* VERSION, README, USAGE, configure.ac: Updated for release 4.0.17.
* foomaticrip.h: Raised PATH_MAX to 65536 bytes so that CUPS
filter calls with many command line options work (Ubuntu bug
#1019662).
2012-06-25 Jiri Popelka <jpopelka@redhat.com>
* options.c, renderer.c: Fixed problems discovered by a Coverity scan
(Bug #752).

* Tagged branch for release 4.0.16.
* VERSION, README, USAGE, configure.ac: Updated for release 4.0.16.
* foomaticrip.c: Fixed wrong access to command line option list which
prevented the command line options being passed on to the pdftops
CUPS filter when incoming PDF is converted to PostScript (Ubuntu
bug #1002699).
2012-06-06 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* spooler.c: Fixed off-by-one bug which has cut off the last character
of the option string for CUPS (5th command line argument) and so made
the last option setting not being applied (Ubuntu bug #1003194).

* Tagged branch for release 4.0.15.
* VERSION, README, USAGE, configure.ac: Updated for release 4.0.15.
* options.c: Improved check whether a driver works with PDF input data:
Do not take into account bogus options which appear due to bugs in
PPD files (type is TYPE_NONE) or composite options and in addition
add debug output to show the reason for the decision to convert to
PostScript (Ubuntu bugs #953962 and #960989).

* Tagged branch for release 4.0.14.
* VERSION, README, USAGE, configure.ac: Updated for release 4.0.14.
* foomaticrip.c: If the input data is PDF but the driver requires
PostScript, use the pdftops CUPS filter when CUPS is the spooler.
This way we always use the same method to convert PDF to PostScript
in the whole system, including any workarounds applied in the CUPS
filter.

* spooler.c: When using CUPS support option strings (5th command
line argument to a CUPS filter) of more than 512 bytes. For PPD
files with very many options this string can get very long (Thanks
to Yoshito Nishihara, yoshito dot nishihara at nts dot ricoh dot co

* foomaticrip.c: If incoming PDF needs to be converted to PostScript
due to the filter command line not being a standard Ghostscript
command line, no separate PDF command line being supplied, or
options in the PPD being implemented by PostScript code, use
preferrably Ghostscript (with the "ps2write" device) for this
conversion as Ghostscript is better optimized for printing and
has a more sophisticated color management compared to Poppler.

* foomaticrip.c, renderer.c: SECURITY FIX: Use the mktemp shell
command/mkstemp() function to create the debug log file and the
renderer input data file (both files only generated when
foomatic-rip is un in debug mode) with file names with an
unpredictable part. The names are /tmp/foomatic-rip-XXXXXX.log and
/tmp/foomatic-rip-YYYYYY.ps where the XXXXXX and YYYYYY are
replaced by random strings. Thanks to Tim Waugh from Red Hat for
for the patch (bug #936, CVE-2011-2924).

* foomaticrip.c: Removed stray characters from "pstoraster"
Ghostscript command line.
* foomaticrip.c, pdf.c, renderer.c: Added "-dNOINTERPOLATE" to the
Ghostscript command lines as this makes Ghostscript rendering
the pages significantly faster. Use "ps2write" instead of "pswrite"
as PostScript output device as Ghostscript produced huge output
files with "pswrite" (and "pswrite" is also deprecated now).
* foomaticrip.c: SECURITY FIX: It was possible to make CUPS executing
arbitrary commands as the system user "lp" when foomatic-rip was
used as CUPS filter. Fixed by not parsing named options (like
"--ppd lj.ppd") when foomatic-rip is running as CUPS filter, as
CUPS does not supply named options to their filters.
2011-03-04 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* configure.ac: Support for libdir in the ./configure script.

Hughes (hughsient at gmail dot com) for supplying me this patch
from Red Hat.
* colord.c, colord.h, Makefile.am, configure.ac, foomaticrip.c,
options.c, options.h: Added support for ICC-based color managment.
Both colord and CUPS' ICC-related PPD extensions are supported.
For colord D-Bus is required. Thanks to Richard Hughes (hughsient

* foomaticrip.c: Run strtok() on a copy of the list of input files
for the first check, as strtok() modifies the string it parses,
overwriting the delimiters with zeros. Before, the list of input
files only showed its first entry when being parsed again for
actually printing the files (Ubuntu bug #676680).

* VERSION, README, USAGE, configure.ac: Updated for release 4.0.6.
* options.c: Allow length limitation for the substitution of the special
entities "&job;", "&user;", "&host;", "&title;", and "&options;":
The maximum length can be supplied via the PPD keywords
"*FoomaticRIP<Item>EntityMaxLength: <mexlength>" (for example
"*FoomaticRIPUserEntityMaxLength: 8") or by adding a number to the
individual entities (for example "&user8;"). If the string to
insert for the entity is longer than the limit, it gets cut off to
the limit. Feature requested by Uli Wehner from Ricoh
(http://forums.linux-foundation.org/read.php?30,13134).
2010-12-10 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>

getenv() can return NULL. In such a case the fallback to /tmp
did not work. Thanks to Abel Abraham Camarillo Ojeda (spam at

* fileconverter.c: Make the check for the text filter actually
work. Before, the text filter choice from the configuration file
was simply taken for good and not checked whether it is supported.

the zero byte to mark the string end beyond the buffer. Also use a
much larger buffer for parsing "*FoomaticRIPOptionPrototype:" in
the PPD file (bug #515).

working. Before, only substitution of %0 and %1 worked reliably.
Thanks to Lutz Sammer (johns98 at web dot de) for reporting this
problem (see also bug 514, comment #1).
* options.c: Make custom page size settings also work if the custom
size is set via embedded PostScript code and the comment to mark
the selected option setting is only "%% FoomaticRIPOptionSetting:
PageSize=Custom", without the size and unit parameters. Thanks to
Lutz Sammer for reporting this problem (see also bug 514, comment #1).

* spooler.c: Config file for the default printer in spooler-less
(direct) printing mode was not read correctly. Thanks to Lutz
Sammer (johns98 at web dot de) for reporting this problem (see
also bug 514, comment #1).
* spooler.c: Fixed error message output if a printer's PPD is missing
in spooler-less mode. There was a segfault due to the printer name
not specified in the _log() function call. Thanks to Lutz Sammer
for reporting this problem (see also bug 514, comment #1).
* util.c: The isempty() function did not consider NULL as an empty
string. This caused segfaults when a string is considered non-empty
but in fact it is NULL. Thanks to Lutz Sammer for reporting this
problem (see also bug 514, comment #1).
* util.c: strncpy_tochar() did not check whether the input string
is empty and returned a pointer one character beyond the input
string, leading to segfaults in the code calling this function.
Thanks to Lutz Sammer for reporting this problem (see also bug 514,
comment #1).

the Ghostscript library is not needed any more.
* configure.ac, util.h, util.c: Added implementation of strcasestr()
function for non-GNU systems (completes fix of bug #303, thanks
to Tim Mooney for this fix).
* foomaticrip.c, foomaticrip.h, pdf.c: Let foomatic-rip actually
error out if something goes wrong. It simply continued or closed
silently (exit status 0) on the following events: Failure of
print_file() function call, failure of Ghostscript to determine
the number of pages of a PDF input file (causes Ubuntu bug
#570522), failure to start Ghostscript to render a PDF file,
failure to create a temporary file for extracting selected pages
from a PDF file, failure to run Ghostscript to extract pages from
a PDF file, page count result being a negative number.
* foomaticrip.c: Use EXIT_PRINTED constant and not hard-coded "0"
as exit value when terminating successfully.
* foomaticrip.h: Correct definition of EXIT_STARVED constant.
2010-03-26 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>

* pdf.c, configure.ac: Removed dependency on libgs by calling
Ghostscript via the command line. This makes packaging for Linux
distributions easier and also building on Mac OS X and Solaris
gets simplified (Bugs #303, #382, #384).
2010-02-05 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* options.c, spooler.c: Made suppression of CUPS accounting PostScript
code into a PostScript data stream actually working:
PPD keyword is "*FoomaticRIPCommandLinePDF", value must be "true",
and check of the ps_accounting variable must be done after parsing
the PPD file (Ubuntu bug #513690).
2010-02-03 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* postscript.c: Added NULL pointer check to avoid segfault when
custom margins option is added to the PPD file via the
alignmargins script (Bug #413, Debian bug #539676).
2010-02-02 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomaticrip.c: If incoming PDF needs to get converted to
PostScript remove /usr/lib/cups/filter from $PATH, so that
"pdftops" of Poppler or XPDF gets called and not "pdftops" of
CUPS. The latter has another command line and does undesired page
management operations (Ubuntu bug #463059).

empty code fields of automatically generated choices of
numerical options of Foomatic-based PPDs (bug #399).
2009-08-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* Tagged branch for release 4.0.3.
* VERSION, README, USAGE, configure.ac: Updated for release 4.0.3.
* foomaticrip.c: If PDF input has to be converted to PostScript
due to a PPD which does not support PDF (like the PPDs of the
Foomatic "Postscript" driver), we try at first to use "pdftops"
(Poppler) and only if this fails we use Ghostscript. This is
because Ghostscript blows up PDFs to huge PostScript
files (which many PostScript printers failed on), whereas
Poppler's output stays compact. As "pdftops" does not support
reading from stdin, we create a temporary file with the input
before starting to convert. Note that "pdftops" will get only
used if it has the "-origpagesizes" option (Poppler 0.11.x or
newer), as otherwise documents with pages of different sizes do
not get converted correctly (bug #365).
* pdf.c, util.c, util.h: Moved temp_dir() function from pdf.c to util.c
as it is now also needed by foomaticrip.c.
* foomaticrip.c: Fixed LPRng support (bug #337): PPD file names
were not read correctly from /etc/printcap (PRINTCAP_ENTRY
environment variable), starting 8 characters after the beginning
of the path and not stopping at a colon. Also the last command
line argument of the foomatic-rip call was always considered the
name of the PPD file, even if the PPD file name was already
determined by the PRINTCAP_ENTRY environment variable or the
"--ppd" command line argument.
2009-07-01 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomaticrip.c: Do not use JCL which is preceeded to the input
data. We can generate it on our own and even merge it with the JCL
coming from the driver.
* renderer.c: Make sure that "@PJL SET ..." commands from the PPD
file do not get nmerged into the driver's PJL header too early,
expecially not before "@PJL JOB ..." lines, as then the commands
get ignored. This happened especially with the "InputSlot"
option for the "cdnj500" driver.

2009-04-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* Tagged branch for release 4.0.1.
* foomatic-rip.1.in: Added documentation for the configuration file
(/etc/foomatic/filter.conf, bug #312), minor text fixes.
* postscript.c: Fixed segfault when the PPD contains only a
default value but not an option for it (like
"*DefaultResolution: 600dpi" and the client inserts this as an
option setting into the PostScript input data stream (Windows
clients do so). Bug #324.
2009-03-30 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* options.c: Custom page sizes were not accepted if one of the three
parameters "WidthOffset", "HeightOffset", or "Orientation" of the
"PageSize" option in the PPD file did not allow 0 as value.
Made error messages for the parameters of custom options more
readable.
* foomaticrip.c, options.c: If there are printing system options
(like "media" of CUPS) and PPD options (like "PageSize") on the
command line and they do the same thing (like choosing the paper
size) let the setting of the PPD option always have priority,
as this is expected for a CUPS filter (see CUPS STR #3148). This
is done by treating the printing system options before the PPD
options. This fixes Ubuntu bug #338999.
2009-03-08 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* renderer.c: Fixed segmentation fault in JCL option handling (bugs
#311 and #317).
2009-03-07 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomatic-rip.1.in: Fixed typos.
* renderer.c: When doing the massaging of the remderer command line
foomatic-rip inserts 'gs' at the wrong place in command lines of
Foomatic 3.x-generated PPD files for the "Postscript" driver, leading
to duplicate calls of Ghostscript (bug #316).
* foomaticrip.c: Fixed buffer overflow mentioned in bug #311.
2009-02-11 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de>
* foomaticrip.c: The value of the "execpath" variable in the config
file was not used fully: Only the characters leading up to the first
':' were copied into the programs $PATH environment variable.
2009-02-11 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de>
* renderer.c: Fixed several bugs in the argument replacements in
massage_gs_commandline.
* foomaticrip.c: Use "gspath" and "echopath" from the config file.
2009-02-09 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de>
* fileconverter.h, foomaticrip.c, renderer.c, util.c: Made
foomatic-rip building under Mac OS X, mainly by replacing
functions which are GNU-only.
2009-02-02 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* renderer.c: When foomatic-rip looked for JCL options in the
binary output of the driver to merge them with JCL options from
the PPD file, it read binary data into a C string, which causes
problems when this data contains zeroes. Finally fixes Ubuntu bug
LP: #303691.
2009-01-29 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* renderer.c: If there were very many JCL lines in the driver's
output or coming together by JCL options, the JCL merging
process (kid4) segfaulted (Ubuntu bug LP: #321164,

that "None" as argument for a string or password option is
considered as the empty string.
* options.c: String and password option settings got inserted into
the command line or the PostScript code with the "Custom."
prefix (thanks to Bin Li from Ricoh for reporting this). Fixed
also a segmentation fault due to missing initialization of
components of the param_t data structure by the
option_add_custom_param_from_string() function. Removed also
some unneeded free() calls.

* postscript.c: Insert the "%%PageSetup" section directly after
the DSC comment header of the page, all page drawing commands
must be after the section.
* postscript.c: Inserted PostScript option settings from pstops
were not corrected with custom option settings done on the
command line (numerical, string, password).
* options.c: Small fix for better readability.
* renderer.c: If there was only one PJL option in the PPD no PJL got
added at all (Ubuntu bug #303691).
* renderer.c: Fixed several bugs in the merging of PJL options.
In some cases equal keywords were not found in the two JCL
option sets or keywords only differing by the last character
were considered equal. Also a command in the first line of the
driver's PJL header got dropped.
2008-11-26 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de>
* options.c: When a numeric value is out of range, use the default
value instead of the closest valid value (i.e. min or max). Do not
truncate string options which are longer than allowed, use the
default instead. Apply AllowedChars and AllowedRegExp also to
Password options.
Small bug fix: The generated regular expression for AllowedChars was
missing the final '$' and therefore didn't match all cases
correctly.
Bug fix: Merge JCL options correctly
2008-11-21 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de>
* options.c: Fixed bug: Setting the page range of an option to
multiple ranges (seperated by comma), foomatic-rip was caught in an
infinte loop.
* options.c: Fixed bug: Page ranges were not applied for command line
options when processing PostScript files (the renderer wasn't
restarted as it should have been).
2008-11-13 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de>
* options.c: Don't prepend @PJL to JCL options if they already start
with @PJL. Unhexify JCL commands.
* options.c: Handle CustomJCL<option> and ParamCustomJCL<option>.
Prefer JCL Custom options over foomatic options (as was already done
for PostScript options).
2008-10-22 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* postscript.c: Reset the "fromcomposite" variable when treating
a "%%BeginFeature" line. In this case we do not do the treatment
of composite options and so the variable should never remain set
from a previous "%%FoomaticRIPOption" line. Fixes the problem
described in comment #23 of bug #173.
2008-10-15 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de>
* ppd.c: In some cases, the code for the true and false settings of
boolean values was interchanged. E.g., if the user (or the default)
chose "false" for an option, the code for "true" was embedded in the
PostScript / JCL / Command Line.
2008-10-15 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de>
* postscript.c: Let foomatic-rip not try to correct the
settings of boolean and enumerated choice options embedded in
the Prolog and Setup sections of the PostScript input data. With
the current pstops filter of CUPS we cannot determine any more
whether these options come from pstops or from the application.
Corrections of these options are only needed in the PageSetup,
anyway, for page overrides (Bug #173). [ported from foomatic-rip 3]
2008-10-01 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de>
* pdf.c: Use $TMPDIR for storing temporary files, and only use
P_tmpdir or /tmp if $TMPDIR is not writable.
2008-09-25 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* beh.in: Use /tmp as temporary directory when CUPS does not
supply the $TMPDIR environment variable (Ubuntu bug #268284).

* foomaticrip.c: Remove leading whitespace from jobs instead of
passing it on. Flush() standard output after writing leading data to
ensure it comes first (not after or between the output of the
renderer).
2008-09-24 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de>
* pdf.c, renderer.c: Put JCL data also around PDF documents
2008-08-13 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de>
* pdf.c: foomatic-rip inserted the -sOutputFile GhostScript command
line argument at the wrong position when printing a PDF file (not from
stdin), which led GhostScript to crash
* options.c: Option settings can be given in the PPD file before the
option is "declared", which led foomatic-rip to think that there are
PostScript options (the default) in the PPD and the driver could not
understand PDF input. Now, foomatic-rip checks for PostScript
options after the whole PPD has been read.
2008-08-12 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de>
* options.c: Use FoomaticRIPCommandLinePDF if it is available. Don't
use it if at least one option wants to insert PostScript code
* pdf.c: Only create a temporary file if there actually are page
overrides, not if printing the whole document
* postscript.c: Fixed bug #142, custom input value which was wrongly
set by pstops was not set to the correct value by foomatic-rip
2008-08-05 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de>
* renderer.c: fixed bug #146, merging of JCL options omitted some
options.
* options.c: Fixed bug #151, crash when default value of an option was
set from a composite option.
2008-07-30 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de>
* *: Added support for the *FoomaticRIPCommandLinePDF keyword. It will
be used for PDF input. If it is missing, *FoomaticRIPCommandLine
will be used _only_ if it calls GhostScript, otherwise the Job is
converted to PostScript.
* pdf.c: Pagerange-specific options work correctly now. If the command
line calls GhostScript, the -d(First|Last)Page parameters are used.
Otherwise, the PDF is split with GhostScript and fed to the command
line afterwards.
2008-06-22 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de>
* options.c: Allow float values on *OrderDependency settings. This is
valid according to the PPD spec, and is used by some HP PPDs.
2008-06-17 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de>
* options.c: Allow choices starting with "From". Even if they do not
point to a valid composite option.
* renderer.c: Parse more complex command lines correctly when looking
for the "gs" executable
2008-06-17 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de>
* options.c, postscript.c: fixed bug #138 (foomatic-rip does not
always insert the code pieces of the members of composite options)
2007-06-13 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* renderer.c: When replacing elements of the Ghostscript command line,
do not remove the spaces between the items. This made printing with
the new foomatic-rip not working in general for most cases.
2008-05-11 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de>
* pdf backend: removed poppler dependency, process pdfs with libgs
now. Changed the buildsystem to reflect this.
2008-04-23 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de>
* foomatic-rip.c, configure.ac: Compose the current version out of the
contents of VERSION and `bzr revno`. It is now possible to find out
foomatic-rip's version by calling it with one of "--version", "-v",
"--help", or "-h".
2008-04-22 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de>
* foomatic-rip.c, options.c: Fixed a bug in option parsing (some
options were not read correctly).
Let option settings for the "PageSetup" sections of the
PostScript input file really be inserted in and not before the
"PageSetup" sections.
2008-04-21 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de>
* postscript.c, options.c: New placeholder "&rbinumcopies;" which gets
replaced by the value set in the "%RBINumCopies: ..." or
"%%RBINumCopies: ..." line in the PostScript input. If the PostScript
input does not contain such lines, the number of copies according to
the foomatic-rip command line is inserted. Feature request of George
Liu from Ricoh.
2008-03-17 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de>
* foomaticrip.c, options.c: Moved buildcommandline() and
append_*_section() to options.c, where they belong.
* foomaticrip.c, spooler.c: Moved some spooler specific stuff to spooler.c
to clean up foomaticrip.c some more.
2008-03-16 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de>
* foomaticrip.c: Started to move all process forking to process.c - to
share it with the pdf handler. Furthermore, the functions in process.c
will keep track of all forked processes and kill them when foomatic-rip
reveives a SIGTERM.
2008-03-08 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de>
* options.c: Accept custom page sizes without a unit (assume pt)
2008-03-04 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de>
* foomatic-rip.c, options.c: Use default values for custom options with
wrong parameters (e.g. PageSize=Custom) - Ubuntu bug #196687
2008-03-03 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de>
* foomatic-rip.c: Fixed minor bug in option parsing
* pdf.cc/pdf.h: Beginning of pdf printing support. Printing is done
via ghostscript, using the commandline in the ppd file that is already
used for rendering postscript.
2008-01-26 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de>
* foomatic-rip: Fixed minor bugs found while testing foomatic-rip
with cups.
2008-01-22 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de>
* foomatic-rip: Merged foomatic-gswrapper into foomatic-rip.
* *: Fixed 'make install'
2008-01-14 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de>
* *: Added support for CUPS custom options
(see http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/spec-ppd.html#OPTIONS)
o PPD files can contain both CUPS and foomatic custom options
o Custom options can be set like this on the command line:
Options with a single parameter:
-o optionname=Custom.value or
-o optionname=value
Options with multiple parameters:
-o optionname={param1=value1 param2=value2 ...}
* options.c: Refactored the options system to allow for custom
options. As a nice side effect, lots of redundant code (getting
commands / drivervalues for the options, syncing PageSize
and PageRegion) could be removed from foomaticrip.c.
2007-12-21 Lars Uebernickel <larsuebernickel@gmx.de>
* *: Converted foomatic-rip to C and updated the build system.
2007-12-04 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomatic-gswrapper.in: Let Ghostscript always use buffered
input. This works around a Ghostscript bug which prevents
printing encrypted PDF files with Adobe Reader 8.1.1 and
Ghostscript built as shared library (Ghostscript bug #689577,
Ubuntu bug #172264).
2007-11-30 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomatic-rip.in: More bug fixes:
o If the CUPS-style duples option
"-o sides={one|two}-sided[-{long|short}-edge]" was supplied,
the "Duplex" option could be set to "0", "LongEdge", or
"ShortEdge", which do not exist in the "Duplex" options in
PPD files (Thanks to Ricoh Japan for reporting this bug).
o Now all of "LongEdge", "DuplexNoTumble", or "ShortEdge",
"DuplexTumble", are converted to each other if supplied as
value to an enumerated choice option (usually "Duplex") and
this value is not in the list of choices.
o Removed the unused variable "$rangeend" from the
parsepageranges() function.
o Reset the best score for finding the narrowest page range
before treating each option, not only before the first
option. Now jobs with page overrides on more than one
option are executed correctly.
2007-11-23 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomatic-rip.in: Several fixes for bugs found while developing
the foomatic-rip test suite for the LSB 3.2:
o If an option had the default value "0" (enumerated choice,
numerical, string) in the PPD file, the first choice from
the list was set as default and not "0".
o When assigning a non-integer number to an integer option,
the "%%BeginFeature: ..." line of the option inserted into
the PostScript data stream still contained the non-integer
value. Only the value in the code piece was converted to
integer.
o If a non-integer "*FoomaticRIPDefault..." was given for an
integer option it was not converted to integer.
o Boolean options had "0" and "1" as values in the
"%%BeginFeature: ..." lines and not "False" and "True".
o PPD-supplied JCL/PJL options did not get merged with
driver-generated JCL/PJL options when there were spaces
between the JCL command and the "=" (ex: "@PJL SET TRAY = 1").
o Now all of "0", "No", "Off", "False" or "1", "Yes", "On",
"True" are converted to each other if supplied as value to
an enumerated choice option and this value is not in the
list of choices.
2007-10-11 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomatic-rip.in: Allow the parameters of the "*Foomatic..."
lines which formerly had to be given without quotes also to be
given with double quotes. This is to support generation and
manipulation of Foomatic PPDs with the CUPS DDK. The PPD
generator of the CUPS DDK ("ppdc") can create these lines only
with quoted parameters (See http://www.cups.org/str.php?L2551).
2007-07-18 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomatic-rip.in: Added support for suppressing page accounting
on a per-driver basis. Page accounting is deactivated if a line
"*FoomaticNoPageAccounting: True" is found in the PPD file.
2007-03-20 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomatic-rip.in: Performance improvement: Do not match all forms
of DSC comments against every line. Check whether the line is a
DSC comment at all and pass it quickly through if not (Thanks to
Andreas Bolsch, Andreas dot Bolsch at alumni dot TU-Berlin dot
DE, for this patch). Will probably fix Ubuntu bug LP#78781
(https://launchpad.net/bugs/78781).
Fixed bug of custom page sizes not read from the PostScript code
when the size values are in more than one line (as the
"imagetops" CUPS filter outputs them when adapting a
user-supplied custom page size to the aspect ratio of the image,
to not waste roll paper). This fixes CUPS STR #1722
(http://www.cups.org/str.php?L1722), Ubuntu bug LP#42234
(https://launchpad.net/bugs/42234).
Let data structure get written to debug log also if foomatic-rip
exits with an error (only in debug mode).
2007-03-10 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomatic-rip.in: Replaced sysread() and syswrite() by read() and
print() as sysread() and syswrite() is not compatible with the
read() and print() of the other operations. See Ubuntu bug #87597
(https://launchpad.net/bugs/87597).
2007-02-20 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomatic-rip.in: Fixed problem of too high memory consumption
when binary output data of GhostScript is read line-wise and
does not contain line feeds (Ubuntu bug #85569 with driver
"eplaser", Red Hat bug #221194 with driver "lx5000"). Applied
same fix also to binary non-PostScript input data (only relevant
for non-CUPS printing systems).
* README, USAGE, foomatic-rip.in, foomatic-rip.1.in, beh.in,
foomatic-gswrapper.1.in, debian/copyright, debian/control,
debian/README.Debian: Replaced "linuxprinting.org" by
"openprinting.org" or "OpenPrinting".
2006-10-03 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* foomatic-rip.in: Fixed bashism.
2006-08-27 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-gswrapper.in: Support for built-in redirection of
standard output of PostScript programs ("-sstdout=%stderr") in
newer GhostScript versions. More reliable then using /dev/fd/3
(not always available, difficult to check presence) or '|cat >3'
(not seekable and some GhostScript output devices require
seekability of the output file),
2006-07-10 Norm Jacobs <Norm.Jacobs@Sun.COM>
* *: Removed executable permissions from source files which are
not executables
2006-06-15 Norm Jacobs <Norm.Jacobs@Sun.COM>
* foomatic-rip.in: failing to open IPP attributes file shouldn't be
fatal
2006-06-01 Norm Jacobs <Norm.Jacobs@Sun.COM>
* filter.conf: example of a preferred shell setting
* foomatid-rip.in: detect and use a "modern" shell for shell commands
2006-05-17 Norm Jacobs <Norm.Jacobs@Sun.COM>
* foomatic-rip.in: Add support for Solaris LP, made default echo,
fileconverter, and execpath setable through configure options.
* foomatic-gswrapper.in: made default execpath setable through configure
options
* foomatic-rip-1.in: fixed to use @sysconfdir@ for configure
* foomatic-gswrapper-1.in: fixed to use @sysconfdir@ for configure
* configure.ac: made default execpath, fileconverter and echo setable
through configure options. Generate man pages through configure
* makeMan.in: removed, configure now generates the man pages
* Makefile.in: cleaned up some to work with makes other than gmake
* README, USAGE: added Solaris LP
2006-01-06 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* beh.in: Fixed bug of N^2 copies being printed when N copies
were requested.
* configure.in, configure.ac: Renamed configure.in to
configure.ac, to make the package working with the current
versions of aclocal and autoconf.
2005-11-13 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* README, USAGE, beh.in: Updated documentation, to take into
account beh and HPLIP, dropped HPOJ in the documentation.
2005-09-12 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-rip.in: Better support for non-PJL JCLs. If there are
Foomatic options of execution style JCL, they are only prefixed
with "@PJL " if the PPD does not contain a "*JCLBegin:"
expression not containing "PJL" and if the prefix is not
changed by a "*FoomaticJCLPrefix:" in the PPD file. If there
is a "*JCLBegin:" without "PJL" and no "*FoomaticJCLPrefix:"
the JCL commands do not get any prefix. Fixed also bug of
$jobuser and $jobhost not being chomped.
2005-08-15 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* beh.in, configure.in, Makefile.in: Added the "beh" (Backend
Error Handler) CUPS backend. With this the handling of errors
of the CUPS backends (printer communication errors, like
printer not turned on) can be configured, instead of CUPS
simply disabling the print queue.
2005-07-29 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-rip.in: Added substitution of special XML entities by
job data, as date, time, job ID, user name, ... (in function
"unhtmlify()"). This was suggested by George Liu from Ricoh
(george dot liu at ussj dot ricoh dot com), to support jobs
with submission of login/password to the printer.
2005-07-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-rip.in, foomatic-gswrapper.in: Fix for the fix on the

closed in the beginning but was never opened (Thanks to
Hans-Dieter Kosch, hdkosch at t-online dot de, for this fix).
* foomatic-gswrapper.in: Fixed quoting of single quotes (Thanks to
Hans-Dieter Kosch, hdkosch at t-online dot de, for this fix).
* foomatic-rip.in, foomatic-gswrapper.in: Fixed regexp for reading
the config file (Thanks to Hans-Dieter Kosch, hdkosch at

2005-05-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-rip.in: Make EPSF files not be an exception when
checking whether the input file is DSC-conforming. They can also
be DSC-conforming (thanks to Kevin ODonovan, kevin dot odonovan
at nist dot gov, for his report); Let the "FontPath" defined in
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf being used when CUPS is the spooler

report).
2005-05-11 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>

quote unquoted slashes in the allowed characters list or allowed
regexp.
2004-12-20 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-rip.in: Fixed bug of foomatic-rip replacing a JCL
command (ex: "@PJL HOLDKEY=1234") if another which is contained
in the first one is supplied (ex: "@PJL HOLD=STORE"). Thanks to
Jociel Cavalcante Andrade (jcainfo at inf dot ufes dot br) for
reporting the bug and testing the fix.
2004-12-04 Chris Lawrence <lawrencc@debian.org>
* foomatic-rip.in: Include -*- perl -*- for Emacs mode selection.
* foomatic-gswrapper.in: Instead of testing for /dev/fd/*, use
them directly; this gets around some unreliability with
Ghostscript prefiltering that is described in Debian bug report
#271519 (http://bugs.debian.org/271519). Also include -*- perl

error 29 (ESPIPE = "Illegal seek") on "close STDIN;" on some
non-Linux platforms as Unixware 7.1.0, fixed problem of CUPS
page accounting PostScript code in foomatic-rip overriding
already exisiting /EndPage procedures. Added output of error

2004-08-26 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-rip.in: SECURITY FIX: foomatic-rip could execute
arbitrary commands as user "lp" (or however the spooler's
special user is named) on the print server. Advisory ID:
CAN-2004-0801.
The fixes:
- Let unprintable characters be removed from all command line
options and environment variables.
- Let shell escape characters be removed from file names, queue
names, driver options, and some other input strings.
- Let "open" commands for file access always use "<" or ">" to
specify reading or writing.

2003-11-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-rip.in, filter.conf: Added support for CUPS raster
drivers to foomatic-rip. Now CUPS raster drivers can be used
with every spooler.
2003-10-24 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-rip.in: Fixed bug of sometimes an extra blank page
being printed after the job.
2003-10-21 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* configure.in: Added option "--disable-file-converter-check" to
disable checking whether there is a file converter installed.
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: For CUPS a2ps, enscript, or mpage is not needed,
here texttops of CUPS is used be default. So let ./configure
also check for texttops.
* tests/Makefile.in: Continue testing when comparing the result of
a test with the reference file fails, give only a warning in
such a case.
2003-10-20 Patrick Powell <papowell@lprng.com>
* added 'use strict' and -w to the Perl options.
* fixed a large number of undefined or out of scope variable
references discovered by the 'use strict' and -w.
* added 'use Cwd' to get current working directory
* Modified foomatic-rip to auto-sense the LPRng configuration.
This eliminates the need for the --lprng option, unless you want
to use it. You now set the ppd_file option in the printcap to
specify the location of the PPD file:
lp:filter=/path/to/foomatic-rip
:ppd_file=/path/to/ppdfile
or
lp:filter=/path/to/foomatic-rip --ppd=/path/to/ppdfile \
[options]
or
lp:filter=/path/to/foomatic-rip --lprng [options] \
/path/to/ppdfile
(legacy documented foomatic method)
If you specify both, the command line overrides the :ppd_file
New versions of the LPRng 'checkpc' program will check for the
presence of the :ppd_file if it is specified.
* Modified fomatic-rip to be less 'verbose' and not put out blank
lines when used with LPRng. Changed 'dieing' to 'dying' in
error messages, as well as removing some typeos in other places.
* Modified the configure.in, Makefile.in, and makeMan.in scripts
to use the current/latest autoconf conventions. Using
${INSTALL} to do installation and mkinstalldirs to create
directories. Modified the configure script to NOT override the
use of sysconfdir. You can now run the configure script from a
subdirectory. This implies that your filter.conf file will now
be installed in ${sysconfdir}/foomatic/filter.conf, not in
/etc/foomatic/filter.conf. The other foomatic installation
scripts should also be modified to follow this convention.
* The configure script now checks for at least one page converter
(a2ps, enscript, mpage) and errors if one is not installed.
* modified the code for 'echo' to be compatible with the comments in
foomatic-rip. The filter.conf file can now set the echo program.
2003-09-13 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-rip.in: When option settings on the last page of a job
changed and the last page was read completely into the FIFO
before it was printed, the renderer was not restarted to take
into account the option changes.
Added a new workaround for a new bug in the PostScript generated
by OpenOffice.org 1.1.0.

* foomatic-rip.in: Fixes on JCL header merging, support for nested
composite options.
2003-07-30 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-rip.in: If a printer/driver combo has Foomatic-defined
JCL options and the driver already generates a JCL header, the
JCL options are merged into the header produced by the driver.

* foomatic-rip.in: Let "echo" commands in the renderer command
line being replaced by $myecho, so that printing on non-GNU
systems with user-selected GNU "echo" command works.
2003-04-29 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* *: Tagged CVS for the release of foomatic-filters 3.0.0.
Tag name: "foomatic-filters-3_0_0".
* README, USAGE: Updated for version 3.0.0.
* foomatic-rip.1.in: Updated linuxprinting.org link for 3.0.0.

* *: Tagged CVS for the release of foomatic-filters 3.0.0rc2.
Tag name: "foomatic-filters-3_0_0rc2".
* README, USAGE: Updated for version 3.0.0rc2.
* foomatic-rip.1.in: Added missing substitutions for special
characters in postpipe.
2003-04-21 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-rip.in: added restriction for allowed strings by means
of lists of allowed characters (PPD keyword:
'*FoomaticRIPOptionAllowedChars <option>: "..."') and Perl
regular expressions (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.
Several bug fixes done for the string options.
2003-04-13 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* *: Tagged CVS for the release of foomatic-filters 3.0.0rc1.
Tag name: "foomatic-filters-3_0_0rc1".
* README, USAGE: Updated for version 3.0.0rc1.
2003-04-12 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-rip.in: Introduced string and password options.
2003-04-07 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-rip.in: Currently, the renderer is re-started whenever
an arbitrary option is changed from one page to the next one.
For PostScript options this is not really needed when one resets
the PostScript state from before the beginning of the page. Done
tests with saving the state before and restoring it after every
page, but this did not work as the "showpage" cannot be bracketed
by "(g)save"/"(g)restore". See Adobe's "PostScript Language
Document Structuring Convention (DSC) Specification Version 3.0"
(http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/technotes/postscript.html),
section 4.3, "Use of showpage" (p. 26). Problem is that "showpage",
"(g)save", and "(g)restore" are often in macros/subroutines, so
they are not easily visible so that one can easily insert option
settings or saving/restoring of the PostScript state at the correct
place. So for now inserting saving/restoring lines is commented out
in foomatic-rip and the renderer is restarted at every option
change ("optionsequal(, , , 0)") and not only after changes of
JCL or command line options ("optionsequal(, , , 1)").
Fixed bug of Prolog and DocumentSetup sections created by
foomatic-rip when first "%%Page: ..." is found not being added
to the PostScript header data .
2003-04-06 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-rip.in: Added support for applying options only to
selected pages via the command line. Now options can be
preceeded by a page specification:
CUPS, GNUlpr, CPS, no spooler:
lpr -o 1:InputSlot=Letterhead
lpr -o even:Watermark=on
lpr -o 1,6-10,15,20-:MediaType=YellowPaper
LPRng:
lpr -Z 1-2:MediaType=Cardboard
LPD:
lpr -J "1,6-10,15,20-:MediaType=YellowPaper"
PPR (RIP):
ppr --ripopts "1:InputSlot=Letterhead"
PPR (Interface)
ppr -i "1:InputSlot=Letterhead"
The syntax is "even", "odd", or giving comma-separated page
numbers or page ranges. Applying options to selected pages with
PDQ is not supported.

2003-03-07 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-rip.in: Workaround for bug in OpenOffice.org.
OpenOffice.org puts "%%BeginSetup...%%EndSetup" section with
option settings valid for the whole document after the first
"%%Page:..." line. So without the workaround all settings made
with the "Properties" button in the "File"|"Print" dialog
applied only to the first page, the other pages were printed
with the printer's default settings. Fixed also some typos.
2003-03-06 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>

removed from the list of files to be printed.
2003-03-05 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-rip.in: Fixed bug of settings for composite options
stuffed into the PostScript job data by applications (as
OpenOffice.org) being ignored; added support for
"FoomaticRIPDefault..." keywords in numerical options (see
http://www.linuxprinting.org/pipermail/foomatic-devel/2003q1/001250.html).
2003-02-22 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>

/dev/fd/* for standard input, standard output, and standard
error. Support of block reading from standard input ("-_"
instead of "-" on GhostScript command line), use block
reading preferrably.
* foomatic-rip.in: Made sure that an absolute path for the PPD
file is inserted in the PDQ driver description file, suppress
log output on standard error whenn generating a PDQ driver
description file.

* Makefile.in, configure.in, makeMan.in: Updated Makefile
infrastructure to let the package correctly build the man page
and link foomatic-rip into the filter directories of CUPS and
PPR.
* foomatic-rip.in: Allow more than one occurence of the same spot
("%A", "%B", ...) in the RIP command line prototype, so that one
option setting can act on several points of the command line
(was an old TODO point of Grant).
* foomatic-rip.1.in: Continued working on the man page for
foomatic-rip.
* foomatic-gswrapper.in: Fall back to "| cat >&3" and "-" instead
of "/dev/fd/3" and "/dev/fd/0", if the file descriptor directory
/dev/fd does not exist.
* README, USAGE, TODO: Updated the package documentation.
2002-11-26 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-rip.in: Added instructions for using a custom page size
to the documentation page output ("-o docs") for the PPR RIP
mode of foomatic-rip.
* src/*.in, src/Makefile, lpdomatic.8.in, directomatic.1.in:
Removed the old spooler-specific filters, they are replaced
by foomatic-rip now.
* Makefile.in, configure.in: Removed stuff to build the old
src/*omatic filter.
* foomatic-rip.1.in: Added man page for foomatic-rip.
2002-11-25 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-rip.in: Various fixes and adaptations to make
foomatic-rip well working together with the new
foomatic-configure:
Support for raw queues under all spoolers and spooler-less
printing.
When foomatic-rip is used as a PPR RIP, it accepts also options
through the new "--ripopts" option of the "ppr" command of PPR
1.50 now.
Accept "-o <option>=<value>" on the command line also when one
uses foomatic-rip as a PPR RIP, so one can easily set defaults
using
ppad rip <printer> foomatic-rip x -o <option>=<value> -o <switch>
Fixed bug which broke renderer command lines composed from
several shell commands in debug mode.
Read Foomatic IDs from the PPD file.
Make default configuration file for spooler-less printing being
/etc/foomatic/direct/.config and PPD files being searched in
/etc/foomatic/direct.
In debug mode debug logging is started in the beginning of the
parsing of the command line options, right after checking the
options relevant for logging.
2002-11-16 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-rip.in: Added legacy interface for old Foomatic 2.0 PPD
files. Now foomatic-rip accepts all PPD files except the ones
for native CUPS drivers.
Fixed output of sample command line in the help page generator,
also do not display options with only one choice on the help
page.
Do not range check numerical options when building the command
line, we did it already when obtaining the option settings from
the command line, the PPD file, and the job data.
2002-11-15 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-rip.in: Now all spoolers, including PDQ, are supported
and tested successfully. With foomatic-rip all spoolers can be
used with PPD files now, either PPD files supplied by printer
manufacturers for their PostScript printers or Foomatic (2.9.x)
PPD files.
Added "buildpdqdriver()" function and "--genpdq"/"--appendpdq"
command line options to build PDQ driver declaration files which
call foomatic-rip for the dirty work and offer all options
available in the PPD file to the PDQ user. They accept all file
types, so PostScript and all, what the file conversion filter in
use ("a2ps", "enscript", "mpage") understands, can be printed.
Setup of a printer under PDQ as follows:
cp foomatic-rip /usr/bin
cp myprinter.ppd /etc/foomatic (or ~/.foomatic/)
chmod 666 /dev/lp* (or /dev/usb/lp*)
foomatic-rip -P myprinter \
--genpdq /usr/lib/pdq/drivers/misc/myprinter.pdq
xpdq (set up the printer, right-click -> "Add Printer")
The first three lines are the same as for spooler-less printing.
In The "foomatic-rip" line one can add options (with "-o") to
change the defaults in the PDQ driver declaration file.
Improvements on documentation page generation: Support for "-o
switch"/"-o noswitch" for boolean options. Minor text
corrections.
2002-11-14 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-rip.in: Now all spoolers (except PDQ) are tested
successfully.
Added support for foomatic-rip running as a PPR
RIP (PPR 1.5x), before it could only run as a PPR interface. To
use it as a PPR RIP one sets up the print queue as follows:
ln -s foomatic-rip /usr/lib/ppr/lib/
ppad interface foo parallel /dev/lp0
ppad ppd foo /path/to/foo.ppd
ppad rip foo foomatic-rip other x
(the "x" in the end of the last line is needed to work around a
bug.)
Use "PPR_VERSION" environment variable to auto-detect whether
PPR is the spooler.
The parsing of the command line options did not work with the
Getopt::Long Perl library when using LPRng as the spooler. The
problem is that LPRng uses short options (one hyphen and one
letter) and lets the argument follow without space
("-ZPageSize=A4"), on this Getopt::Long chokes. Replaced
Getopt::Long by a self-made method to parse the options.
Prepared foomatic-rip for PDQ support.
Added comment about the supported spoolers.
2002-11-13 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-rip.in: The basic functionality of foomatic-rip is now
implemented, all features of the old "*omatic" filters are also
available in foomatic-rip.
Now text and other non-PostScript files can be printed,
foomatic-rip calles "a2ps", "enscript", or "mpage" automatically
when it detects a non-PostScript file.
Improved command lines of "a2ps", "enscript", and "mpage" to
generate wider margins (so that nothing gets cut off) and
wrapping of too long lines (to not loose information).
The "docs" option lets a help page being printed, independent of
the file originally sent. This works also with manufacturer-
supplied PPD files of PostScript printers. CUPS prints the
documentation page with its native "texttops" filter by default,
but this can be changed to "a2ps", "enscript", or "mpage" with
"textfilter" line in /etc/foomatic/filter.conf.
Custom page sizes work also on manufacturer-supplied PPD files
now,
Fixed control of quiet, verbose, and debug mode from the command
line ("-q", "-v", "--debug").
foomatic-rip used without spooler does not have any console
output any more (except error messages). Use the "-v"
("Verbose") for log output on the console and "--debug" for
debug log files.
Debugging files are now /tmp/foomatic-rip.log (log file) and
/tmp/foomatic-rip.ps (PostScript data pre-processed by
foomatic-rip, as it is stuffed into the renderer).
When using CUPS as the spooler, lists of the command line
options with which foomatic-rip was called are only written to
the log when in debug mode, so that Mac OS X does not produce
lines for the "error_log" of CUPS which have more than 1024
characters, as this makes CUPS aborting the job.
Fixed PPR spooler auto-detection. Now foomatic-rip should
work as a PPR interface as ppromatic.
Additional comments about non-PostScript and documentation
printing and also about the kid processes of foomatic-rip
and what they do.
Minor clean-ups.
2002-11-11 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-rip.in: Now it should be possible not only to use the
new (Perl-free, version 2.9.x) Foomatic PPD files with
foomatic-rip, but also manufacturer-supplied PPD files of
PostScript printers. This way one can use these PPD files with
every spooler and also spooler-less.
The settings of "PageSize" and "PageRegion" are kept in sync
now, so on does not need to take care whether "PageSize" or
"PageRegion" is used to set the paper size.
The "*JCL..." keywords in PostScript files of PostScript
printers are recognized, so the JCL options of the files are
taken into account and the user can adjust them.
Remove "dossy" ("\r\n") line ends from the lines read from the
PPD file, so also PPD files downloaded under Windows should be
correctly parsed.
Bugfix: Allow trailing whitespace in "*OrderDependency" lines of
the PPD file, for all other keywords trailing whitespace was
already allowed.
Added more comments about the PostScript parsing, especially
about stuffing in PostScript code from command line options
and default settings.
Workaround for "dvips" bug that it misses inserting a
"%%BeginProlog" comment. This will now be handled correctly.
Make sure that code for default and command line option settings
get also inserted in the job when it has the DSC magic string
("%!PS-Adobe-..") but is not DSC-conforming in reality.
To be more general, use the expression "JCL" (Job Control
Language) instead of "PJL" (Print Job Language) for variable
names and comments.
Some minor clean-ups.
2002-11-10 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-rip.in: Now it should be possible to print with all
spoolers, but only PostScript, no plain text or help pages.
Added code to parse the command line options,
now one can control jobs also by command line options and not
only by stuffing settings into the PostScript file.
Insert code of PostScript options into the appropriate sections
of the PostScript job. This is not done for CUPS as there the
"pstops" filter does it already.
Correct option settings for numerical options which the "pstops"
already inserts. "pstops" inserts the default setting when the
user-supplied value is not one of the choices in the PPD file.
Now foomatic-rip replaces the default value by the correct value
from the command line (or from "/.lpoptions).
Inserted page accounting code for CUPS.
If an enumerated choice option has only one choice, set this one
as the default choice. There was no default set before.
Support for postpipes (command line into which to stuff the
output of the renderer).
2002-11-09 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-rip.in: foomatic-rip is one filter to be used with
all spoolers now (Currently CUPS works without accounting
and spooler-less printing only to stdout and without
inserting of command line options).
Completed spooler auto-detection and loading of queue and
job information needed for executing the job.
Introduced loop to print more than one file per job (needed
for spooler-less printing).
Parse definition of a postpipe (command into which output of
renderer will be piped) in the PPD file, using the syntax
'*FoomaticRIPPostPipe: "..."'. Use of the postpipe needs still
to be implemented. The postpipe is needed for LPD/LPRng/GNUlpr
and spooler-less printing.
2002-11-07 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-rip.in: foomatic-rip works also as a CUPS filter,
without any modifications and without wrapper. Accounting
and help page is not supported yet. It is planned to also use
it as filter for the other spoolers without wrapper (spooler
auto-detection).
Made foomatic-rip also recognizing option
settings embedded in PostScript files with "dossy" line ends
("\r\n").
Made it more tolerant against not exactly DSC-conforming
PostScript. as for example CUPS' "pstops" does not put page-
specific option settings between "%%BeginPageSetup" and
"%%EndPageSetup".
Handle the problem that there can be a "%%PS-Adobe" header, but
the document is not DSC-conforming. Stop parsing when the next
DSC section is not found after a certain amount of lines.
Parse also "%%BeginProlog", "%%EndProlog", "%%BeginSetup",
"%%EndSetup", "%%BeginFeature", and "%%EndFeature" comments so
that additional option settings can be inserted.
2002-11-06 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* src/*omatic.pl.in: Made filters also recognizing option settings
embedded in PostScript files with "dossy" line ends ("\r\n").
2002-11-03 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-rip.in: "foomatic-rip", the filter to translate
PostScript input to the printer's native language using printer
capability info from a new Perl-free PPD file. It expects the
name of the PPD file in the environment variable PPD or with the
"-p" command line option and the PostScript on standard input,
the job translated to the printer's native language appears as
standard output.
The filter recognizes DSC-conforming PostScript documents and
searches for inserted options settings at all allowed places
without loading the whole document into memory. It handles also
command line and PJL arguments given onely for certain pages, in
this case the renderer (usually GhostScript) is restarted with a
new command line and/or new prepended PJL. For
non-DSC-conforming documents only settings in the beginning of
the file are recognized.
* Makefile.in, configure.in: Taken into account the new
"foomatic-rip" filter.
2002-10-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* src/*omatic.pl.in: 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

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-filters.
* configure.in, Makefile.in: Removed all portions not needed for
foomatic-filters.
* configure.in, Makefile.in, makeMan.in, lpdomatic.8.in,

* 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").

"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.
2002-09-26 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/driver/Postscript.xml: Updated text for new PPD 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>
* db/source/opt/*, db/source/driver/pnm2ppa.xml: Cleaned up
options for the "pnm2ppa" driver.

2110, 2210, removed HP PSC 300.
2002-08-24 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* src/cupsomatic.pl.in, src/directomatic.pl.in, src/lpdomatic.pl.in:
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.

* data-generators/hpijs/hpijs-generator,
data-generators/hpijs/hpijs-printermap: Updated to HPIJS 1.2.1,

"use lib/Foomatic/;" must be inserted to make the scripts using
the Foomatic libraries from the source tree and not the system-
wide ones.
2002-08-10 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* data-generators/hpijs/hpijs-generator: Given the short name
"Resolution" to the "Quality, MediaType, Ink Type" option,
so it gets accessable in the GIMP.

models (HP DeskJet 6xx, Apollo) do only 600x300 dpi and not 600
dpi in best grayscale mode.
* db/source/opt/69.xml: Set default quality mode for the "cdjXXX"
and "chp2200" drivers to "Normal" instead of "Presentation".

started stable branch "foomatic-2_0-branch".
2002-07-18 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-combo-xml.c: Added facilities for drivers to suppress
the usage of PJL option by adding a "<nopjl />" flag to the
"<execution>" section of a driver's XML file. This can be used

CVS.
2002-04-17 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* 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
name is only "Bx" without "JIS" or "ISO". This is also the
default of GhostScript.
* Makefile.in: Fixed bug of database going to
/usr/local/share/share/foomatic.

src/ppromatic.pl: Introduced a GNU-autoconf-generated "configure"
script, now one can easily install Foomatic with the well-known
"./configure; make; make install".
2002-04-12 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-ppdload: Switched foomatic-ppdload to the new
Perl-XML/Grove-free DB.pm.
* foomatic-ppdload, foomatic-ppdload.8.in: Added "-R" option to
remove a printer from the "ppd" driver.
* README: Removed paragraph that foomatic-ppdload needs the old
Perl-XML/Grove DB.pm.
* lib/Foomatic/PPD.pm: Let the "PageRegion" option in the PPD file
being skipped when creating Foomatic XML data. It is te same
option as "PageSize".
* db/source/driver/Postscript.xml: Corrected HTML tags.
2002-04-10 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-perl-data.c: Added reading of auto-detection data also
for the USB and SNMP connection types. Added support for returning
commants and texts in other languages the english ("-l <language>"
command line option).
* db/source/printer/HP-PSC_750.xml: Added USB auto-detection info.
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>
* src/ppromatic.pl: Made ppromatic also working in non-english
configurations.
2002-03-28 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/printer/HP-LaserJet_12?0.xml: New user report
for the LaserJet 1200/1220.
* db/source/*/*: Added new Kyocera models: FS-1000+, FS-1010,
FS-1800, FS-1900, FS-3800, FS-9100DN, FS-9500-DN.
* db/source/driver/stp.xml: Added warning that this file is only
for Gimp-Print 4.0.x.
2002-03-27 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-combo-xml.c: Added possibility to modify the default
option settings in the generated XML ("-o" command line option
for foomatic-combo-xml).
2002-03-26 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/printer/153056.xml: Updated text of the HP DeskJet
340C according to a new user report.

2002-03-24 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/printer/HP-LaserJet_12?0.xml: LaserJet 1200/1220 is
very slow in graphics, added user report.
2002-03-21 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/printer/*: Updated text of all HP printers and
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.
* db/source/*/*: Added the Okidata OL400e, HP OfficeJet D125, and
HP LaserJet 3310 MFP and updated the driver data appropriately.
* db/source/*/*: Removed spaces from the names of the Okidata
OLxxx models, so that they get correctly sorted in the printer
listings. Modified option entries appropriately.
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>
* db/source/printer/*: Corrected entries for Brother printers
driven by the "hl7x0" driver.

of the "hpijs" driver.
* db/source/*/*: "Photo Full Bleed" paper size is only supported by
the PhotoSmart P100 for the "hpijs" driver, fixed Foomatic data.
2002-03-08 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/*/*: Added the Canon BJC-255SP and BJC-265SP. Modified
"bjx250gs" driver entry appropriately.
2002-03-07 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-configure: When "foomatic-configure" creates a queue
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,
Okidata Okipage 14ex, OL400, Xerox Able 1406, Anitech M24,
Citizen printiva600U, printiva700, printiva1700, Alps MD-2010,
MD-2300, MD-5500. Added these printers to the appropriate driver
entries.

by debconf.
2002-02-09 Manfred Wassmann <manolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de>
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Check if existing cache file is empty.
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.

* 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>

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,
db/source/printer/642674.xml: Added the Paperweight "Minolta

2001-12-14 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-configure: Made "-f" (Force compilation) flag working
for overview request ("-O").
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Functions using "foomatic-combo-xml" check

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>

* db/source/driver/bjc600.xml, db/source/opt/6.xml: Added Canon
BJC-2010 to the "bjc600" driver.
* db/source/printer/Canon-BJ-100.xml: New printer entry: Canon

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.

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>

driver), corrections on Lexmark Z42.
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.

facility.
* README: Adapted to all recent changes.
* TODO: Removed the topic about speed and memory consumption, this
is solved by foomatic-combo-xml.c now.
2001-09-02 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-combo-xml.c: Added functionality for generating the
overview XML file ("-O" option). Makes the overview XML
generation much faster, less than a second on most machines.
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Let the overview XML generation be done
preferrably by foomatic-combo-xml.c.
* Makefile: Added the removal of the foomatic-combo-xml binary
to the "clean" section, let foomatic-preferred-driver be
installed in /usr/sbin.
* foomatic-preferred-driver: Bugfix: Often default driver entries
were not inserted into the printer XML file.
* db/source/driver/ppmtocpva.xml: Added the Alps MD-1500 printer.
2001-08-29 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/printer/*: Several fixes on the comments of the HP
OfficeJets.
* db/source/*/*: Added the Apple LaserWriter 4/600.
* db/source/printer/605074.xml, db/source/printer/609714.xml:
Correction: The HP LaserJet 5Si and 3200se support PJL.
* db/source/driver/lj5gray.xml: Removed duplicate entry for the
HP LaserJet 5Si.
2001-08-28 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* foomatic-combo-xml.c: C program to build XML files for
printer/driver combos, around 600 times faster than the perl
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.
* Makefile, makeDefaults: Integration of foomatic-combo-xml.c.
2001-08-26 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/driver/*: Removed printer entry 207945 from the printer
list of the "laserjet" and "stp" drivers, the printer was deleted.
2001-08-25 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/printer/HP-DesignJet_750.xml: added HP DesignJet 750,
it is supported by Gimp-Print now.
2001-08-24 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/*/*: Added a whole bunch of japanese printers and
drivers, thanks to Crutcher Dunnavant from Red Hat.
* db/source/driver/md2k.xml: Added the Alps MD-1500.
* foomatic-preferred-driver: Priorities for the japanese drivers.
* db/source/*/*: Corrected driver names for Epson's colour lasers.
2001-08-23 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
* db/source/printer/*: Added the recent Epson laser printers: Epson
EPL-5800, EPL-N1600, EPL-N2050, EPL-N2050+, EPL-N2750, AcuLaser
C2000, C8500.
* db/source/printer/Brother*: Small adjustments of the entries.
* db/source/printer/*: Added the new Epson lasers to the drivers
"Postscript", "pxlmono", "lj5gray", "lj5mono", "cljet5".
* 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).

* 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.
