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> * foomatic-rip.in: Fixed bug that unreadable/missing files are not 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> * foomatic-rip.in: Introduced mode for the spooler CPS (Coherent Printing System). 2003-02-13 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * foomatic-rip.in: Fixed bug in reading a custom page size from the PostScript input file. 2003-02-03 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * *: Tagged CVS for the release of foomatic-filters 3.0.0beta1. Tag name: "foomatic-filters-3_0_0beta1". * README, USAGE: Updated for version 3.0.0beta1. * COPYING: Added file containing the GPL. 2002-12-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * *: Tagged CVS for the release of foomatic-filters 2.9.1. Tag name: "foomatic-filters-2_9_1". * README, USAGE: Updated for version 2.9.1. 2002-12-09 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * foomatic-rip.in: Introduced support for composite options. 2002-12-08 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * foomatic-gswrapper.in: If there is no /dev/fd/3, don't use /dev/fd/3 for standard output. Use the good old "| cat >&3". 2002-12-04 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * *: Tagged CVS for the release of foomatic-filters 2.9.0. Tag name: "foomatic-filters-2_9_0". 2002-12-01 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * foomatic-gswrapper.in: If there is no /dev/fd/0, don't use /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. 2002-11-29 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * *: Tagged CVS for the release of foomatic-filters 2.9.0pre1. Tag name: "foomatic-filters-2_9_0pre1". 2002-11-28 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * foomatic-rip.in: Fixed comment text. * filter.conf: Updated comment text. * USAGE: Fixed typo. 2002-11-27 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * 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 2002-10-10 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * *: Set revision number of all files to 3.0. 2002-10-09 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * README, USAGE: Updated documentation according to the splitted packages. 2002-10-08 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * *: Splitted Foomatic into four packages: - foomatic-filters: Filter scripts used by the spoolers to convert the incoming PostScript data into the printer's native format using a printer/driver specific PPD file - foomatic-db-engine: Foomatic's database engine generates PPD files from the data in Foomatic's XML database. It also contains scripts to directly generate print queues and handle jobs. - foomatic-db: The collected knowledge about printers, drivers, and driver options in XML files, used by foomatic-db-engine to generate PPD files. - foomatic-db-hpijs: Foomatic XML data generator for HP's HPIJS driver. This package is foomatic-filters. * configure.in, Makefile.in: Removed all portions not needed for foomatic-filters. * configure.in, Makefile.in, makeMan.in, lpdomatic.8.in, directomatic.1.in: Made insertion of paths in man pages working without Defaults.pm. * configure.in: Fixed check to set /etc instead of /usr/local/etc as $sysconfdir. * mfomatic.in: This file was not maintained for long time and noone asked for it, removed. 2002-10-07 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * data-generators/hpijs/hpijs-printermap, db/source/printer/HP-Business_Inkjet_3000.xml: The HP Business Inkjet 3000 does not work with the HPIJS driver. * db/source/printer/122496.xml, db/source/printer/HP-DesignJet_750.xml: Removed hint that IJS driver has problem with large paper sizes. This is fixed. 2002-10-06 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/opt/*: Added "largeformat-PageSize.xml" special page size option for large format printers (drivers "dnj650c" and "Postscript"). Now Foomatic supports paper sizes larger than A3 with these printers. 2002-10-05 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/*/*: Added the "lz11" driver entry (enhanced version of "cZ11" for the Lexmark Z11 printer). * db/source/printer/*: Fixed auto-detection info of the HP Color LaserJet 4500 and removed wrong auto-detection info from the Kyocera FS-1200. 2002-10-03 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/*/*: Added driver entry "lxm3200-tweaked", the "lxm3200" driver modified to also support the Lexmark Z31 and Z12. * db/source/printer/*: Rated the Lexmark Z31 as "Mostly" and the Z12 as "Partially", due to the "lxm3200-tweaked" driver. * db/source/printer/Epson-Stylus_CX3200.xml: Changed rating to "Paperweight" (nothing known about this device yet). * db/source/*/*: Fixed "stc300.upp" driver, execution information was missing, new URL. * db/source/*/*: Added the Epson MJ 520C to the list of supported printers of the "stcolor", "stcany.upp", and "stc300.upp" drivers. It is unclear whether it works with GIMP-Print. 2002-10-02 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/printer/*: Added more japanese Epson inkjets: Epson CL 700, 750, Epson EM 900C, 900CN, 930C, 930CN, MC 2000, 7000, 9000, MJ 520C, 5100C, 6000C, 8000C, PM 760C, 800C, 820C, 850PT, 2200C, 3300C, 5000C, PX 7000, 9000. * db/source/printer/*: Added the Epson Stylus Photo 825, 1290S, EX3, Stylus CX3200. * db/source/printer/*: Removed broken printer entries for the Epson PM 760C, 770C, 800C, 820C/3300C, "Stylus PM760", "Stylus PM820". * db/source/printer/*: Re-rated the Epson Stylus Photo 785, 825, 875, 895, 915, and 925 from "Perfectly" to "Mostly" because one cannot access the photo card readers with free software. Also updated the text appropriately. * db/source/printer/Epson-Stylus_Pro*: Removed hint that IJS driver has problem with large paper sizes. This is fixed. * db/source/driver/filter*, db/source/opt/jap*: Removed the "filter*" drivers. I don't know where one can download these drivers. * db/source/driver/PM*: Updated the driver entries to use the new, correct printer entries. 2002-10-01 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/printer/*: Added japanese Epson inkjets: Epson MC 5000, 1000, PM 700C, 730C, 750C, 770C, 780C, 790PT, 880C, 950C, 2000C, 3000C, 3500C, 4000PX, 7000C, 9000C, 10000. 2002-09-30 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * data-generators/hpijs/hpijs-printermap, db/source/printer/*: Bugfix: The HP DeskJet 612x printers do not support full-bleed printing. * data-generators/hpijs/hpijs-printermap, db/source/*/*: Added the HP Business Inkjet 3000, DesignJet 5500, 5500ps, LaserJet 5100, Color LaserJet 2500, 5500. 2002-09-29 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * data-generators/hpijs-rss/*: Added support for HPIJS patched by Matthias Bunte and Richard Spencer-Smith (see http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/printing/hpijs/). The driver entry name is "hpijs-rss". * data-generators/hpijs/hpijs-generator: Mentioned that the current Foomatic data is also for HPIJS 1.2.2. * data-generators/hpijs/hpijs-printermap, db/source/printer/*: Added the HP DeskJet 450, 3320, 6122, 6127, PhotoSmart P230, PSC 2150. * data-generators/hpijs*/hpijs*-generator: Corrected "Best Grayscale" modes for the HP DeskJet 350, 6xxC series, and the Apollo printers, the mode supports only 600x300 (not 300x300) dpi and all except the DeskJet 350 and the 63xC series use both and not only the black cartridge. * db/source/printer/*: Changed recommended driver to "hpijs-rss" when it was "hpijs" before (the patched version has better output quality). * db/source/printer/*: Raised ratings of all "DJ9xx"-class HP inkjets without fax facility from "Mostly" to "Perfectly". Updated the texts of all "DJ9xx"-class models (because of the patched HPIJS, "hpijs-rss"). * db/source/printer/*: Raised ratings of the HP PPA printers (supported by the "pnm2ppa" driver from "Mostly" to "Perfectly", the driver supports their full functionality. * db/source/driver/PostScript.xml: Added link to Kurt Pfeifle's tutorial chapter about PostScript to the text of the "Postscript" driver entry. 2002-09-27 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * src/cupsomatic.pl.in: Made command line option list only be logged in debug mode. Mac OS X adds very many options to the CUPS filter chain and so the option list gets longer than 1024 bytes and this CUPS cannot handle in its error_log file. 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. 2002-08-30 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/printer/HP-LaserJet_1000.xml: Updated text and rating ("Partially") according to a longer posting of the author of the "pbmtozjs" driver. * db/source/driver/oki4w.xml: Added additional hint about the setup of print queues with this driver to the text. 2002-08-29 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/driver/pbmtozjs.xml, db/source/opt/pbmtozjs-PageSize.xml: Added driver for the HP LaserJet 1000. * db/source/printer/HP-LaserJet_1000.xml: Updated text and rating ("Mostly"). * foomatic-configure.in, configure.in, Makefile.in, makeDefaults.in, USAGE: Added support for HPOJ 0.9. * README, USAGE: Corrected version number. 2002-08-27 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/printer/*: Added the HP PSC 2110 and 2210, replaced the HP PSC 300 by the HP PSC 370 and 380, text fixes for the HP DeskJet 5550 and 5551, PhotoSmart 7150, 7350, and 7550, Epson Stylus C61 and C62. * db/source/printer/*: Corrected/updated "Recommended driver" and texts for Epson Stylus Photo 950, 960, 2100, 2200, Stylus Pro 7600, 9600, and HP DeskJet 3420. * data-generators/hpijs/hpijs-printermap: Added HP PSC 370, 380, 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. 2002-08-22 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * data-generators/hpijs/hpijs-generator, data-generators/hpijs/hpijs-printermap: Updated to HPIJS 1.2.1, previous file versions in data-generators/hpijs/ tagged with "hpijs-1_2-files". * *: Before the update to HPIJS 1.2.1 tagged all files of the repository with "hpijs-1_2". * db/source/printer/*: Switched "recommended driver" of the HP DeskJet 400 and 420C to "hpijs", updated text and rating of HP DeskJet 420C. 2002-08-17 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/printer/*: Added the Epson Stylus Photo 830, 915, 925, Epson Stylus C41UX, C41SX, C42SX, C61, C62, C82. * db/source/printer/*: Fixes on text and rating for the Epson Stylus Color 880, 980, 8 3, C42UX, C80. 2002-08-12 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * Makefile.in: In the "inplace" mode the line "use lib/;" and not "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. 2002-08-09 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/printer/*: Text fixes for the HP OfficeJet 6xx/7xx and OfficeJet Pro 1175C (thanks to David Paschal for all the info). * db/source/printer/186729.xml: Corrected auto-detection data for the HP DeskJet 970C. 2002-08-08 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/printer/*: Adapted texts of the printer entries to the new HPOJ 0.9 (all devices scan with SANE now and photo cards are supported by the stable version), also corrected the address of the SANE home page in the printer entries.

David Suffield, developer of "hpijs" at HP told that they work with that driver. * db/source/driver/*: Corrected URLs of the drivers which come with GhostScript (GNU GhostScript 7.05 instead of 6.51). 2002-05-23 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/printer/*: Fixed URLs in several printer entries (added missing "http://"). 2002-05-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * README, USAGE: Added information that make_configure needs libxml 2.x.Fixed some typos. * foomatic-fix-xml.in: Fixed initial comment. 2002-05-18 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * data-generators/hpijs/*, db/source/*/hpijs*, Makefile.in: Included generator script for HPIJS in the Foomatic package, the appropriate entries are generated during the build process now. * Makefile.in: Added "uninstall" targets. 2002-05-16 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/printer/Lexmark-Z13.xml: Added the Lexmark Z13 to the printer database. * db/source/*/*: Fixed HPIJS data for the HP DeskJet 825C/845C: they do grayscale with the black cartridge and not with the color cartridge. 2002-05-15 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * foomatic-preferred-driver.in: Updated driver priority list to give higher priority to the old HP LaserJet/PCL drivers coming with GhostScript than to GIMP-Print. The old drivers work better on laser printers. * db/source/printer/*: Use the old GhostScript driers ("ljet4", "laserjet", ...) instead of "gimp-print-ijs" as recommended driver for laser printers. 2002-05-11 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * foomatic-preferred-driver.in: Updated driver priority list. * db/source/printer/*: Use "gimp-print-ijs" as recommended driver where "gimp-print" was the recommended driver before. * db/source/driver/lm1100.xml: Added hint how to compile it with gcc 3.1 to the description text. 2002-05-10 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/driver/hpijs.xml: Corrected version number in "hpijs" driver entry to be 1.1. 2002-05-09 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/*/*: Added HP Business Inkjet 2230 and 2280 printers. * db/source/*/*: Updated HPIJS driver entries to version 1.1. * db/source/printer/HP-PhotoSmart_P100.xml: Raised the HP PhotoSmart P100 to "Perfectly". 2002-05-07 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/*/*: Added the printer models HP OfficeJet, OfficeJet LX, OfficeJet 300, 330, 350, PhotoSmart. Updated driver entries "pcl3", "hpdj", and "djet500" appropriately. * db/source/printer/*: small corrections on the HP DeskJet 520, 560C, Olivetti JP450, DEC DECwriter 110i. 2002-05-05 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Let paper size also be read from "-dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=..."/"-dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=...", needed for "gimp-print-ijs" and "hpijs" drivers. 2002-04-22 Manfred Wassmann <manolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de> * foomatic-perl-data.1.in: Created basic manpage for foomatic-perl-data. 2002-04-18 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Added some more paper sizes to the "getpapersize()" function, according to DeviceForm.cpp on the OMNI 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. * foomatic-configure.in: Made "foomatic-configure -Q -q -r" working correctly with CUPS 1.1.14. * Makefile.in, makeDefaults.in, configure.in, lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Eliminated dependency on the "libwww-perl" Perl library, used command line tools "wget" or "curl" instead. Now Foomatic should work only with standard Perl libraries as being part of Perl itself. * USAGE, README: Added the requirement of one of the tools "wget" and "curl". * db/source/driver/gdi.xml: Updates URLs. 2002-04-16 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/*/*: Added HP 2000C/2500C/2500CM to the "hpijs" driver, Removed 1200-dpi hires mode from HP Business Inkjet 22xx models. * db/source/*/*: Added HP Business Inkjet 2600 * db/source/*/*: Text corrections on HP Business Inkjet 22xx printers. * foomatic-kitload.in: Let existing files not being overwritten unless the "-f" ("force") switch is used, improved screen output, "CVS" subdirectories in the kit get ignored. * lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: In the "getexecdocs()" function apply the "htmlify()" to all strings which are shown on the web page. Added paper sizes for the "omni" driver to the "getpapersizes()" function. 2002-04-15 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * USAGE: Improvements on the installation instructions. * make_configure: Added a workaround for a bug in the autoconf macros of libxml2. * db/source/*/*: Fixed entries for the HP 2000C/2500C/2500CM printers. 2002-04-14 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * configure.in, acinclude.m4, Makefile.in, Makefile, install-sh, make_configure, makeMan.in, makeMan, makeDefaults.in, makeDefaults, foomatic-addpjloptions.in, foomatic-addpjloptions, foomatic-cleanupdrivers.in, foomatic-cleanupdrivers, foomatic-compiledb.in, foomatic-compiledb, foomatic-configure.in, foomatic-configure, foomatic-datafile.in, foomatic-datafile, foomatic-fix-xml.in, foomatic-fix-xml, foomatic-getpjloptions.in, foomatic-getpjloptions, foomatic-gswrapper.in, foomatic-gswrapper, foomatic-kitload.in, foomatic-kitload, foomatic-ppdload.in, foomatic-ppdload, foomatic-preferred-driver.in, foomatic-preferred-driver, foomatic-printjob.in, foomatic-printjob, mfomatic.in, mfomatic, README, USAGE, src/cupsomatic.pl.in, src/cupsomatic.pl, src/directomatic.pl.in, src/directomatic.pl, src/lpdomatic.pl.in, src/lpdomatic.pl, src/ppromatic.pl.in, 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.

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.

In "testing_clean" target added "-f" to the "rm" command for the links to the cache so that make does not stop with an error when the links are not there. 2002-02-04 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * Makefile, src/*omatic, filter.conf: Modified Foomatic to only make the filter scripts out of the source files in src/. Fixed bugs on filter script source files: "enscript -b <title>", not "enscript -b=<title>"; empty title gave a line on the top of the page when using "mpage". Added "-J" (job title) option to directomatic. Added sample filter.conf. * cupsomatic, ppromatic, lpdomatic, directomatic: Removed obsolete filter scripts. * directomatic.1.in: Added "-J" (job title) option. 2002-02-03 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * USAGE: Corrected link for the "ptal" CUPS backend script. 2002-02-03 Manfred Wassmann <manolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de> * src/Makefile: Make generated scripts executable. 2002-02-03 Manfred Wassmann <manolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de> * debian/rules: Set LPRNG_CONF=/etc/lprng/lpd.conf. * src/lpdomatic.pl: Integrated changes from lpdomatic 1.10.

The one-liners are in the GhostScript command lines of the drivers entries for the PCL laser drivers ("lj5gray", "ljet4", ...). * db/source/printer/*: Updated text of the Epson EPL-5900/5900PS because of a bug in Epson's driver. 2002-01-17 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/printer/*: Added new Epson laser printer models: EPL-5900, EPL-N2120. * db/source/*/*: Added new driver entries "epl2120" and "epl5900" for Epson-Kowa laser driver 1.0.4. 2002-01-16 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * cupsomatic, lpdomatic, ppromatic, directomatic: Auto-detection of file converters a2ps, enscript, mpage, usage of the printer's paper size setting for conversion to PostScript, with a2ps the possibility to print also PDF, images, etc with LPD/LPRng and with directomatic (CUPS and PPR do this by themselves, they use the converter only for the docs pages). * foomatic-configure: Fixed bug of "-Q" with PPR not working for non-root users. CUPS queues are automatically set up with PPD-O-Matic PPD files now (use "--oldppd" to get CUPS-O-Matic PPD files), for PPD the PPD file is not stored twice any more, a symbolic link is set instead. * README, ChangeLog, foomatic-configure.1.in: Updated documentation to take into account the new "--oldppd" option. * db/source/*/*: HP removed the "HP only" clause from the license of HPIJS, so HPIJS is free now. 2002-01-15 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Fixed some incompatibilities in the PDQ file generator which prevented HPIJS 1.0 from working with PDQ. 2002-01-14 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * foomatic-configure: Fixed bug of foomatic-configure stopping on directomatic printer configuration when there is no directomatic config file. 2002-01-13 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * cupsomatic/ppromatic: The PPD default values of float options were not read correctly, fixed. 2002-01-12 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/*/*: Added HP e-printer e20 to HPIJS 1.0 datafiles. * db/source/printers/*: Removed "Unverified" flags and cleaned up text in many datafiles of HP inkjet printers. * foomatic-preferred-driver: Only set new default driver when the current one is not OK. * foomatic-configure: Insert ":ppdfile=<PPD file name>:\" lines into /etc/printcap (for LPD/GNUlpr/LPRng), so that the graphical printing frontend GPR finds the PPD-O-Matic PPD files automatically. 2002-01-11 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/*/*: Added "bjc250gs" driver and Canon BJC-250ex printer. 2002-01-10 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * foomatic-gswrapper: Replaced "-sOutputFile=|cat >&3" by "-sOutputFile=|cat>&3" because the second one also works when "gs" is a wrapper script around the real GhostScript binary. 2002-01-09 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * cupsomatic: Numerical options given on the command line were ignored when using a PPD-O-Matic PPD file for the CUPS queue. Fixed. 2002-01-08 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * Makefile, makeDefaults, lpdomatic.8.in: Moved lpdomatic back to /usr/sbin. 2002-01-06 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * foomatic-configure: Added support for direct, spooler-less printing with directomatic, added auto-detection of PPR. * directomatic: Added support for having a default printer. * foomatic-datafile: Added "lprng" as possible datafile type (gives the same result as "lpd"). * foomatic-configure.1.in: Completed the list of possible options, corrected "-D" options ("Default", not "Delete"). * foomatic-printjob.1.in: Corrected command line for printing. * README, USAGE: Updated to take into account all recent changes. 2002-01-06 Manfred Wassmann <manolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de> * foomatic-configure: Bails out if it encounters a lprng style printcap, like those created by lprngtool, as it would hose it otherwise. This needs a better solution. * foomatic-configure.1.in: Added description of the above problem. * debian/control: The conflict with the cupsomatic-ppd package is indicated. 2002-01-05 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * Makefile, makeDefaults: Added definitions for PPR and for spooler-less printing. * db/source/driver/Postscript.xml: Updated the text to also mention that PPD files can be used also with the PPR spooler or the GPR printing frontend. 2002-01-04 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * ppromatic: Made ppromatic stuffing the PostScript code of all PostScript options into the job, in contrary to CUPS PPR only stuffs in the code of options explicitly given on the command line or in the "Switchset". * foomatic-configure: Added PPR support. 2002-01-03 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * ppromatic: Made it possible to have PPD files in other directories than /usr/share/ppr/PPDFiles, let ppromatic eat up data on STDIN to make documentation printing ("-i docs") working correctly. When original job is not completely read, PPR does not dequeue the print job and stops the printer because it assumes that the job was not correctly printed. 2002-01-02 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/*/*: Added Compaq IJ1200 (Z42 clone), assigned Lexmark 5700 drivers to Compaq IJ900 (5700 clone). Fixed text of Lexmark 5700. * db/source/opt/hpijs-Quality.xml: Fixed typo in human-readable text for 600-dpi-CMYK-normal quality. 2002-01-01 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/opt/hpijs-PageSize.xml: Worked around a bug in HPIJS 1.0 which breaks the paper size setting via PostScript commands. * lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Added photo paper sizes for the HPIJS 1.0 driver to the "getpapersize()" function. 2002-01-01 Manfred Wassmann <manolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de> * debian/rules: see debian/changelog for details. 2001-12-31 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/driver/*.xml: Updated URLs of the home pages for the "cZ11" and "c2070" drivers. 2001-12-30 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/printer/Epson-EPL-5800L.xml: Added the Epson EPL-5800L laser winprinter. 2001-12-23 Manfred Wassmann <manolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de> * debian/foomatic-bin.manpages: Corrected section for lpdomatic manpage. * lpdomatic.1.in: Made this manpage useful. * foomatic-gswrapper.1.in: Minor editing. 2001-12-20 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/*/hpijs*: Updated the entries for the "hpijs" driver to the new 1,0 release. * db/source/printer/*: More updates on the comments of the HP inkjet printers. 2001-12-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/printer/*: Updated comments and "Recommended driver" settings of the HP/Apollo printers for the new "hpijs" 1.0 version. 2001-12-18 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/printer/*: Added/modified HP inkjets for the "hpijs" 1.0 driver. 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 PagePro 1100L". 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 the cache before and use it, if appropriate files available. Printer ID set into single quotes in the "foomatic-combo-xml" command line, to not break with the new clear text printer IDs (Thanks to Crutcher Dunnavant, crutcher@redhat.com for his suggestions). * Makefile: Let "make install" also install the man pages. 2001-12-13 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * directomatic: Possibility to use a printer definition file in ~/.foomatic/direct/ or in the current directory. * Makefile, makeDefaults: Added /etc/ppr directory, fixed typo. 2001-12-12 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/printer/*: Set links for the new location of the "Lexmark Foomatic Kit" in the comments of the database entries for the Lexmark Z22, Z23, Z32, Z33, Z52, Z53. 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> * directomatic.1.in manpage added. * debian/: Bugfixes in the Debian specific files. 2001-12-10 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/*/*: Updated home page address and comment of the "lm1100" driver and added a "Brightness" option to that driver and replaced the "Monochrome" option by "Ink Type". * db/source/drivers/lpstyl.xml: Re-hosted "lpstyl" driver on linuxprinting,org, original home page is dead. Modified the comments in the database entry file appropriately. * db/source/drivers/gdi.xml: Added filter for MagicFilter users to easily integrate this driver. Modified the comments in the database entry file appropriately. * db/source/*/*: Okipage 6w only works with "oki4w" 2.0, not with 2.1.

Modified the comments in the database entry files appropriately. * db/source/opt/cZ11somsom-*: Set default values of the ink densities to 50 instead of 100. * db/source/driver/cZ11somsom.xml: Corrected command line to make printing with the black cartridge working. * db/source/printer/89152.xml: Comments cleaned up for Canon BJC-2000. * db/source/printer/Canon-BJC-2010.xml: New printer entry: Canon BJC-2010. * 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 BJ-100. * db/source/driver/bj200.xml: Added Canon BJ-100 to the "bj200" driver. * db/source/printer/123584.xml: Added comments about the problems with the Xerox DocuPrint XJ8C. * db/source/printer/Pentax-PocketJet*: Added the ultra-portable printers from Pentax. * db/source/*/pentaxpj*: Added "pentaxpj" driver for the ultra-portable Pentax PocketJet printers. 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. * Manpages: Added a script to generate manpages with correct pathnames from files named <manpage>.<section>.in. Created more or less useable manpages for all binaries. * debian: Bootstrapped a debian directory for building Debian packages. 2001-12-06 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * cupsomatic: Corrected link to documentation web page in the comments in the beginning of the script. 2001-12-04 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * cupsomatic, lpdomatic, ppromatic: Cleaned up multi-processing, now the parent processes wait for their children to finish and the interprocess communication pipes are closed after use. The main process waiting for their children to exit fixes especially a problem of lpdomatic: LPRng resetted the printer port when the lpdomatic was ready, but in reality lpdomatic sub-processes were still working on the job, which lead to incomplete pages being printed (Bug #486096 on SourceForge). Also updated the comments in the beginning of the files * foomatic-datafile: Added PPR support. * foomatic-configure: Added the "-w 1" option to "nc" used in the $postpipe for LPD, otherwise "nc" only exits a rather long time after all data has be transmitted to the printer. This prevents the new lpdomatic from exiting immediately after the job has finished and so it takes a longer time until the next job starts. * lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Used "/PageSize[...]" instead of "/PageRegion[...]" in the "*PageRegion" option of the PPD-O-Matic PPD files becasue GhostScript does not understand "/PageRegion[...]" (found this out during tests of PPR, which uses the "*PageRegion" option and not the "*PageSize" option to set the paper size. 2001-12-02 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * ppromatic: Completed first version of ppromatic: Added error and signal handling. Introduced back channel from child processes to main process and let main process wait until all children finish, to not loose any error message or exit status to report to PPR. 2001-11-30 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/*/*: Added some comments about the similarity of the Sharp and Xerox inkjets. * db/source/opt/207.xml: Made "Model" option of "pcl3" having only the correct model entry as possible choice (as "Model" option of "gimp-print"/"stp". 2001-11-29 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * foomatic-preferred-driver: Higher priority for "pcl3" against "sharp.upp", the support of the "pcl3" driver for the Sharp and Xerox inkjets is much better since version 3.3 of "pcl3". * db/source/*/*: Added Sharp/Xerox printers to list of printers supported by "pcl3" because of better Sharp/Xerox support by "pcl3" version 3.3, also changed the recommended driver of the Sharp and Xerox inkjets to "pcl3" and the functionality to "Mostly". 2001-11-24 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * ppromatic: Interface for the spooler PPR (ppr.sourceforge.net) introduced. To set up printer download PPD-O-Matic PPD file from your driver's page of the linuxprinting.org database (or use "foomatic-datafile -t ppd ...") and do cp ppromatic /usr/lib/ppr/interfaces/ cp <downloaded ppd file> /usr/share/ppr/PPDFiles/ ppad interface <queue> ppromatic <address> ppad options <queue> backend=<interface> ppad ppd <queue> <ppd file without path> (Addiyional command to set up paper trays) <interface> means the PPR interface name for the desired printer connection type (all in /usr/lib/ppr/interfaces/: parallel, serial, tcpip, lpr, smb, atalk, ...). <address> means the printer address as needed by the interface (/dev/lp0 for parallel, printer.domain.com:9100 for tcpip, ...) <ppd file without path> is the name under which you have saved your downloaded PPD file. Do not specify the path /usr/share/ppr/PPDFiles/ 2001-11-23 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * cupsomatic: Let numerical option default settings in be used when a printer is used with a PPD-O-Matic PPD file. 2001-11-22 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Made HTML display of how to invoke a driver working correctly with the new XML Foomatic and enhanced it, especially for tricky command lines ("Execution Details" pages). * db/source/opt/*: Corrected the "Required" state for many options, to get the "Execution Details" pages correct. 2001-11-21 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/printer/drv_z42: New web site for "drv_z42". 2001-11-20 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/printer/*: Set "Recommended driver" field (<driver>..</driver>) in all non-Paperweight printer entries. 2001-11-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net> * db/source/printer/*: The Epson Stylus C70/C80 do 2880x1440 dpi under free OS.

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