use "Oki" instead of "Okidata" when
cleaning manufacturer names.
2008-08-12 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Added on-disk cache functionality for the
database overview Perl structure. To activate this functionality
one does simply "use Foomatic::DB; my $db = new Foomatic::DB;
$db->{'overviewfile'} = "<filename>";". The CGI scripts of the
OpenPrinting web site generate overviews very frequently, so
this should reduce the server load a lot (merged from stable
branch).
* ppdtoxml: Now adds the <drivers> tag, inserting the preferred
driver automatically. The next release will allow the insertion
of extra driver entries (from Dafydd Crosby, merged from stable
branch).
2008-08-12 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm, foomatic-perl-data.c: Added
"*FoomaticRIPCommandlinePDF" and "*cupsFilter" lines for PDF
printing workflow to all generated PPDs.
2008-07-01 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Added on-disk cache functionality for the
database overview Perl structure. To activate this functionality

OpenPrinting web site generate overviews very frequently, so

driver automatically. The next release will allow the insertion
of extra driver entries.
2008-06-25 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomatic-combo-xml.c: Allow XML files with header lines ("<? ... ?>",
"<! ... >") in the beginning. Everything which is before the main
tag of each file ("<printer>" for printer entries, "<driver>" for
driver entries, and "<option>" for option entries) gets removed
now.
2008-06-18 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomatic-perl-data.c: Added support for output of both translated
and original (English) license text and for links to external
license text files.
2008-06-06 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomatic-preferred-driver.in: Skip printers without printer
XML entry, to avoid that empty printer XML files get generated.
* foomatic-compiledb.in: Simplify the generation of the list of
valid printer/driver combos even more.
2008-06-05 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomatic-combo-xml.c: When supplying the "-C" option (overview
of all printer/driver combos for which a PPD file is available),
do not go through the printers without printer XML
entries (printers only mentioned in driver XML entries) as they
never have a valid PPD.
Consider a printer/driver combo also valid if the driver is
"Postscript" and in the <lang> section there is a <postscript>
section, independent whether the printer is listed in the
"Postscript" driver XML file.
In the driver XML file only copy the XML section for selected
printer into the emptied driver list if the section really
exists.
If we request an overview of only the printer/driver combos
which provide a valid PPD file ("-C" option for
foomatic-combo-xml) we do not list combos which have the
requested driver only defined in the <drivers> section of the
printer XML file (printer not in the driver list of the driver
XML file) and no ready-made PPD file
Strip white space from the name of the ready-made PPD file in
the printer enrty.
Let debug output show whether the selected printer/driver combo
is valid.
Bigger buffer for pseudo driver XML file for the case that the
driver is confirmed by an entry in the printer XML file and
there is no suitable driver XML file.
Corrected error message for an invalid printer/driver combo. It
caused a segfault.
Do not go through the printer/driver combos where the printer is
only defined by an entry in the driver's printer list and no
printer XML file exists when we request an overview for only the
combos which give a PPD file ("-C"). The combos without printer
XML never give PPD files.
* foomatic-compiledb.in: If we request PPDs use the overview for
only the combos with a valid PPD ("foomatic-combo-xml -C").
Improved the way to find all valid combos. Use the overview
("foomatic-combo-xml -C", to only get combos with PPDs) and
do not fork for generating the list of valid combos.
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Added support for the "WindowsANSI" encoding
in manufacturer-supplied PPD files.
2008-05-19 Dafydd Crosby <dcrosby@userful.com>
* ppdtoxml: Moved to foomatic-db-engine. Now handles special
characters properly, made configuration more intuitive.
2008-05-10 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Add "printer_exists()" function to check
whether a printer XML file exists for a given printer ID. The
"get_printer()" function is not suitable for this purpose
any more.
2008-05-09 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomatic-combo-xml.c, foomatic-perl-data.c, lib/Foomatic/DB.pm:
If a printer is in the list of supported printers of a driver
XML file but there is no printer XML file for the printer,
behave as the printer XML was there, generating a minimalistic
pseudo entry. Mark the pseudo entries with the "<noxmlentry />"
tag to distinguish them from real or user-contributed entries.
2008-01-29 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomatic-perl-data.c: Added "<patents>" tag to driver entries. Drivers
which are free software but contain (possibly) patented algorithms
(like JBIG compression) should be marked with this tag to warn users
about the patent issues when auto-downloading the driver.
2007-12-13 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomatic-perl-data.c: Added "<group>" tag to driver entries. Drivers
which differ only by their locales ("<locales>" tag) should have the
same "<group>" tags. If the user queries a driver giving a locale
he gets only the best matching from each group.
2007-12-12 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Allow localized queries by adding a "language"
field to the data structure and calling foomatic-perl-data with
an appropriate "-l" option.
* foomatic-perl-data.c: Fixed "-l" option, with "-l" the debug mode
was always activated.
2007-12-11 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomatic-perl-data.c: Added new XML tags "<licensetext>" (full
text of the license), "<locales>" (locales for which this driver
is recommended), "<requires>" (drivers which are required to be
on the system to run this driver), and "<packages>" (explicit
listing of downloadable package files). They were introduced to
fulfill demands of the printer manufacturers.
Allow internationalization in the "<license>", "<supplier>", and
"<supportcontact>" fields.
Fixed internationalization. Now it is at first tried to find a
text version which matches the user-supplied locale ID exactly,
then it is searched for a text version where the supplied locale
ID matches at least the language (First two characters), and as
last mean english text is shown.
2007-10-09 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: The PPD gnerator for CUPS did not list the
PPDs correctly on printer names containing a comma (Ubuntu bug
#150985).
2007-08-20 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Let margins default to safer values (1/4
inch on the left and on the right, 1/2 inch at the top and the
bottom) if no margins are defined in the Foomatic database.
Before, the default margins were all zero.
Allow an empty model name in the search term for the
find_printer() function ("ricoh|"), This way one can also search
all printers from a given manufacturer, where the given
manufacturer name does not need to match exactly with the name
in the database.
Some improvements in cleaning the manufacturer names.
Improvements in the perltoxml() function.
2007-07-18 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* README, foomatic-perl-data.c, lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Added support
for suppressing page accounting on a per-driver basis. If a
driver XML file is marked with "<nopageaccounting/>" in its
"<execution>" section, the line "*FoomaticNoPageAccounting:
True" is added to the PPD file to let foomatic-rip suppress
inserting the page accounting code into the PostScript data
stream.
2007-07-11 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* Makefile.in, README, README.build-foomatic-filters-ppds, USAGE,
configure.ac, foomatic-preferred-driver.in,
foomatic-printermap-to-gimp-print-xml.in,
foomatic-printermap-to-gutenprint-xml.in, debian/presubj,
lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Replaced "Gimp-Print" by "Gutenprint".
2007-07-10 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Allow group names preceeded by asterisks
('*') in PPD files ("*OpenGroup: ..."/"*CloseGroup: ..." lines).
This is needed by the PPD for the KONICA MINOLTA magicolor 5430
DL, provided by KONICA MINOLTA and probably also by several
other manufacturer-supplied PPD files.
2007-03-08 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomatic-perl-data.c: Let the PPD files listed in the XML version
of the overview also get listed in the Perl version.
2007-03-04 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Improved find_printer() method. Now
searches of make and model names do not consider other characters
than letters and numbers any more. All other characters are and
boundaries between letters and numbers are converted to single
spaces.
2007-03-03 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* debian/control: "gimp-print" -> "gutenprint".
2007-02-28 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Added new find_printer() method, to find
printer entries in the database based on IEEE-1284 device IDs
(from printer auto-detection), make/model, make, or model.
This is for a new search function on the site and also for
finding driver packages by printer setup tools.
* foomatic-searchprinter.in, configure.ac, Makefile.in: Added
simple tool to find printers in the locally installed
Foomatic database using the new find_printer() method.
2007-02-26 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomatic-perl-data.c, lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Let "<obsolete>" tags
in driver XML files be read and added to the Perl data structures
of driver entries, printer/driver combos, and the overview. Let
this info also be put into the PPDs and into the "DRV:" field
of the device IDs.
2007-02-24 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomatic-perl-data.c: Let Perl data structure for driver XML
files also contain the printer-specific exceptions of the driver
functionality data.
2007-02-23 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomatic-perl-data.c, lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Allow specifying
manufacturer names along with the "<manufacturersupplied>" tag
in the driver XML file. In this case in the PPDs and in the PPD
lists the driver is only marked as supplied by the manufacturer
if the printer manufacturer's name matches one of the given
names. For example if a Brother printer is used with HPIJS, the
driver is not considered manufacturer-suppiled.
2007-02-22 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomatic-combo-xml.c, foomatic-perl-data.c, lib/Foomatic/DB.pm:
Let new driver data fields go into the generated PPD files and
into the oberview output. To get this information into the PPD
lists of CUPS 1.2.x when using on-the-fly PPD generation added
a new "DRV:" field to the device ID which contains all the
driver functionality information.
2007-02-21 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomatic-combo-xml.c, foomatic-perl-data.c: Added support for
new data fields in the driver XML files. These data fields
should describe the properties of the drivers in a better way to
guide the user to find the best driver for his personal needs
and also make printer setup tools clearly informing the user
before downloading and installing a driver which is not part of
the distribution.
2007-02-07 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>

Replaced "FSG OpenPrinting" by "OpenPrinting".
2007-02-06 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>

foomatic-ppdfile (Thanks to Eric Raymond for his man page
verification bot).
2006-11-09 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-combo-xml.c, foomatic-ppdfile.in, lib/Foomatic/DB.pm:
Let the listing of auto-generatable PPD files for CUPS 1.2
("foomatic-ppdfile list") not contain entries for combos of
printers with driver entries with a ready-made PPD file, as
these PPD files are usually listed by CUPS directly.
2006-09-25 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* Makefile.in: Added forgotten DESTDIR (upstream merge from Debian
patch).
* foomatic-combo-xml.c: Several small stability fixes in the C code
(upstream merge from Debian patch).
* foomatic-configure.in: If there is a user named "cupsys", switch
the ownership of the PPD files to "cupsys", this way Ubuntu does
not break on running CUPS as non-root. This does not affect
other distributions (upstream merge from Debian patch).
* foomatic-printjob.in: Added help for the printer-specific
options (upstream merge from Debian patch).
* foomatic-getpjloptions.8.in: Typo fix (upstream merge from
Debian patch).
* foomatic-printjob.1.in: Text fixes, new help on printer options
mentioned (upstream merge from Debian patch).
2006-09-22 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-combo-xml.c, foomatic-ppdfile.in, lib/Foomatic/DB.pm:
Let the listing of auto-generatable PPD files for CUPS 1.2
("foomatic-ppdfile list") not contain entries for combos of
printers with driver entries which do not have a command line
prototype (these indicate only that the printer/driver combo
works, but do not produce PPD files). Allow defining valid
printer/driver combos also by only defining the driver in the
"<drivers>" section of the printer entry. So for a printer with
ready-made PPD it is enough to add a driver entry with link to
the PPD in its "<drivers>" section so that "foomatic-ppdfile"
lists and returns the PPD.
2006-07-20 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: For get_javascript2() building the printer
menu based on pre-read data now also printer IDs can be supplied
instead of deriving the IDs from the model names.
2006-07-16 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* Makefile.in: Fixed missing dependency at "man:" target in
the Makefile (Gentoo bug #138635)
2006-07-11 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Fixed bug in the decoding of UI strings in
the PPDs, only hex-encoded characters were decoded correctly
(Thanks to Florian Festi from Red Hat for this patch).
2006-07-10 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-extract-text.in: Generate .po files from the UI strings
in the currently installed Foomatic database (Thanks to Florian
Festi from Red Hat for this script).
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: When reading PPD files extract the UI strings
always in UTF-8, taking into account the encoding of the PPD file
(Thanks to Florian Festi from Red Hat for this patch).
* *: Way to many files were marked executable. Fixed.
2006-06-27 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: get_javascript2() can now also build the
script based on pre-read printer data. This avoids duplicate
reading of the Foomatic database and allows adding of extra
printers which are not in the Foomatic XML database (for example
new user-supplied entries).
2006-05-23 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Eliminated a warning.
2006-05-22 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* configure.ac: Do never use CUPS commands "enable-cups",
"disable-cups", "accept-cups", "reject-cups", even if
executable files with these names are available. CUPS has only
one executable for these tasks and recognizes by the
executable/link name what to do. So it only accepts execution
with one of the names "enable", "disable", "accept", "reject".
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: When generating PPD files from Foomatic
XML data and the option XML files contain "<arg_order>" tags
with different values, the options get ordered by the
"<arg_order>" values (within their group). This way manually
defining the presentation order of the options gets possible.
Fixed also a buglet in the setting of the default of numerical
options.
* foomatic-ppdfile.in: Removed "use strict;" due to an
incompatibility with the "getopts()" Perl function.
2006-05-20 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Improved group name parsing in the PPD
files, now the group names of the Gutenprint CUPS raster
PPDs are read out correctly. Do not sort the options any more
when reading PPD files.
2006-05-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-ppdfile.in: Let PPD file generation with cups-driverd
also work if the driver name contains dashes (as in Gutenprint),
added "use strict;", let debug output and error messages have
prefixes to be correctly categorized in the CUPS error_log.
2006-04-22 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-configure.in: Added support for reading additional items
from the /etc/cups/printers.conf file: Print quotas, individual,
printer sharing, error and operation policies.
2006-04-21 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Eliminated some warnings
* foomatic-configure.in: Added new URIs to URI overview in
header comments, let beh wrapper backend also not be
applied to HPLIP fax queues (URI: "hpfax:/...").
2006-04-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-ppdfile.in, lib/Foomatic/DB.pm, configure.ac,
Makefile.in, makeDefaults.in, USAGE, README: Added support for
on-the-fly PPD file generation by the CUPS 1.2 cups-driverd.
* USAGE: Update HPOJ -> HPLIP.
2006-02-28 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-configure.in: Treat a missing /etc/cups/printers.conf
as an empty file (CUPS 1.2 allows printers.conf missing for no
local printers). Suppress warnings if the list of available CUPS
queues is requested but no default printer set.
2006-01-17 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Generate PPD files correctly where an
enumerated-choice option has "0" as default (thanks to Tim
Waugh from Red Hat for the patch).
* foomatic-cleanupdrivers.in: Do not try to delete the "." file in
the driver-XML-file directory (thanks to Tim Waugh from Red Hat
for the patch).
2006-01-09 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Let PPD files with "*CloseGroup" without
group name being parsed correctly, eliminate warning about
uninitialized variable when a PPD file is built out of Foomatic
data.
2006-01-06 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* configure.in, configure.ac: Renamed configure.in to
configure.ac, to make the package working with the current
versions of aclocal and autoconf.
* foomatic-cleanupdrivers.in: Delete also driver XML files
without "<prototype>" tags at all, as they also do not
contain a driver command line prototype.
2005-10-26 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Fix on support for gzipped PPDs.
2005-10-25 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Added support for gzipping the custom
PPD files without needing to adapt the links in the printer
XML files.
2005-10-22 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-perl-data.c, foomatic-configure.in,
foomatic-ppdfile.in, foomatic-compiledb.in, lib/Foomatic/DB.pm:
Let the Foomatic tools use custom-made PPD files if they are
linked in the printer XML file and available in the local
Foomatic database.
2005-09-13 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Made "translate_printer_id()" not crashing
when it is called with a weird printer ID.
2005-08-23 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-combo-xml.c: Added the links to the ready-made PPD
files for all drivers to the overview output. Eliminated
compiler warnings.
* foomatic-perl-data.c: Eliminated compiler warnings.
2005-08-15 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-configure.in: Added support for the new "beh"
(Backend Error Handler for CUPS) backend (included
in foomatic-filters now).
2005-08-05 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-perl-data.c: Added support for "<ppd>" tags in the
"<drivers>" list of the printer XML files. This is needed
to provide ready-made PPDs for arbitrary drivers on the
linuxprinting.org site.
2005-08-04 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-configure.in: Fixed bug of multiple "tc=..." items in
an /etc/printcap entry of LPRng not being supported.
2005-07-12 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* READNE: Updated links to Adobe PostScript specifications.
2005-05-29 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-configure.in, lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Added support for
PPD file names with spaces (Mandriva bug #16172).
2005-05-11 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* README: Corrected character list in "<arg_allowedchars>" in the
example string option XML file. Improved instructions for
"<arg_allowedchars>".
2005-02-23 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-configure.in: Fixed bug of old non-Foomatic PPD not
overtaken when applying "foomatic-configure" to a queue without
specifying a PPD or a printer/driver pair.
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: When modifying PPD defaults for boolean
options "0" or "1" was written into the PPD file and not
"False" or "True".
2005-01-28 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* makeDefaults.in, foomatic-cleanupdrivers.in: Allow use of an
alternative Foomatic database location specifying it with the
FOOMATICDB environment variable.
* Makefile.in: Added foomatic-cleanupdrivers to be installed into
/usr/sbin, fixed "testing-clean" target.
* foomatic-cleanupdrivers.in: Use default database location from
Defaults.pm.
2005-01-22 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Fixed Tim Waugh's fix. It made an
"@@IEEE1284@@" appear in the PPD file when for a printer
no autodetection info was supplied. This made CUPS not
accepting the PPD.
2005-01-21 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Fixed "uninitialized value" warning (RH
bug #145605).
2004-11-30 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-configure.in, foomatic-ppdfile.in,
foomatic-compiledb.in, lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Let Foomatic not
generate PPD files with blank "*FoomaticRIPCommandLine" entry.

Tag name: "foomatic-db-engine-3_0_2".
* README, USAGE: Updated for version 3.0.2.
2004-07-30 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Use the manufacturer as defined in the
Foomatic database and not the one from the IEEE-1284
auto-detection ID string for the "*Manufacturer: ..." tag of the
PPD files, as in the IDs the manufacturer names
often do not comply with the Adobe specs (as "Hewlett-Packard",
here "HP" has to be used).
2004-07-20 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* configure.in: Replaced mechanism for auto-detecting libxml(2).
2004-07-13 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>

for newest gcc.
2004-03-04 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Read paper size with unit out of the driverval
(needed for Omni), restrict paper sizes in the PPD to 2 digits
after the decimal point.
2004-02-27 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Eliminated another Perl warning.

2004-01-22 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-configure.in: Eliminated warnings which appeared since
the insertion of "use strict;". Thanks to the hint from
Marcelo Ricardo Leitner (mrl at conectiva dot com dot br).
2004-01-22 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm (perltoxml): New function.
2003-12-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* configure.in, Makefile.in,
foomatic-printermap-to-gimp-print-xml.in: Added script to
update the driver entry of Gimp-Print with the printer list
of the src/foomatic/foomatic-printermap file of the
Gimp-Print source tarball (Gimp-Print 4.2.x or later).
* Makefile.in: Make mkinstalldirs executable (Thanks to Florian
Diesch <diesch@spamfence.net>).
* Makefile.in: Removed $(DESTDIR) from "make" calls for the Perl
libraries (Thanks to Florian Diesch <diesch@spamfence.net>).
2003-12-17 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>
* Makefile.in: Use relative symlink, not absolute.
2003-11-22 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>

2003-11-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* configure.in: Do not do a test run of GhostScript in the /def/fd/3
check if there is no GhostScript available.
2003-10-20 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* configure.in: Added /usr/local/libexec to LIBSEARCHPATH for *BSD
compatibilty. Thanks to Sebastian Horzela (sh at horzela dot
com).
* configure.in: Replaced a "==" by "=" in a "test" expression (*BSD
compatibility).
* configure.in, Makefile.in, README.build-foomatic-filters-ppds:
Fixes from Patrick Powell.
2003-09-13 Patrick Powell <papowell@lprng.com>
* foomatic-configure:
set 'use strict' and perl -w options - cleaned up
compilation and usage errors exposed by adding these
options.
modified the LPRng setup to be consistent with the new
or latest version of foomatic-rip and LPRng.
fixed several other entries that were using values that
either were not initialized or were the wrong variable
name. This appears to be the result of a cut-and-paste
where the author did not modify all of the variable names
in the pasted area.
Added warnings about security loopholes when using the
smbclient and nmbprint facilities.
Fixed up missing $DESTDIR in Makefile.in
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm
added 'use strict' to Foomatic::DB.pm and then did
editting for syntax cleanup. Mostly adding my to
'for $x' loops, i.e. - 'for my $x'
Cleaned up a performance hit by passing reference to
array rather than copying array.
* foomatic-ppdfile:
Added -A, -P match options to display information
If the PPD file does not exist, error message is printed
and exits with nonzero error code. Also tidied up
error messages and help messages.
If the driver (-d driver) is not specified or is blank,
use the default driver for the printer.
Sanity check the printer and driver names against the
database.
Fixed up the foomatic-ppdfile.1 man page and added the
-A and -P options.
* Makefile - make dist-clean now removes ppd subdirectory
* configure - added check for GhostScript and security
loophole in GhostScript. Modified the uses of
AC_PROG_PATH to avoid a problem with shell variable
expansion.
* foomatic-getpjloptions: changed use of 'echo -ne'
* foomatic-addpjloptions now handles strings, also defaults
with ? characters and string values.
-s - writes options to a single file
-i - does only IMPORTANT options
-a - does ALL options found in PJL information
(except readonly)
-q - reads the PJL file and produces a quick summary
(debugging)
* man pages - fixed up several of the man pages to agree with
the programs. More editting is needed.
2003-09-07 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Fixed bug of the getpapersize() function
returning the size of "Letter" when requesting the sixe of
"Half Letter".
2003-08-27 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-configure.in: When using "foomatic-configure -P -r"
recognize implicit classes as remotely defined printer (for
now this works only for root).
2003-08-26 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-configure.in: Let the information about the default
printer be included in the output of "foomatic-configure -P".
This makes the initial reading of configuration information by a
frontend much faster. The information will by in
$QUEUES[x]->{'queuedata'}{'default'}, which is 1 for the default
queue and 0 for the other queues. Added support for the "-r"
option with "foomatic-configure -P"
($QUEUES[x]->{'queuedata'}{'remote'} field indicates remote
queues). Retrieve the "Location" information of remotely defined
CUPS printers.
2003-08-24 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Fixed reading make and model name of the
printer from the PPD file to also work with the new Foomatic
PPDs ("*ShortNickName" linited to 32 characters and no comma
before the driver name).
2003-08-14 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-compiledb.in: Let PPD pre-compilation process not choke
on a driver entry with a non-existing printer (for example
mistyped) in its list.
2003-08-12 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-combo-xml.c: Pre-initialized pointers in the loadidlist()
function (thanks to Gwenole Beauchesne from MandrakeSoft).
2003-08-07 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-configure.in: HPOJ after 0.9 needs two slashes instead
of one in CUPS device URIs ("ptal://..."). Let
foomatic-configure do the correct thing independent whether the
user enters a "ptal" URI with one or two slashes.
2003-08-03 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm, foomatic-ppdfile.in, foomatic-configure.in,
USAGE: Added possibility to limit the length of GUI strings
("translations") in the generated PPD files to 39 characters,
so that the CUPS PostScript driver for Windows does not choke on
them.
2003-08-01 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm, README: Made it possible to define nested
composite options.
2003-07-21 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* README, configure.in, Makefile.in, foomatic-ppdload.in,
foomatic-ppdload.8.in: Removed the "foomatic-ppdload" tool as
generating XML data from PPD files is not needed any
more. "foomatic-rip" works also with manufacturer-supplied
PostScript PPDs.
* foomatic-perl-data.c: Let URL of manufacturer PPD also appear
in printer/driver combo output.
2003-07-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-perl-data.c: Fixed output of printer language info.
2003-07-17 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>

paper size list.
2003-07-02 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-perl-data.c: Added stuff needed for a web form to enter
printer data.
2003-06-26 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* configure.in, makeMan.in: Support for IRIX.
2003-06-25 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Remove "," and "+" from the "*NickName" and
"*ShortNickName" to make the PostScript drivers of Windows happy,
fix on auto-abbreviation of "*ShortNickName".
2003-05-09 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* README: Lots of small corrections.

Tag name: "foomatic-db-engine-3_0_0".
* README, USAGE, lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Updated for version 3.0.0.
2003-04-27 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* Makefile.in: Stop if an error occurs when building the PPD package.
2003-04-25 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-replaceoldprinterids.in: Changed default pattern on the
right side of the printer ID to "(?!\d)", which means that there
should be no further digit on the right. This is the right
choice in nearly every case.
* foomatic-compiledb.in: Make "foomatic-compiledb" working with
both old numerical and new clear-text printer IDs.
2003-04-23 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Auto-abbreviation of "*ShortNickName"s in
the PPD files so that they are not longer than 31 characters to
fulfill the Adobe specs.
2003-04-22 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* *: Tagged CVS for the release of foomatic-db-engine 3.0.0rc2.
Tag name: "foomatic-db-engine-3_0_0rc2".
* README, USAGE, Foomatic-Devel-Ideas.txt: Added missing
substitution for ampersand in XML files, updated for version
3.0.0rc2.
2003-04-21 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-perl-data.c, lib/Foomatic/DB.pm, foomatic-configure.in:
added restriction for allowed strings by means of lists of
allowed characters (XML: '<arg_allowedchars>...</arg_allowedchars>',
PPD: '*FoomaticRIPOptionAllowedChars <option>: "..."') and Perl
regular expressions (XML: '<arg_allowedregexp>...
</arg_allowedregexp>',
PPD: '*FoomaticRIPOptionAllowedRegExp <option>: "..."'). The
allowed characters are checked by a '/^[...]*$/' expression in
the Perl scripts, so ranges with '-', forbidden characters with
a leading '^', or special characters as '\w', '\d', '\x07', ...
are allowed. Regular expressions are applied via a '/.../'
expression. These restrictions are done for security reasons, to
avoid for example a string like "|| rm -rf * ||" in a command line
option.
The string 'None' is always mapped to the empty string,
as PPD files and the command of some spoolers do not accept an
empty string as argument value. For the default value of a string
option always an enumerated choice in the PPD file is created,
should the string contain characters which are not allowed in
choice names on PPD files ir not easy to enter on the command line,
the offending characters are replaced by '_' in the choice name,
the 'driverval' will still use the original string.
Several bug fixes done for the string options.
2003-04-13 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* *: Tagged CVS for the release of foomatic-db-engine 3.0.0rc1.
Tag name: "foomatic-db-engine-3_0_0rc1".

2003-04-12 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-perl-data.c, lib/Foomatic/DB.pm, foomatic-configure.in:
Introduced string and password options.
2003-04-02 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-perl-data.c, lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Introduced "Forced
composite options", composite options where the user cannot set
the individual member options, but only the composite option
(the user is forced to use the composite option). This allows
options acting at two or more places, for example a "PageSize"
option for a driver which is a filter translating GhostScript
bitmap output to the printer's language. One lets one member
option be an option inserting PostScript code for the page size
into the PostScript input data stream, and another member option
insert the correct bitmap size into the filter's command
line. The user sees only the composite option and sets the paper
size with it as usual. In the XML database, forced composite
options are defined as usual composite options, only difference
is that in the XML entry for the composite option
"<arg_forced_composite>" instead of "<arg_composite>" is used.
* README: Documented forced composite options.
2003-03-30 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-combo-xml.c: Allow printer/driver combo XML generation
also when the driver or option XML files still use old numerical
printer IDs (important for third-party drivers).
2003-03-28 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-replaceoldprinterids.in: Script to replace references
to old numerical PostGreSQL (or otherwise obsolete) printer IDs

2003-03-10 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-configure.in: Fixed bug of USB device files names not
correctly sorted by "cups_generate_usb_device_lists()" function.
This cause wrong make/model-related URIs to be assigned to the

insertion into the PPD file. Leading and trailing white space
is removed from every line and also leading and trailing blank
lines are removed.
2003-02-24 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm, foomatic-perl-data.c: Added support for
"<ppdentry>" tags to add arbitrary extra lines to the PPDs,
added support for "<general>" and "<ieee1284>" tags in the
"<autodetect>" section of a printer entry, Added "*1284DeviceID"
keyword to generated PPDs, made disrinction between color and

2003-02-03 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* *: Tagged CVS for the release of foomatic-db-engine 3.0.0beta1.
Tag name: "foomatic-db-engine-3_0_0beta1".
* README, USAGE, Foomatic-Devel-Ideas.txt: Updated for version
3.0.0beta1.
2003-01-31 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Fixed bug in the checking for missing long
names/translations in PPD files.
2003-01-30 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-configure.in: Fixed bug of "foomatic" flag in the Perl
data structure being set when the PPD is non-Foomatic.
2003-01-29 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm, foomatic-configure.in: Improved sorting of
options, make PPD parser sort the options when the PPD file is
non-Foomatic, Automatically fill in longnames/translations which
are missing in the PPD file, fixed stripping of "dossy" line
ends in PPD files, foomatic-configure can now also generate a
Perl data structure when a PPD file and not a Foomatic
printer/driver combo is specified on the command line, the Perl
output which foomatic-configure generates for Foomatic
printer/driver combos contains the composite options now.
2003-01-28 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* COPYING: Added file containing the GPL.
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: When parsing the PPD file with the
"ppdtoperl()" fonts, "ImageableArea", "PaperDimension", ... do
not entwr as options in the Perl data structure any more. In
addition, the parser puts also information about option groups
into the structure.
* foomatic-configure.in: Made foomatic-configure handle
"usb://<make>/<model>" URIs correctly.
2003-01-26 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-configure.in, lib/Foomatic/DB.pm, configure.in,
Makefile.in, makeDefaults.in, USAGE: Added support for
compressed PPD files ("file.ppd.gz") supplied with the "--ppd"
option of foomatic-configure.
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: For Foomatic PPDs let 'make' and 'model'
fields be put into the Perl data structure generated by
ppdtoperl().
2003-01-22 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-configure.in: Made URIs for printer connections ("-c"
option) absolutely compatible to CUPS (Now one can use
"parallel:...", "usb:...", and "serial:..."). Automatic
conversion of USB URIs to URIs referring to manufacturer, model,
and serial number of the printer under CUPS 1.1.17 or newer.
Support for the MTink daemon from http://xwtools.automatix.de/.
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Improved sorting of option choices. Made it
faster and removed the long list of resolutions. Let the
"normalizename()" function also support strings with more than
one number and with floating point numbers.
* configure.in, Makefile.in, makeDefaults.in: Added paths for
the new features of "foomatic-configure".
* README, USAGE: Documented the new features of
"foomatic-configure".
2003-01-20 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Fixes for Adobe compliance of the generated
PPD files: In "*Product: ..." IEEE model name has to be in
parantheses, "*ShortNickName: ..." must be different for all PPD
files, driver name added to achieve this, "*ShortNickName: ..."
entry has to come before "*NickName: ...".
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm, foomatic-perl-data.c: Now the "*Nickname"
and "*ModelName" entries of the PPD file get marked when the
recommended driver is used.
2003-01-07 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Fixed a typo in the calculation of the
values in the "*ImageableArea" lines of the PPD files.
2003-01-05 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-perl-data.c: Support for margin settings in a printer
entry of a driver XML file (combo-specific margins).
* foomatic-combo-xml.c: Bigger buffer for printer entry of
driver XML files (needed for margin info, especially of
Gimp-Print driver).
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Unprintable margins as defined in the XML
files are used for the "*ImageableArea" and "*HWMargins" lines in
the PPD files now.
2003-01-04 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-perl-data.c: Parse data about unprintable margins in
printer, driver, and combo XML files.
2002-12-31 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Allow boolean options to be used as member
options for composite options. To add the "From<Composite>"
choice, booleanm member options will be implemented as
enumerated choice options in the PPD file. In the
"<ev_driverval>" entries in the XML file the boolean options
have to be expressed as "Option=true", "Option=false", "Option"
(means "true"), or "noOption" (means "false").
2002-12-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* *: Tagged CVS for the release of foomatic-db-engine 2.9.1.
Tag name: "foomatic-db-engine-2_9_1".
* README, USAGE, Foomatic-Devel-Ideas.txt: Updated for version
2.9.1.
2002-12-17 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Allow settings for options which do not
exist for the current printer/driver combo in the choices of
composite options. These will be deleted from the composite
option in the final PPD file. With this it gets much easier
to set up the composite option, for example the one for the
"pxlmono" driver where some printers have the PJL option
"Economode" and some not. So one simply puts in settings for
"Economode" and these are only used for the appropriate
printers. So much less constraints are needed in the XML
file for the composite option.
2002-12-15 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Let "getppd()" put the member options of a
composite option into a main group and not into a subgroup of
the group where the composite option is located. Most frontends
do not support subroups.
2002-12-14 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: use longname of composite option in the
longnames of the "From<composite>" choices in the member options
(ex: "FromPrintoutMode" -> "Controlled by 'Printout Mode'").
2002-12-11 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Modified keyword lists for sorting options
and choices according to the new agreement that the composite
option for pre-made configurations has the name "PrintoutMode"
and the choices "Draft", "Normal", "High", "VeryHigh", "Photo",
with the modifiers ".Gray", and ".Mono".
2002-12-10 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Improvements for composite options.
Given highest priority in the sort order to the option name
"DocumentType", the name of the composite option forseen to
give quick access to the most important configurations.
if the translation (longname) for the name of an option, a
group, or a choice is missing, it will be generated from
the shortname, using the new function "longname()".
Do not take into account enumerated choice options with only one
choice when setting option group definitions in the PPD file.
Fixed closing of subgroups when the PPD file ends (there was
"*CloseGroup", not "*CloseSubGroup").
Suppress composite options on the "Execution details" web pages.
2002-12-09 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm, foomatic-perl-data.c: Introduced support for
composite options. The "genppd()" now does all steps to
correctly set up a composite option in the PPD file (Marking
composite option appropriately, letting its "code" be put into
the PostScript stream before the code of all members, putting
members in a group named after the composite option, add
"Controlled by '<Composite>'" setting to the
members). Limitations for now are:
- Composite options must be enumerated choice (will most
probably always be the case).
- Members must be enumerated choice (one could later add
boolean, then "genppd()" would need to convert that
boolean options into enumerated choice, that they can
have the additional choice).
- Members can be every execution style except composite
(otherwise the option groups would get messy).
The second and the third limitation only concern the PPD file
generation with the "genppd()" function, not the job processing
with "foomatic-rip".
2002-12-06 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Let parantheses being removed in the
suggested file names for the PPDs.
2002-12-05 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-preferred-driver.in: Added the "gdi" and "pbmtozjs"
drivers to the ranking in "foomatic-preferred-driver", tolerate
not having a preferred driver when there is a "Paperweight" with
drivers assigned to it.
2002-12-04 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* *: Tagged CVS for the release of foomatic-db-engine 2.9.0.
Tag name: "foomatic-db-engine-2_9_0".
2002-12-03 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm, foomatic-perl-data.c: First preparations
for collective options, let these options being skipped for
2.9.0 release, so that collective options can be added to the
database before 2.9.1 without 2.9.0 breaking. Let options with
unknown execution style being skipped in general.
2002-11-29 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* *: Tagged CVS for the release of foomatic-db-engine 2.9.0pre1.
Tag name: "foomatic-db-engine-2_9_0pre1".
* README: Added list of implemented and planned features for
Foomatic 3.0.
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Fixed calls of "dossy" line ends removal
("undossify();") when reading the PPD file and quoted the
asterisk in "/^\*End/".
2002-11-28 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* Makefile.in, configure.in: Fixed connection to the other Foomatic
packages in both regular and "inplace" installation.
Insert absolute paths for the Perl library and database locations
in the "inplace" installation.
Set link to "foomatic-rip" into the source directory when
installing "inplace", so one can start all programs from
one directory.
Let files of "foomatic-templates" directory be installed into
/usr/share/foomatic/templates, so that "foomatic-addpjloptions"
also works with a regular installation (worked only "inplace"
before).
* makeDefaults.in: Removed paths for old src/*omatic filters,
added path for "foomatic-rip" and for PPR daemon
("foomatic-configure" needs the daemon to check the PPR version).
Insert absolute paths for the database location ($libdir) in the
"inplace" installation.
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Improved header text of the PPD files:
GPL, Foomatic 2.9 URL, "foomatic-rip", download instructions.
When an option has only one choice and therefore is described
only with "*Foomatic" keywords in the PPD file, the "*End" was
not inserted when the option code needed more than one line.
* foomatic-configure.in: Used path from Defaults.pm for calls of
"foomatic-rip" when generating PDQ driver files.
* foomatic-addpjloptions.8.in: Updated path in "FILES" section.
* README, USAGE, TODO: Updated pacckage documentation for the
Foomatic 2.9.0 release.
* etc/printcap: Removed this file, it is not needed for the
package.
2002-11-27 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Removed the generator functions for the
old Perly Foomatic 2.0 PPDs, old-style CUPS PPDs, lpdomatic/
directomatic printer description files, PDQ driver files,
and MagicFilter printer definition files.
Added functions to parse the new Perl-free Foomatic 2.9 PPD
files, to read out and update the option defaults and the
postpipe.
In the "Execution Details" web page generation taken into
account that foomatic-rip now allows the same spot letter ("%A",
"%B", ...) being more than once in the prototype so that option
settings can act on several points of the command line.
* lib/Foomatic/GrovePath.pm: Removed because it is not needed any
more.
* foomatic-configure.in: Adapted to the new concept of
foomatic-rip and PPD files. Removed the generation of combo XML
files in /etc/foomatic/.
* foomatic-compiledb.in: Removed support for all output file types
except PPD and XML.
* foomatic-datafile.in, foomatic-datafile.1.in: Removed, we have
foomatic-ppdfile as replacement.
* foomatic-ppdfile.in, foomatic-ppdfile.1.in: Replacement for
foomatic-datafile, produces only PPD files, no other file types
* foomatic-compiledb.1.in, foomatic-configure.1.in: Updated man
pages.
* Makefile.in, configure.in: Adapted to the name change
"foomatic-datafile" -> "foomatic-ppdfile".
2002-11-14 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Fixed PostScript code for custom paper
sizes.
2002-11-07 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Let "foomatic-rip" instead of "cupsomatic"
being used as CUPS filter defined in the "*cupsFilter" line of
the new PPD files.
2002-11-03 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Fixed small bug in PPD generation correcting
a "CmdLine" keyword, added some comments.
2002-10-29 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Do not add "*VariablePaperSize: False" to
the PPD file when variable page sizes are supported.
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Encoding of option code: When splitting long
lines, mark the end with "&&" to distinguish between split lines
and newlines. Make colon and opening quotes of a PPD line with
code always being in the same line as the keyword.
2002-10-28 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-datafile.in: Changed meaning of the "-t" settings:
"cups" produces a PPD-O-Matic PPD now and "cupsold" the old
CUP-O-Matic PPD. All other choices behave the same as before.
This leads to the KDE Printing Manager generating PPD-O-Matic
PPDs.
* foomatic-datafile.1.in: Updated man page to mention the choices
"cupsold", "lprng", and "direct" for the "-t" option of
"foomatic-datafile".
2002-10-23 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-preferred-driver.in: Added new drivers: "hpijs-rss",
"lxm3200-tweaked", "lz11".
2002-10-22 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: After Grant Taylor discovered a huge
security hole in the original concept of the Perl-free PPDs,
changed to a new concept. The former concept was that the
GhostScript command line and all snippets to insert into the
command line are stuffed into the PostScript data by the client
(so having the PPD file on the server was not required). This
leads to the case that every user can run arbitrary programs on
the server. In the new concept the client stuffs only key/value
pairs for the option settings into the PostScript data (as in
Foomatic 2.0.x), the server will read the command line
information from the PPD file and build the command line
according to the settings in the PostScript data. The PPD files
do not contain any important information in comment lines, so
that if a program strips off the comments, nothing will break.
All information is stored in Adobe-compliant PPD structures and
only the really needed information is stored, with a minimum of
redundancy, so the new PPDs are more easily customizable.
2002-10-20 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Introduced new function "getppd()" which
generates the new PPDs which do not need the Perl data eny more
(see discussion with Johannes Meixner on the foomatic-devel list
on linuxprinting.org), started option group support (use
"<arg_group>group/subgroup</arg_group>" tag in "<arg_execution>"
section of option XML files), option groups work, but there are
no "longnames"/translations yet. Fixed some typos.
* foomatic-datafile.in: When one uses "foomatic-datafile -t ppd
...", the new Perl-less PPD files are generated.
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Fixed "*ImageableArea" and "*PaperDimension"
in the PPD-O-Matic PPD files. It got broken when introducing the
code for variable paper size support.
2002-10-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-perl-data.c, lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Support for custom
page sizes. A choice named "Custom" in the "PageSize" option is
considered as custom page size. Its "<ev_driverval>" should
contain a placeholder "%0" for the page width and "%1" for the
page height (both in points). Alternatively the
"<ev_driverval>" can contain two zeros ("0") from which the
first will be replaced by the page width and the second by the
page height. PPD files will get Adobe-complient for the custom
page size support. So CUPS and the printing dialog of Mac OS X
should have no problems with the custom paper size. Now custom
paper sizes are available for all spoolers:
CUPS: lpr -P huge -o PageSize=Custom.500x750cm bigposter.ps
LPRng: lpr -P huge -Z PageSize=Custom.500x750cm bigposter.ps
GNUlpr: lpr -P huge -o PageSize=Custom.500x750cm bigposter.ps
LPD: lpr -P huge -JPageSize=Custom.500x750cm bigposter.ps
PPR: ppr -P huge -F "*PageSize Custom" -i 500x750cm bigposter.ps
PDQ: pdq -P huge -oPageSize_Custom -aPageWidth=500
-aPageHeight=750 -oPageSizeUnit_cm bigposter.ps
No spooler: directomatic -P huge -o PageSize=Custom.500x750cm
bigposter.ps
* foomatic-perl-data.c, lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Support for unique
PC file names ("*PCFileName" in PPD file) in the Foomatic
PPD files ("<pcmodel>" 6-character string in printer entry,
"<pcdriver>" 2-character string in driver entry).
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Adobe-compliant PPD file header entries.
* README: Documentation for custom page sizes, PC file name
fragments ("<pcmodel>", "<pcdriver>), PostScript file sections
("<arg_section>") in XML database.
2002-10-14 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-perl-data.c, lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: "*OrderDependency"
lines in PPD files, started option group support
("<arg_section>" and "<arg_group>" tags in the "<arg_execution>"
section of the option XML files).
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: "*End" lines after PPD option setting entries
with multiple-line PostScript code.
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Support for custom paper sizes as described
in section 6.3 of Adobe's PPD 4.3 specification. If a
printer/driver combo has a choice named "Custom" in its PageSize
option, or a paper size which has at least one dimension being
zero, the combo is assumed to support custom paper sizes and the
PPD file gets supplied with the appropriate definitions. With
CUPS one can specify arbitrary paper sizes on the command line
then
lpr -P huge -o PageSize=Custom.500x750cm bigposter.ps
2002-10-10 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* *: Set release number of all files to 3.0.
2002-10-09 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* README, USAGE: Updated documentation according to the splitted
packages.
2002-10-08 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* *: Splitted Foomatic into four packages:
- foomatic-filters: Filter scripts used by the spoolers to
convert the incoming PostScript data into the printer's
native format using a printer/driver specific PPD file
- foomatic-db-engine: Foomatic's database engine generates
PPD files from the data in Foomatic's XML database. It also
contains scripts to directly generate print queues and handle
jobs.
- foomatic-db: The collected knowledge about printers, drivers,
and driver options in XML files, used by foomatic-db-engine
to generate PPD files.
- foomatic-db-hpijs: Foomatic XML data generator for HP's HPIJS
driver.
This package is foomatic-db-engine.
* configure.in, Makefile.in: Removed all portions not needed for
foomatic-db-engine.
* configure.in, Makefile.in, makeDefaults.in: Prepared the package
for using the Foomatic database from an external package
(usually foomatic-db).
* configure.in: Fixed check to set /etc instead of /usr/local/etc
as $sysconfdir.
* lib/Foomatic/DB_perl_xml.pm: This file is obsolete, removed.
2002-10-07 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* data-generators/hpijs/hpijs-printermap,
db/source/printer/HP-Business_Inkjet_3000.xml: The HP Business
Inkjet 3000 does not work with the HPIJS driver.
* db/source/printer/122496.xml,
db/source/printer/HP-DesignJet_750.xml: Removed hint that IJS
driver has problem with large paper sizes. This is fixed.
2002-10-06 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/opt/*: Added "largeformat-PageSize.xml" special page
size option for large format printers (drivers "dnj650c" and
"Postscript"). Now Foomatic supports paper sizes larger than A3
with these printers.
2002-10-05 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/*/*: Added the "lz11" driver entry (enhanced version
of "cZ11" for the Lexmark Z11 printer).
* db/source/printer/*: Fixed auto-detection info of the HP Color
LaserJet 4500 and removed wrong auto-detection info from the
Kyocera FS-1200.
2002-10-03 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/*/*: Added driver entry "lxm3200-tweaked", the
"lxm3200" driver modified to also support the Lexmark Z31 and
Z12.
* db/source/printer/*: Rated the Lexmark Z31 as "Mostly" and the
Z12 as "Partially", due to the "lxm3200-tweaked" driver.
* db/source/printer/Epson-Stylus_CX3200.xml: Changed rating to
"Paperweight" (nothing known about this device yet).
* db/source/*/*: Fixed "stc300.upp" driver, execution information
was missing, new URL.
* db/source/*/*: Added the Epson MJ 520C to the list of supported
printers of the "stcolor", "stcany.upp", and "stc300.upp"
drivers. It is unclear whether it works with Gimp-Print.
2002-10-02 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/printer/*: Added more japanese Epson inkjets: Epson CL
700, 750, Epson EM 900C, 900CN, 930C, 930CN, MC 2000, 7000,
9000, MJ 520C, 5100C, 6000C, 8000C, PM 760C, 800C, 820C, 850PT,
2200C, 3300C, 5000C, PX 7000, 9000.
* db/source/printer/*: Added the Epson Stylus Photo 825, 1290S,
EX3, Stylus CX3200.
* db/source/printer/*: Removed broken printer entries for the
Epson PM 760C, 770C, 800C, 820C/3300C, "Stylus PM760", "Stylus
PM820".
* db/source/printer/*: Re-rated the Epson Stylus Photo 785, 825,
875, 895, 915, and 925 from "Perfectly" to "Mostly" because one
cannot access the photo card readers with free software. Also
updated the text appropriately.
* db/source/printer/Epson-Stylus_Pro*: Removed hint that IJS
driver has problem with large paper sizes. This is fixed.
* db/source/driver/filter*, db/source/opt/jap*: Removed the
"filter*" drivers. I don't know where one can download these
drivers.
* db/source/driver/PM*: Updated the driver entries to use the new,
correct printer entries.
2002-10-01 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/printer/*: Added japanese Epson inkjets: Epson MC
5000, 1000, PM 700C, 730C, 750C, 770C, 780C, 790PT, 880C, 950C,
2000C, 3000C, 3500C, 4000PX, 7000C, 9000C, 10000.
2002-09-30 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* data-generators/hpijs/hpijs-printermap, db/source/printer/*:
Bugfix: The HP DeskJet 612x printers do not support full-bleed
printing.
* data-generators/hpijs/hpijs-printermap, db/source/*/*: Added
the HP Business Inkjet 3000, DesignJet 5500, 5500ps, LaserJet
5100, Color LaserJet 2500, 5500.
2002-09-29 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* data-generators/hpijs-rss/*: Added support for HPIJS patched by
Matthias Bunte and Richard Spencer-Smith (see
http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/printing/hpijs/). The
driver entry name is "hpijs-rss".
* data-generators/hpijs/hpijs-generator: Mentioned that the
current Foomatic data is also for HPIJS 1.2.2.
* data-generators/hpijs/hpijs-printermap, db/source/printer/*:
Added the HP DeskJet 450, 3320, 6122, 6127, PhotoSmart P230, PSC
2150.
* data-generators/hpijs*/hpijs*-generator: Corrected "Best
Grayscale" modes for the HP DeskJet 350, 6xxC series, and the
Apollo printers, the mode supports only 600x300 (not 300x300)
dpi and all except the DeskJet 350 and the 63xC series use
both and not only the black cartridge.
* db/source/printer/*: Changed recommended driver to "hpijs-rss"
when it was "hpijs" before (the patched version has better
output quality).
* db/source/printer/*: Raised ratings of all "DJ9xx"-class HP
inkjets without fax facility from "Mostly" to
"Perfectly". Updated the texts of all "DJ9xx"-class models
(because of the patched HPIJS, "hpijs-rss").
* db/source/printer/*: Raised ratings of the HP PPA printers
(supported by the "pnm2ppa" driver from "Mostly" to "Perfectly",
the driver supports their full functionality.
* db/source/driver/PostScript.xml: Added link to Kurt Pfeifle's
tutorial chapter about PostScript to the text of the
"Postscript" driver entry.
2002-09-27 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* src/cupsomatic.pl.in: Made command line option list only be
logged in debug mode. Mac OS X adds very many options to the
CUPS filter chain and so the option list gets longer than 1024
bytes and this CUPS cannot handle in its error_log file.

download place.
2002-09-11 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* data-generators/hpijs/hpijs-generator: The 300-dpi normal mode
for the "LJMono" device class uses 600 dpi internally and so
does not work on the 300-dpi-only printers as the HP LaserJet 4L.
Restricted these printers to use the 300-dpi draft mode which
does real 300 dpi.
2002-08-31 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>

Now option settings stuffed into the PPD files have priority
against settings done via command line options given with the
printing command. This is done to make sure that settings given
in applications (also on clients with other spooler/OS) have are
taken into account.
* src/cupsomatic.pl.in: Numerical options give on the command line
and not being exactly of a value given as choice in the
PPD-O-Matic PPD file are now overriding the PPD defaults which
"pstops" inserts into the PostScript, but they are overridden
when an application stuffs settings into the PostScript file.

* db/source/*/*: Corrected "hpijs" entry for the HP 2500C/2500CN,
they belong to the "DJ9xxVIP" group (as the HP DeskJet 990C), so
they work perfectly with "hpijs". Replaced model string "HP
BUSINESS INKJET 2250" by "DESKJET 990", the former string is
not recognized by "hpijs" (in contrary to the driver's
documentation).
* db/source/*/*: Added the Sony IJP-V100 multi-function device.
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Added '*PSVersion: "(3010.000) 653"' entry
for GhostScript 6.53 to the PPD files. In the "getpapersize()"
function let the ISO B sizes be returned, when the paper size

2002-04-09 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Made the "sortargs()" and "sortvals()"
functions working with Perl 5.0x. The "sort()" function of these
old Perl versions only supports the two items to compare being
given to the copmaring function via the global variables "$a"
and "$b", and not via "@_". linuxprinting.org runs Perl 5.005.
Made also the choices for the options better sorted, especially
Letter/A4 paper sizes in the beginning of the list, resolutions
and "Upper"/"Middle"/"Lower" trays correctly sorted, "Default"
in the beginning of the lists.
2002-04-08 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-perl-data.c: New C program to parse the XML code to
generate Perl data structures from it. Uses libxml (libxml 2.x
recommended because otherwise XML files beginning with a blank
line cannot be read).
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Removed disk cache and XML/Grove Perl
library usage completely, all XML handling is done by C code
now. Added paper sizes of the Dymo-CoStar/Avery label printers
to the "getpapersize()" function, now the "ImageableArea" and
"PaperDimension" entries in the PPD files are built correctly
for these printers. Added possibility to output a combo XML file
with the option default settings set to the values of the queue
currently worked on.
* lib/Foomatic/DB_perl_xml.pm: Stored old XML/Grove/disk cache
version of the Foomatic database library. Added documentation
for this file as comments in its beginning.
* foomatic-configure, foomatic-printjob: Removed "grove-pathval"
expression from "use Foomatic::DB.pm" line.
* foomatic-configure: When a printer queue is set up or modified,
the option default settings are also set in the
/etc/foomatic/<queue>.xml.gz printer/driver combo XML file. So
frontends can also read the option settings from the XML file.
* foomatic-ppdload: Re-linked to old lib/Foomatic/DB_perl_xml.pm,
Perl-XML/Grove-free version not implemented yet.
* foomatic-compiledb, foomatic-compiledb.8.in,
foomatic-compiledb.1.in: In the cache-less time this has a new
purpose: It generates data files for a chosen spooler (or combo
XML files) and for either selected or all drivers. Moved man
page to section 1, foomatic-compiledb works from a normal user
account now (due to the removed cache).
* foomatic-datafile.8.in, foomatic-datafile.1.in: Moved man
page to section 1, foomatic-datafile works from a normal user
account now (due to the removed cache).
* foomatic-fix-xml: Remove leading blank lines from the XML files
in the local Foomatic database. The leading blank lines make the
XML files not readable by libxml 1.x.
* Makefile: Added compilation and installation of
foomatic-perl-data.c.
* Makefile, makeDefault: Commented out all cache-related stuff.
* Makefile: Moved foomatic-datafile and foomatic-compiledb from
/usr/sbin to /usr/bin.
* README, USAGE: Foomatic version 1.9 (Foomatic without
Perl-XML/Grove and without disk cache).
* db/source/*/*: Replaced all occurences of a cross character
(used in resolutions as "600x300 dpi") by an "x" (the letter
"X"). libxml chokes on the cross. Removed leading blank lines
from the XML files, because this breaks libxml 1.x.
2002-04-03 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Added new paper sizes of Gimp-Print to the
paper size table of the "getpapersize" function, fixed a bug of
wrong calculation of "wXXXhYYY" and "XXXxYYY" paper sizes in the
same function.
2002-03-29 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>

multi-function devices which need HPOJ or the modified printer.c
kernel module to be able to print via USB.
* db/source/printer/*: Updated text of the HP PhotoSmart 1[012]xx
printers because they need the modified USB printer.c kernel
module from the HPOJ website to work together with HPOJ.

2002-03-20 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/printer/*: Updated text of many HP and Apollo printers
and moved many of them from "Mostly" to "Perfectly".
* db/source/printer/*: Updated text of HP OfficeJet G and K series
because they need HPOJ also when one only wants to print via
USB.
* db/source/*/*: Added the Apollo P-1220 Barbie, P1250, P2250,
P-2550, and P-2650. Updated the driver data appropriately.
2002-03-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/printer/*: Updated data for the "hpijs" driver to fit
to HPIJS 1.0.4. Modified printer entries appropriate to the new
features ("hpijs" also recommended on large format printers,
DeskJet 990 and compatibles work "Perfectly").
2002-03-18 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/printer/*: Modified text of HP LaserJet 1200, USB
printing only works with HPOJ.
2002-03-17 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-combo-xml.c: Introduced two debug output levels ("-v",
"-vv"). Now I do not need a special debug version any more.
2002-03-17 Manfred Wassmann <manolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de>
* makeDefaults: Added flag $DEBUG to enable debug messages from
Perl modules. It is not exported by default, you can import it
by adding qw(:DEFAULT $DEBUG) to the "use Foomatic::Defaults"
clause.
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Cache is disabled if CACHEDIR is set to an
empty string at compile time, ie. "make CACHEDIR=".
2002-03-17 Manfred Wassmann <manolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de>
* debian/*: Docs README, TODO, USAGE were not included in the
debian package.
Changed handling of local changes by the debconf interface.
2002-03-16 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/printer/*: Modified text of HP LaserJet 31x0
multi-function devices, because of the available code pieces for
a free software driver for these models.
2002-03-14 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>

for LPRng, the permissions for the /var/log/lp-errs file are set
correctly now.
2002-03-05 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/*/*: Added Lexmark E210 laser printer (Samsung ML-4500
clone, "gdi" driver).
* foomatic-configure: Fixed bug that of float options in
PPD-O-Matic PPD files only the integer part of the default value
was read.
* foomatic-gswrapper: Fixed Red Hat bug #58319
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58319).
Some PostScript files cannot be handled by "gs ... - < file",
but they need "gs ... /dev/fd/0 < file".
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Fixed quoting for PDQ, now more complicated
driver command lines with quotes and shell script variables also
work with the PDQ-O-Matic config file generator. Assured that for
every call of GhostScript "foomatic-gswrapper" is used, to fix
Red Hat bug #58319 for all drivers, especially "Postscript".
* src/*omatic.pl: Assured that for every call of GhostScript
"foomatic-gswrapper" is used, to fix Red Hat bug #58319 for all
drivers, especially "Postscript".
2002-03-04 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/*/*: Added new HP multi-function devices: HP OfficeJet
D135, D145, D155, LaserJet 3300 MFP, 3320 MFP, 3320N MFP, 3330
MFP. Updated driver and option entries appropriately.
* db/source/*/*: Fixed default driver for HP LaserJet 6P, added
HP DeskJet 610CL to the "hpijs" driver, fixed text for the
HP DeskJet 1125C.
* src/lpdomatic.pl: Replaced "if ( @pjlprepend > 0 )" by "if (
@pjlprepend > 1 )" so that PJL headers are only used when really
a PJL options is there. Many printers are listed as PJL-capable
in the database, but in reality they are not.
2002-03-03 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* src/cupsomatic.pl, src/ppromatic.pl: Fixed reading default option
choices with a "+" from the PPD file.
2002-03-02 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/*/*: Fixed the entry for the Brother MFC-9600, it does
600 dpi with the "hl1250" driver.
2002-03-01 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* src/cupsomatic.pl: Disabled accounting for the "Postscript"
driver, it leads to an extra blank page coming out with every
job.
* db/source/*/*: Added Canon S100, S200, S300, S500, S630,
BJC-2110, Lexmark Optra C710, HP DeskJet 200, DeskJet 841C,

2002-02-06 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Cache files created by "foomatic-combo-xml"
were not read sometimes, fixed.
2002-02-05 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* Makefile: Added "remove_trash" target to remove temporary and
backup files created by editors and the patch utility. In
"testing_clean" target added "-f" to the "rm" command for the
links to the cache so that make does not stop with an error when
the links are not there.
2002-02-04 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* Makefile, src/*omatic, filter.conf: Modified Foomatic to only
make the filter scripts out of the source files in src/. Fixed
bugs on filter script source files: "enscript -b <title>", not
"enscript -b=<title>"; empty title gave a line on the top of the
page when using "mpage". Added "-J" (job title) option to
directomatic. Added sample filter.conf.
* cupsomatic, ppromatic, lpdomatic, directomatic: Removed obsolete
filter scripts.
* directomatic.1.in: Added "-J" (job title) option.
2002-02-03 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>

* debian/rules: Set LPRNG_CONF=/etc/lprng/lpd.conf.
* src/lpdomatic.pl: Integrated changes from lpdomatic 1.10.
Overwrite PATH in INPLACE version too. Changed revision to 2.1
to avoid $lomversion clashes with the old scripts.
* src/cupsomatic.pl, src/directomatic.pl, src/ppromatic.pl:
Bootstrapped from corresponding filter scripts.
* src/Makefile: cupsomatic, directomatic and ppromatic get also
built.
2002-02-02 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* Makefile, makeDefaults, foomatic-configure, USAGE, README: Added
support for HPOJ (http://hpoj.sourceforge.net/, low-level driver
for HP's multi-function devices) with "ptal:/..." URIs.
2002-01-31 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm (get_overview_xml): Create directory, like
get_overview_grove does. Also fixed quoting.
2002-01-30 Manfred Wassmann <manolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de>
* lpdomatic: Corrected the path to the configuration file.
2002-01-29 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-kitload, foomatic-kitload.8.in: Added "-d" option to
install the kit into a staging area from which a package will
be built (as "DESTDIR=..." in GNU automake/autoconf). This is
a patch from Roger Leigh.
* makeDefaults: Added the possibility to set the cache directory
alternatively with FOOMATIC_CACHEDIR instead of CACHEDIR.
* cupsomatic, ppromatic, lpdomatic, directomatic: Modified parser
for options embedded in the job data so that option and value
names can contain all printable characters except white space
and "=". This fixed a problem with the "Color Mode" option of
the "pcl3" driver.
2002-01-28 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/*/*: Added the HP LaserJet 3P with PCL5 extension.
2002-01-27 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* USAGE: Minor text modifications for XPP 1.1.
* db/source/*/*: Renamed the database entry for the Canon LIPS-II+
from "Canon-LIPS-II+" to "Canon-LIPS-IIplus". With the "+" in its
ID the printer entry was not accessible on the linuxprinting.org
web site.
2002-01-24 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-gswrapper: Replaced "-sOutputFile=|cat>&3" by
"-sOutputFile=/dev/fd/3" to make foomatic-gswrapper working with
all versions of GhostScript, of the shell, and of Unix.
2002-01-24 Manfred Wassmann <manolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de>
* foomatic-configure.1.in: Corrected manpage section in header.
* foomatic-kitload.8.in: Filled some gaps.
* lpdomatic.8.in: Describe how to print the docs.

2002-01-22 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lpdomatic: Cleaned up user-editable settings part.
2002-01-21 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/opt/160.xml: Added Epson EPL lasers to constraint in
"Mode" option of "pxlmono"/"pxlcolor", they print only in bw.
* db/source/printer/*: The Epson EPL-5900/5900PS works perfectly
with "pxlmono", updated text, rating, and recommended driver.
* db/source/printer/*: Raised the rating for the Lexmark Z42 and
Compaq IJ1200 to "Mostly", to reflect the experience of the
author of "drv_z42" with these printers.
* db/source/printer/*: Corrected the ratings/texts for the Epson
Stylus Pro 7000/7500/9000/9500/10000.
* lpdomatic/makeDefaults: Modified the config file support to not
need a Perl library to make it easier to install lpdomatic without
installing the whole Foomatic package.
2002-01-20 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Added '*PSVersion: "(3010.000) 652"' entry
for GhostScript 6.52 to the PPD files.
2002-01-20 Manfred Wassmann <manolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de>
* lpdomatic: Corrected the use of ConfigFile.pm.
* makeDefaults: Write "1;" at the end of ConfigFile.pm.
* foomatic-configure: Added $J to lprng filter options, (prints
job title with a2ps).
* makeDefaults: Added code to write lib/Foomatic/ConfigFile.pm.
* lpdomatic: Adds --center-title=$optJ to a2ps command line.
Enscriptcommand and debug flag can be specified in a config file
in $ETCDIR/filter.conf. Syntax is tag\s*:\s*value.
Added tabulator/indentation settings for emacs.
2002-01-18 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/printer/Epson-AcuLaser_C1000.xml: Added the Epson
AcuLaser C1000 (Paperweight).
* db/source/*/*: Applied a patch by Tim Waugh (twaugh at redhat
dot com) which makes the Perl one-liners for paper tray
selection on PCL laser printers working on both Perl 5.6.0 and
5.6.1. The one-liners are in the GhostScript command lines of
the drivers entries for the PCL laser drivers ("lj5gray",
"ljet4", ...).
* db/source/printer/*: Updated text of the Epson EPL-5900/5900PS
because of a bug in Epson's driver.
2002-01-17 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/printer/*: Added new Epson laser printer models:
EPL-5900, EPL-N2120.
* db/source/*/*: Added new driver entries "epl2120" and "epl5900"
for Epson-Kowa laser driver 1.0.4.
2002-01-16 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* cupsomatic, lpdomatic, ppromatic, directomatic: Auto-detection
of file converters a2ps, enscript, mpage, usage of the printer's
paper size setting for conversion to PostScript, with a2ps the
possibility to print also PDF, images, etc with LPD/LPRng and
with directomatic (CUPS and PPR do this by themselves, they use
the converter only for the docs pages).
* foomatic-configure: Fixed bug of "-Q" with PPR not working for
non-root users. CUPS queues are automatically set up with
PPD-O-Matic PPD files now (use "--oldppd" to get CUPS-O-Matic
PPD files), for PPD the PPD file is not stored twice any more, a
symbolic link is set instead.
* README, ChangeLog, foomatic-configure.1.in: Updated documentation
to take into account the new "--oldppd" option.
* db/source/*/*: HP removed the "HP only" clause from the license
of HPIJS, so HPIJS is free now.
2002-01-15 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Fixed some incompatibilities in the PDQ file
generator which prevented HPIJS 1.0 from working with PDQ.
2002-01-14 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-configure: Fixed bug of foomatic-configure stopping on
directomatic printer configuration when there is no directomatic
config file.
2002-01-13 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* cupsomatic/ppromatic: The PPD default values of float options were
not read correctly, fixed.
2002-01-12 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/*/*: Added HP e-printer e20 to HPIJS 1.0 datafiles.
* db/source/printers/*: Removed "Unverified" flags and cleaned up
text in many datafiles of HP inkjet printers.
* foomatic-preferred-driver: Only set new default driver when the
current one is not OK.
* foomatic-configure: Insert ":ppdfile=<PPD file name>:\" lines
into /etc/printcap (for LPD/GNUlpr/LPRng), so that the graphical
printing frontend GPR finds the PPD-O-Matic PPD files
automatically.
2002-01-11 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/*/*: Added "bjc250gs" driver and Canon BJC-250ex
printer.
2002-01-10 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-gswrapper: Replaced "-sOutputFile=|cat >&3" by
"-sOutputFile=|cat>&3" because the second one also works when
"gs" is a wrapper script around the real GhostScript binary.
2002-01-09 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* cupsomatic: Numerical options given on the command line were
ignored when using a PPD-O-Matic PPD file for the CUPS queue.
Fixed.
2002-01-08 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* Makefile, makeDefaults, lpdomatic.8.in: Moved lpdomatic back to
/usr/sbin.
2002-01-06 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-configure: Added support for direct, spooler-less
printing with directomatic, added auto-detection of PPR.
* directomatic: Added support for having a default printer.
* foomatic-datafile: Added "lprng" as possible datafile type (gives
the same result as "lpd").
* foomatic-configure.1.in: Completed the list of possible options,
corrected "-D" options ("Default", not "Delete").
* foomatic-printjob.1.in: Corrected command line for printing.
* README, USAGE: Updated to take into account all recent changes.
2002-01-06 Manfred Wassmann <manolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de>
* foomatic-configure: Bails out if it encounters a lprng style
printcap, like those created by lprngtool, as it would hose it
otherwise. This needs a better solution.
* foomatic-configure.1.in: Added description of the above problem.
* debian/control: The conflict with the cupsomatic-ppd package is
indicated.
2002-01-05 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* Makefile, makeDefaults: Added definitions for PPR and for
spooler-less printing.
* db/source/driver/Postscript.xml: Updated the text to also
mention that PPD files can be used also with the PPR spooler or
the GPR printing frontend.
2002-01-04 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* ppromatic: Made ppromatic stuffing the PostScript code of all
PostScript options into the job, in contrary to CUPS PPR only
stuffs in the code of options explicitly given on the command
line or in the "Switchset".
* foomatic-configure: Added PPR support.
2002-01-03 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* ppromatic: Made it possible to have PPD files in other
directories than /usr/share/ppr/PPDFiles, let ppromatic eat up
data on STDIN to make documentation printing ("-i docs") working
correctly. When original job is not completely read, PPR does
not dequeue the print job and stops the printer because it
assumes that the job was not correctly printed.
2002-01-02 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/*/*: Added Compaq IJ1200 (Z42 clone), assigned Lexmark
5700 drivers to Compaq IJ900 (5700 clone). Fixed text of Lexmark
5700.
* db/source/opt/hpijs-Quality.xml: Fixed typo in human-readable
text for 600-dpi-CMYK-normal quality.
2002-01-01 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/opt/hpijs-PageSize.xml: Worked around a bug in HPIJS
1.0 which breaks the paper size setting via PostScript commands.
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Added photo paper sizes for the HPIJS 1.0
driver to the "getpapersize()" function.
2002-01-01 Manfred Wassmann <manolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de>
* debian/rules: see debian/changelog for details.
2001-12-31 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>

"cZ11" and "c2070" drivers.
2001-12-30 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/printer/Epson-EPL-5800L.xml: Added the Epson EPL-5800L
laser winprinter.
2001-12-23 Manfred Wassmann <manolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de>

manpage.
* lpdomatic.1.in: Made this manpage useful.
* foomatic-gswrapper.1.in: Minor editing.
2001-12-20 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/*/hpijs*: Updated the entries for the "hpijs" driver
to the new 1,0 release.

2001-12-17 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Applied a patch from Crutcher Dunnavant
(crutcher@redhat.com) which sets all Perl variables in shell
command lines ($poid, $drv. $libdir, ...) into single quotes, so
that nothing breaks when a strange printer/driver ID or a
strangely named directory is used.
* db/source/driver/*: Made Perl one-liner for paper tray selection
in PCL laser printer driver XML files less memory-consuming.
2001-12-16 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/printer/Minolta-PagePro_1100L.xml,

the cache before and use it, if appropriate files
available. Printer ID set into single quotes in the
"foomatic-combo-xml" command line, to not break with the new
clear text printer IDs (Thanks to Crutcher Dunnavant,

2001-12-11 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Made the "PaperDimension", "ImageableArea",
and "PageRegion" entries in CUPS and generic PPD files working
if the "PageSize" option is not the standard PostScript option,
but a command line option or something else (as in the
"ppmtocpva" or in the "pentaxpj" drivers.
* db/source/opt/2.xml, db/source/driver/c2050.xml: Drivers
"c2050", "cZ11", and "cZ11somsom" had no "PageSize" option,
fixed.
2001-12-11 Manfred Wassmann <manolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de>

2001-12-09 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* cupsomatic: Added support for the accounting facility of CUPS.
Only works with $debug = 0 and when GhostScript is rendering
the PostScript.
* foomatic-ppdload, lib/Foomatic/PPD.pm: "new PPD" and "new
UIElem" replaced by "new Foomatic::PPD" and "new
Foomatic::UIElem", otherwise the "new" methods will not be found
in the respective libraries.
* db/source/printer/Lexmark-Z43.xml: Updated the comments.
2001-12-07 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* directomatic: New filter for spooler-less printing. See in the
comments in the beginning how to use it.
* Makefile: Added definitions for PPR, added directomatic
and ppromatic to be installed
* makeDefaults: Added definitions for PPR, moved lpdomatic to
/usr/bin
* lpdomatic.1.in: lpdomatic in /usr/bin => "man 1 lpdomatic"
* foomatic-datafile: Added "direct" data file type for
Direct-O-Matic
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Modified comments of the LPD-O-Matic printer
description file (generated by the function "getlpddata()")
because these files are also used for Direct-O-Matic.
2001-12-07 Manfred Wassmann <foomatic@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de>
* Makefile: Split the install target into install-bin and
install-db. Added PHONY target to mark targets not related to
real files.

packages.
2001-12-06 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* cupsomatic: Corrected link to documentation web page in the
comments in the beginning of the script.
2001-12-04 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* cupsomatic, lpdomatic, ppromatic: Cleaned up multi-processing,
now the parent processes wait for their children to finish and
the interprocess communication pipes are closed after use. The
main process waiting for their children to exit fixes especially
a problem of lpdomatic: LPRng resetted the printer port when the
lpdomatic was ready, but in reality lpdomatic sub-processes were
still working on the job, which lead to incomplete pages being
printed (Bug #486096 on SourceForge). Also updated the comments
in the beginning of the files
* foomatic-datafile: Added PPR support.
* foomatic-configure: Added the "-w 1" option to "nc" used in the
$postpipe for LPD, otherwise "nc" only exits a rather long time
after all data has be transmitted to the printer. This prevents
the new lpdomatic from exiting immediately after the job has
finished and so it takes a longer time until the next job
starts.
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Used "/PageSize[...]" instead of
"/PageRegion[...]" in the "*PageRegion" option of the
PPD-O-Matic PPD files becasue GhostScript does not understand
"/PageRegion[...]" (found this out during tests of PPR, which
uses the "*PageRegion" option and not the "*PageSize" option to
set the paper size.
2001-12-02 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* ppromatic: Completed first version of ppromatic: Added error and
signal handling. Introduced back channel from child processes to
main process and let main process wait until all children finish,
to not loose any error message or exit status to report to PPR.
2001-11-30 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/*/*: Added some comments about the similarity of the
Sharp and Xerox inkjets.
* db/source/opt/207.xml: Made "Model" option of "pcl3" having only
the correct model entry as possible choice (as "Model" option of
"gimp-print"/"stp".
2001-11-29 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-preferred-driver: Higher priority for "pcl3" against
"sharp.upp", the support of the "pcl3" driver for the Sharp and
Xerox inkjets is much better since version 3.3 of "pcl3".
* db/source/*/*: Added Sharp/Xerox printers to list of printers
supported by "pcl3" because of better Sharp/Xerox support by
"pcl3" version 3.3, also changed the recommended driver of the
Sharp and Xerox inkjets to "pcl3" and the functionality to
"Mostly".
2001-11-24 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* ppromatic: Interface for the spooler PPR (ppr.sourceforge.net)
introduced. To set up printer download PPD-O-Matic PPD file from
your driver's page of the linuxprinting.org database (or use
"foomatic-datafile -t ppd ...") and do
cp ppromatic /usr/lib/ppr/interfaces/
cp <downloaded ppd file> /usr/share/ppr/PPDFiles/
ppad interface <queue> ppromatic <address>
ppad options <queue> backend=<interface>
ppad ppd <queue> <ppd file without path>
(Addiyional command to set up paper trays)
<interface> means the PPR interface name for the desired printer
connection type (all in /usr/lib/ppr/interfaces/: parallel,
serial, tcpip, lpr, smb, atalk, ...).
<address> means the printer address as needed by the interface
(/dev/lp0 for parallel, printer.domain.com:9100 for tcpip, ...)
<ppd file without path> is the name under which you have saved
your downloaded PPD file. Do not specify the path
/usr/share/ppr/PPDFiles/
2001-11-23 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* cupsomatic: Let numerical option default settings in be used
when a printer is used with a PPD-O-Matic PPD file.

2001-11-14 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Added generation of a generic purpose PPD
file (PPD-O-Matic), made generated PDQ scripts using settings
added by an application using the PPD file, fixed bug of PDQ not
printing when driver command line is composed of various shell
commands. Removed some replacements of special characters in the
generation of PDQ config files, they caused some driver command
lines to get "overquoted" characters.
* cupsomatic, lpdomatic: Added support for the new generic PPD
files, jobs are searched for settings done by applications using
these PPD files.

routines in lib/Foomatic/DB.pm (one Gimp-Print combo in 0.5-1.5
sec. foomatic-compiledb in a few minutes), needs less than 10 MB
of memory. Pre-building of the database for distros not needed
any more.
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Make foomatic-combo-xml.c being preferrably
used for building printer/driver combo data.

* db/source/*/*: Added the Epson laser printer drivers provided
by Epson: "epl5800", "epl2050", "epl2050p", "acl2000", "acl8500".
* foomatic-preferred-driver: Epson laser printer drivers.
* db/source/printer/641170.xml: Removed duplicate entry for the
Canon LBP-800.
2001-08-21 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/*/*: Added new Brother printers: HL-1440, H:-1450,
HL-1470N, HL-2460, HL-2460N, HL-2400CeN, HL-3400CN, MFC-P2500.
* db/source/*/*: Added some more Brothers to the hl1250 driver.
* db/source/opt/207.xml, db/source/opt/208.xml: Corrected default
settings for the Apollo P-1200 with the pcl3 driver. It needs
the the model setting "Unspecified old model" and a CMY colour
mode.
* db/source/driver/hpijs.xml, db/source/opt/hpijs-Model.xml,
db/source/opt/hpijs-Quality.xml, db/source/printer/413737.xml:
The Apollo P-2200 works with drivers for the HP DeskJet 612C,
taken this into account.
* db/source/printer/Okidata-ML_32?.xml, db/source/driver/okiibm.xml:
Added the printers Okidata ML 320/321.
* db/source/printer/63200.xml: Added comment to the IBM 4019.
* db/source/printer/317321.xml, db/source/printer/607474.xml:
Added instructions how to change the cartridges without needing
special software.
* db/source/printer/24832.xml: Added useful info about the NEC P6
plus.
* db/source/driver/epsonc.xml: This driver is needed to print on
the NEC PinWriter P6/P6 plus in colour.
* foomatic-preferred-driver: Given priority to the "necp6" driver
against the "epsonc" because in most cases the NEC PinWriter P6
is used without colour add-on.
* db/source/*/*: Fixed bug in hpijs driver data: The docs talk about
"DJ6xxP" for the "DeviceName" setting for photo-capable DeskJet
6xx models, in reality "DJ6xxPhoto" has to be used.
* db/source/driver/sharp.upp.xml: Explained how to install
"sharp.upp".
2001-08-20 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/printer/337577.xml: Duplicate entry for the HP OfficeJet
G55, deleted.
* db/source/printer/Sharp*: Added the printers Sharp AJ-1805,
AJ-2005, and AJ-2100.
* db/source/printer/*: Updated the entries for the Xerox DocuPrint
M750 and M760, they print with "sharp.upp" and are both partially
working.
* db/source/driver/sharp.upp.xml: Added the new Sharp printers
(AJ-1805/2005) and the Xerox DucuPrint M750/M760.
* db/source/driver/hl1250.xml: Updated the URL of the driver's home
page.
* db/source/driver/hl1250.xml, db/source/opt/53.xml: Removed the
"Model" option from the "hl1250" driver, the GhostScript option
"-sDEVICE=hl1240" or "-sDEVICE=hl1250" only determines the
default resolution which is anyway overridden by Foomatic.
* db/source/opt/161.xml: The media source selection for the
"Postscript" driver only works for HP printers, restricted to HP.
2001-08-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/printer/*: Added HP and Apollo printers: Apollo P-2100,
P-2150, HP DeskJet 816C, 980C, e-printer e20, PhotoSmart P1215,
P1218, OfficeJet K60, K80, V40, PSC 300, 750.
* db/source/*/hpijs*: Updated the data for the inkjet driver of HP
("hpijs").
* db/source/*/DJ*: Deleted the old data of the HP driver (drivers
"DJxxx").
* db/source/*/*: Updated all information about the multifunction
devices of HP, they are all capable for scanning with free
software.
* db/source/printer/641138.xml: Duplicate entry for the Canon
LBP-800, deleted.
* db/source/printer/207945.xml: Duplicate entry for the HP LaserJet
2, deleted.
* foomatic-preferred-driver: Added new "hpijs" driver.
2001-08-17 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* Makefile: Moved foomatic-configure from /usr/sbin to /usr/bin.
* db/source/printer/Epson-Stylus_C[24]0*: Split up the entries for
the Epson Stylus C20/C40 into the SX and UX models. This is needed
for the Gimp-Print GhostScript driver.
2001-08-16 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-configure: Support for printers on NetWare (with LPD
and LPRng), output of the printer list both as root and normal
user, LPRng SIGHUP after adding a new queue, spooler detection
bug fix.
2001-08-11 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-configure: Fixed bug of options not being conserved
when changing parameters of a CUPS or PDQ printer. $olddatablob
was defined at the wrong place. Added paths for rlpr, nc, and
smbclient to Defaults.pm, so these commands can also be called
when foomatic-configure is running in an environment without
$PATH, for example during the installation of a distro.
* Makefile, makeDefaults: Paths for rlpr, nc, and smbclient added.
2001-08-05 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/opt/ppmtocpva-solidblack.xml: Added option "-solidblack"
to "ppmtocpva" driver, it is new in the version 1.0 of the driver.
* db/source/printer/168201.xml: Corrected the resolution of the
Citizen Printiva 600C.
* db/source/driver/ppmtocpva.xml: Added the old Alps MD models to
the printers supported by the "ppmtocpva" driver.
2001-08-01 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-cleanupdrivers: Removes all driver entries without
command line (<prototype>..</prototype>) from a local Foomatic
database. So frontends do not display "unusable" printer/driver
combos.
* foomatic-preferred-drivers: Simple program which adds a
<driver>..</driver> entry to every printer. The best driver is
determined by a ranking. When one deletes all XML files for
drivers which are not available on the system (and adds XML files
for additional drivers) all printers will have the best driver
of the current system as preferred driver.
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Exported "get_overview" for
foomatic-preferred-drivers.
* db/source/*/*: Added the newest inkjets of Epson and the newest
lasers of HP: Epson Stylus C20, C40, Epson Stylus Photo 785,
875, 895, Epson Stylus Pro 10000, HP LaserJet 1200, 1220, 2200,
3200m, 4100, 8150, 9000, HP Color LaserJet 4550.
* db/source/*/*: Corrected driver list for the HP LaserJet 3200se,
it is the same as for the HP LaserJet 3200 now.
* db/source/driver/bjc600.xml: Removed the Canon BJC-5000 from the
list of supported printers, it is a paperweight for sure.
* db/source/printer/474354.xml: Removed this extra entry for the
Canon BJC-85. It was a relict of the time when the database was
publicly editable.
2001-07-29 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Take preferred driver (<driver>..</driver>
tag) into thw overview listing (overview.xml, foomatic-configure
-O).
* db/source/opt/69.xml: Made the "Normal" quality with the "cdj880"
driver available again for all printers. With GNU GhostScript
6.51 it works without problems.
2001-07-25 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-configure: When one uses the -P option with a printer
and a driver to obtain the datablob of this combo, one can also
supply a queue to apply the default options of that queue to the
datablob of the chosen combo. This can be used when one wants to
change the driver used for a queue with the help of a
frontend. The obtained datablob can be used to generate the
option dialog in this situation.
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: The option and choice value arrays are
sorted now (by a standard option list, by the "normalizename"
function which is already used for printer names on the web
site, and alphabatically/case-insensitive), so in XPDQ, KUPS,
QtCUPS, XPP, the upcoming new printerdrake (Mandrake 8.1), and
other frontends the options and choices will appear sorted.
2001-07-21 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-configure: Added the possibility to copy/clone queues,
now queues can be transferred to another spooler conserving all
settings, including the default option settings. Restructured
all queue query functions, now they can also generate complete
Perl datablobs with all option default settings (even settings
which XPDQ has written into /etc/pdq/printrc or which KUPS has
written into the PPD files) and all queue settings as the
connection URI, description, location, ... (in the new
'queuedata' field). This facility can be used by graphical
frontends. Now foomatic-configure also supports to be called
unser different names and to load the default spooler choice
from a file.
2001-07-20 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-configure: Restructured all queue setup functions, now
it is possible with all the spoolers to modify queues by only
supplying the items which are changed on the foomatic-configure
command line. One can even delete the description or location
entries or switch from a queue with driver to a raw
queue. Default settings for options do not get lost when one
changes the driver and the new driver has options with the same
name. Also option settings done with the "native" tools of CUPS
and PDQ do not get lost on any kind of manipulation done with
foomatic-configure. Extra Perl datablob files removed to avoid
problems with maintaining redundant data repositories. Datablobs
are now in the main config files (they were already there for
CUPS and LPD/LPRng, for PDQ they are addad now. Output of
datablobs for frontends will be done by a special command line
option. The query functions are cleaned up now.
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Added Perl datablob to the PDQ datafiles,
added a line break to the end of all "die" and "warn" messages
to clean the error message output.
2001-07-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-printjob: Fixed command line option translation when
printing with PDQ (numerical options).
* foomatic-configure: XML-Combo data in /etc/foomatic is gzipped
now (compression factor 10), Perl datablobs with the
user-supplied default option settings are stored in
/etc/foomatic, too (gzip factor 8). They serve for frontends to
get the available options and make it easier to transfer the
queues without loss of option settings.
Setup function for LPD/LPRng restructured, it allows modifying a
queue only supplying the information which changes on the
foomatic-configure command line. One can even change the driver
and all default settings of options with the same name in the
old and the new driver are conserved.
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Fixed help page of PDQ (numerical options).
2001-07-18 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-printjob: Links named "lp", "lpr", "lpq", "lprm", and
"lpc" to the foomatic-printjob executable can be made and the
program does the action of the appropriate command when called
through one of the links, job list ("lpq") output of LPRng
filtered so that it comes out in the same form as the job
listings of the other spoolers, possibility to save a default
spooler.
2001-07-17 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-printjob: Added all missing job listing and job removal
functions. Added functionality for advanced queue and job
control. Updated help message.
* Makefile: Added CUPS commands for queue and job control.
* makeDefaults: Added CUPS commands for queue and job control.
2001-07-16 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-printjob: Added job listing (query) and job removal
functions for PDQ. Added job listing function for LPD. Added
line breaks at the end of all "die" calls so that the line
number is not shown when the program executes the appropriate
"die",
* foomatic-configure: Added line breaks at the end of all "die"
calls.
2001-07-15 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-printjob: Coomand line options which are not used by
foomatic-printjob are passed to spooler-specific printing
command, Support for printing multiple copies with PDQ, printer
queue can also be specified with the "-d" option.
2001-07-14 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-printjob: Exit status of the spooler's printing command
is passed back to the user as the exit status of
foomatic-printjob, GNU-lpr (VA-Linux) is auto-detected and the
options are passed appropriately. Clean-up of the help message
(option -h).
* foomatic-configure: Support for setting default options, help
message cleaned up.
2001-07-13 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Removed backquote from the boolean option
example in the PDQ help page. It broke the shell script for
printing the page. Preliminary fix for foomatic-configure not
exiting when building combo data with the Gimp-Print Foomatic
data installed: Flushing memory cache during build after
treatment of every option.
* foomatic-printjob: Fixed option handling,
* foomatic-configure: Set automatically a search path to
/etc/foomatic/pdq into the /usr/lib/pdq/printrc file, so that
the Foomatic driver description files are found.
2001-07-11 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* Makefile: The INSTALLPREFIX facility was broken. Fixed.
* USAGE: Added user instructions.
* README: Pointed to new USAGE file
2001-07-05 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* sharp.upp: New driver for the Sharp AJ-1800/2000 inkjet printers
2001-07-02 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* Makefile: Added foomatic-printjob to the user programs to be
installed
2001-07-01 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-configure: Now the combo XML data and not only the
printer data is stored in /etc/foomatic for every queue, the
"-X" option allows also getting combo data by supplying both a
printer and a driver, the logfile for the LPD/LPRng queues,
/var/log/lp-errs is touched now when a queue is added, so that
it is made sure that it exists.
* foomatic-printjob, Makefile, makeDefaults: First sketch of
foomatic-printjob: Now one has basic printing functionality with
options on all spoolers.
2001-06-30 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-configure, Makefile, makeDefaults: PDQ support added:
Now we have a command-line-based administration interface for
PDQ and the basic functionality of foomatic-configure is
completed. Fixed bug in help message of foomatic-configure. In
LPD "rlpr" is only used for remote LPD queues with filter, for
raw queues the "rm" and "rp" tags in the /etc/printcap file are
used.
2001-06-29 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-configure: Added LPRng support (without
magicfilter). The support is done by adding the differences
between LPD and LPRng in the functions for handling LPD. Fixed
autodetection of LPRng (typo).
2001-06-29 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lpdomatic: Fixed: The documentation page did not show the
correct lpr command line example for LPRng and when lpdomatic
does not find the printer driver description file (*.lom) it did
not put the file name into the error message.
* Makefile: Removed comment that LPRng is not supported yet.
2001-06-28 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Fixed several bugs in the function
getpdqdata(): PostScript/PJL options were not prepended to the
job data/the GhostScript output, let the choice names be
<option>_<choice> and not only <choice>, because in PDQ one
provides only the choice name and not the option name and the
choice name on the command line. So options with the same choice
names (as "Duplex" and "Manualfeed" on the LaserJet 4050 with
"ljet4" driver, which have both "On" and "Off" as choices) are
ambiguous, added "docs" option to print documentation page with
PDQ, fixed boolean options, they were broken. Text file printout
done with "mpage" now.
* cupsomatic, lpdomatic: Fixed bug of "This option corresponds to
a PJL command" not appearing on documentation page (option
"docs").
2001-06-27 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-configure: Query function for CUPS, corrected bug in
function dump_config where the <queue ...> tag was closed by
</foomatic>, fixed query function for LPD, so that it supports
all backend types, remote LPD printing under LPD done with
"rlpr".
* Makefile, makeDefaults: Added /etc/cups/printers.conf.
2001-06-26 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-configure: Support for adding/modifying and removing
CUPS queues (for all backends supported by CUPS).
* cupsomatic: Parsing of options embedded in the document
fixed. For accessing the value of an enumerated option $avalue
instead of $value was used, so the values read into $value were
not inserted into the option list. Search the first 1000 lines
for options because after polling the PJL options from a printer
or with a PostScript printer with many features in its PPD file
the 100 lines can easily be exceeded.
* lpdomatic/cupsomatic (common part): The support of PJL option is
marked by the existence of the "pjl" key in the Perl data set of
the printer/driver combo. So "if (defined($dat->{'pjl'}))" and
not "if ($dat->{'pjl'})" has to be asked to check PJL support.
2001-06-25 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-configure: Support for adding CUPS queues (all queue
types supported by "lpadmin"). Bugfixes in queue setup for LPD:
Make directories before the backend script for raw queues is
written to there, Rename old $etcfile and $etcxfile also when
one sets up a raw queue.
* Makefile, makeDefaults: Set default paths and file names for CUPS,
let cupsomatic be installed in the CUPS filter directory.
2001-06-24 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-configure: Now one can configure all types of
LPD queues automatically: local USB/parallel, remote
LPD/SMB/Socket. In addition one can define a queue which pipes the
output into an arbitrary command or a raw queue. Bugfix: Removed
colon after "q" (="quiet") in "getopts()" line. Introduced "-f"
(="force") flag of foomatic-datafile.
* lpdomatic (bugfix): In lpdomatic the
prepending of PJL options is suppressed for non-PJL printers.
* Makefile (bugfix): Added foomatic-*pjloptions, moved
foomatic-configure to admin programs. Fixed links of the pcache
and compiled directories in /var/cache/foomatic to
/usr/local/share/foomatic/db, before the printer combo was always
recompiled.
2001-06-21 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* Makefiles: Allowed the possibility to install the Perl libs with
another prefix than the rest of the files. So installation is also
possible when Perl does not search for libraries in /usr/local.
2001-06-20 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* Bugfixes: foomatic-configure could not delete queues, makeDefaults
set a wrong path for lpdomatic, Makefile missed a "make" in
the process of installing the Perl libraries.
2001-06-16 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* PJL options can be added to the Foomatic data now:
foomatic-getpjloptions retrives them from the printer,
foomatic-addpjloptions generates XML datasets from them.
2001-04-01 Grant Taylor <gtaylor@linuxprinting.org>
* Various renaming has happened. Instead of 'PHTDBPUB', it's
Foomatic::DB. Foomatic::Defaults exports the libdir et al into
you, and the flock of companion modules represent other mostly
internal code.
* Rearranged all the code; now there's a proper Perl module, in
theory at least, in Foomatic/, and the toplevel Makefile
supports this. There's also 'make testing', for a run-in-place
setup.
2001-03-14 Grant Taylor <gtaylor@linuxprinting.org>
* Minor updates to reflect website postgres->xml conversion.
2001-03-10 Grant Taylor <gtaylor@linuxprinting.org>
* Added section="??" attribuge to arg_postscript. Now it's clear
where the Postscript snippets should be placed in the document.
OTOH, the filters haven't even absorbed Crutcher's DocumentSetup
patch, nevermind support for other locations. And JCL still
isn't handled. Or ppd constraints. Or queries. Etc.
* Fixed Till's bug wrt empty options being left out. Also fixed a
few other subtle bugs in ppd parser and foo option generator.
* Small updates to Makefile; it might work again. Note that it
modifies the scripts in place before installing, which will
cause confusion if you attempt further work in place.
* Added foomatic-kitload, which imports source data subsets into
the local data library.
2001-03-07 Grant Taylor <gtaylor@linuxprinting.org>
* Various additional checks and things when doing combo ops in
hopes of avoiding horribly mysterious error messages.
* Implemented foomatic-ppdload. It might even work(tm).
2001-03-06 Grant Taylor <gtaylor@linuxprinting.org>
* Made dump_db strip out illegal constraints, and implemented
comments filtering. Only <p> and <a> are allowed now. <br> is
mapped into <p>.
* New snap of Postgres database
* Make install should(tm) now do something sensible. It still
ought to autodetect "flavor" for foomatic-configure.
* Rename make-datafile to foomatic-datafile.
* Wrap f-c -Q output in <queues> to make it have one toplevel
entity.
2001-03-04 Grant Taylor <gtaylor@linuxprinting.org>
* Removed constraints entirely from combo data. So arg_defval now
appears at /option/arg_defval instead of at
/option/constraints/constraint/arg_defval.
* Switch verified tag to an unverified tag. Eventually, the xml
dataset will be defined as containing only verified information,
so this way there's one less tag for maintainers to fiddle with.
* Prepare for CVS integration.
* Various minor twiddles around the website programs.
* args_byname twiddle for Till.
* Include all the backends in the package.
2001-02-28 Grant Taylor <gtaylor@linuxprinting.org>
* Require Storable
* Added printer autodetect sections to overview. Use xpath or
similar to see the values in /printer/autodetect/parallel
* -Q in foomatic-configure; prints XML summary of system printer
configuration. -X and -O allow examination of the whole
database. f-c API should now be sufficient to build GUIs atop.
* compile_db changes to limit pain of Perl memory leaks.
* Added the pcache, a persistent pre-parsed cache of everything.
* Various buglets from Till. Invalid constraints just warn, don't
hose the whole option. Etc.
* Add foomatic-configure; initial LPD support.
* Various typos and minor fixes; the overview compile/save was
broken, and the overview Perl was missing the driver list.
* Begin beta3.
2001-02-25 Grant Taylor <gtaylor@linuxprinting.org>
* Added methods get_makes, get_javascript2, get_models_by_make,
get_printer_from_make_model.
* Added overview support. Various methods now return or use the
overview infromation; the overview is just a summary listing of
various database-wide info. By using it, many operations are
less horribly slow. The overview is db/compiled/overview.xml
* Don't actually need XML::Grove::PerlSAX.
* Added -f clag to compile_db, and extra work avoidance code.
* Fixed variable naming bug in pdq generator, and fixed boolean
option conversion in getdat.
2001-02-25 Grant Taylor <gtaylor@habanero.picante.com>
* Included an experimental dataset from the new data generation
code I've written for gimp-print. The driver "stp-4.1.5" might
even work(tm).
2001-02-20 Grant Taylor <gtaylor@habanero.picante.com>
* Subtle adjustments to <constraint> contents. The <sense>
element is gone; replaced with the sense="true" or sense="false"
attribute on the <constraint> tag itself. Also, you can now
specify a <printer>printer-id</printer> element instead of
make/model; this is useful for automatically generated data.
