NEWS - OpenPrinting CUPS Filters v1.0.71 - 2015-07-02
-----------------------------------------------------
CHANGES IN V1.0.71
- texttopdf: The Page allocation is moved into textcommon.c, where it
does all the necessary checking: lower-bounds for CVE-2015-3258 and
upper-bounds for CVE-2015-3259 due to integer overflows for the
calloc() call initialising Page[0] and the memset() call in
texttopdf.c's WritePage() function zeroing the entire array. Thanks
to Tim Waugh from Red Hat for the patch.
- texttopdf: Upper-bounds checking (CVE-2015-3259).
CHANGES IN V1.0.70
- texttopdf: Fixed buffer overflow on size allocation of texttopdf
when working with extremely small line sizes, which causes the size
calculation to result in 0 (CVE-2015-3258, thanks to Stefan
Cornelius fro Red Hat for the patch).
- cups-browsed: leak fixes
- cups-browsed: Further BrowseAllow fixing
- cups-browsed: BrowsePoll is an array of pointers, not structures,
so allocate room for the pointers
- cups-browsed: Prevent NULL dereference when handling BrowseAllow
without value
- cups-browsed: Use memory deallocation function corresponding to
allocation function used
- cups-browsed: Fixes for glib source handling (Red Hat bug #1228555)
- foomatic-rip: Allow using another shell than /bin/bash using the
"--with-shell=..." option for "./configure". Thanks to Leonardo
Taccari for the patch (Bug #1288).
CHANGES IN V1.0.69
- cups-browsed: When generating a PPD for an auto-discovered IPP
network printer, create a "ColorModel" option only if valid
choices are reported for it by the IPP printer.
- cups-browsed: Updated PPD file generator for auto-generated queues
for IPP network printers from the CUPS 2.1.x upstream code, so that
floating-point numbers are written in a locale-neutral way
(CUPS STR #4579).
- cups-browsed: When checking whether a queue name already exists
as a locally defined queue, do case-insensitive comparing as for
CUPS printer names are case-insensitive. This assures that
already existing queues do never get overwritten.
- cups-browsed: Added "IPPPrinterQueueType Auto/PPD/NoPPD" directive
to cups-browsed.conf to allow controlling how cups-browsed
creates queues fr native IPP network printers: with PPD, with
System V interface script, or selecting automatically.
- pdftopdf: Center Landscape-oriented jobs correctly on the page
if the "fitplot" or "number-up" options are used (Bug #1284).
- pstopdf: Removed "-dUseCIEColor" from the Ghostscript command line.
In modern Ghostscript versions (9.11 and newer) it is recommended to
not use it with the pdfwrite and ps2write output devices any more.
- imagetopdf: Corrections in PDF output: Let evince display the PDF
with the correct size including margins and let ghostscript not
complain about an invalid xref entry.
- cups-browsed: Do not add options to the System V interface script
which calls sys5ippprinter but set the options as defaults for the
CUPS queue in printers.conf.
- cups-browsed: When auto-generating a PPD-less print queue for an
IPP network printer, determine default page size, unprintable margins,
and color space from the printer via an IPP request.
- imagetopdf: Debug logging should be only controlled by the LogLevel
of CUPS, not by an awkward build time switch.
- cups-browsed: Determine from the TXT records of the Bonjour broadcast
of an IPP network printer whether it has color and duplex
capabilities and if yes, let auto-generated PPD-less print queues
use appropriate command line options to make use of these
capabilities.
- imagetopdf: Make this filter also work with auto-generated PPD-less
print queues for IPP network printers.
- sys5ippprinter: Renamed pdftoippprinter to reflect that it is
once a System 5 interface script and second does not accept only
PDF as input.
- pdftoippprinter: Support also PWG Raster and JPEG as input formats
so that an auto-generated, PPD-less queue for an IPP printer emulates
an IPP Everywhere printer.
CHANGES IN V1.0.68
- cups-browsed: Numeric IDs for GSources of the glib event
loop must be positive integers greater than zero according
to the documentation of the g_source_get_id() function.
Taken care of this at all places.
- cups-browsed: Added conditionals so that it also builds with
CUPS 1.5.x (but then withou support for automatically creating
queues for IPP network printers). Thanks to Johannes Meixner from
SUSE for the patch (Bug #1268).
- Ricoh-PDF_Printer-PDF.ppd: Added PPD file for Ricoh's PDF printers
(experimental). Thanks to Ulrich Wehner from Ricoh for the file.
CHANGES IN V1.0.67
- cups-browsed: Use g_source_remove() instead of g_source_destroy()
for killing auto shutdown timers (Ubuntu bug #1427344).
CHANGES IN V1.0.66
- cups-browsed: SECURITY FIX: Fixed a bug in the remove_bad_chars()
failing to reliably filter out illegal characters if there are two
or more subsequent illegal characters, allowing execution of
arbitrary commands with the rights of the "lp" user, using forged
print service announcements on DNS-SD servers (Bug #1265).
- pdftoopvp: Added conditionals to also build with Poppler 0.31.0
and newer. Thanks to Armin K. (krejzi at email dot com) for the
patch (Bug #1254).
CHANGES IN V1.0.65
- cups-browsed: Listen for NetworkManager changes (Red Hat bug #975933).
- cups-browsed: Fix for memory leak introduced in BZR rev 7059.
- cups-browsed: Memory leak/uninit fixes.
- cups-browsed: Cache prepared browse data to send.
- cups-browsed: Only get local notifications once per BrowsePoll run.
- cups-browsed: Fix BrowsePoll now notifications work properly. Need
to maintain a list of printers to keep alive for the case of there
being no notifications of changes.
- cups-browsed: Use local browsepolling for getting initial printer
list.
- cups-browsed: Ignore browse packets for deleted printers.
- cups-browsed: Cache connection to local cupsd.
- cups-browsed: Use notifications to track local printers.
This avoids expensive calls to cupsGetDests().
- cups-browsed: Manage subscriptions for local browsepolling.
- cups-browsed: Track notify-sequence-number for notifications.
CHANGES IN V1.0.64
- cups-browsed: Added PPD file generator for IPP Everywhere
printers. If auto-setup of discovered IPP printers is
activated ("CreateIPPPrinterQueues Yes" in
cups-browsed.conf), the printer provides suitable capability
information via a Get-Printer-Attributes IPP call, and
prints PWG or PostScript input, a PPD is auto-generated
based on the Get-Printer-Attributes IPP response. Otherwise
a System-V interface script is used as befreo. Advantage of
the PPD file is that current print dialogs aloow access to
the options, no IPP request done by the dialog is
required. The PPD generator code is borrowed from the CUPS
2.1.x development code repository. It will perhaps be
removed in the future when CUPS provides proper API function
for its PPD generator.
CHANGES IN V1.0.63
- foomatic-rip: Added hint to man page that direct, spooler-less mode
is mainly for testing and debugging (Bug #1253).
- foomatic-rip: Added a symlink of the filter to the binary executable
directory (usually /usr/bin), so that LSB compliance test scripts
work (Bug #1255).
- cups-browsed: Fixed CUPS Browsing timeouts. Thanks to Tim
Waugh from Red Hat for the patch (Bug #1252, Red Hat bug
#1189254).
CHANGES IN V1.0.62
- cups-browsed: Allow underscore characters in print queue names.
Thanks to Tim Waugh from Red Hat for the bug report (Bug
#1241).
- pdftops: Apply workarounds for Kyocera also to Utax printers
as Utax uses hard- and software from Kyocera. Thanks to Edward
Huang from Kyocera.
- cups-browsed: Added support for "BrowseAllow All" in the
cups-browsed.conf file.
- cups-browsed: Reorder inclusion of headers for compatibility
with NetBSD (Bug #1235).
- imagetopdf, pdftopdf: Correct handling of hardware copies in
PJL/JCL and/or when the PPD file has a "Copies" option.
CHANGES IN V1.0.61
- cups-browsed: Fixed memory leak when a
cups-browsed-generated print queue is the default
printer. Thanks to Tim Waugh from Red Hat for the patch (Red
Hat bug: #1119290).
- cupsfilters.drv, *-PDF.ppd, textonly.ppd: Added
"*cupsFilter2: ..." lines to the PPD files to support
data-format-specific behavior of backends, especially of the
IPP backend.
CHANGES IN V1.0.60
- cups-browsed, pdftoippprinter: Do not confuse the PDL "PCLm"
with "PCL". The former is a proprietary, PDF-based raster
format and has nothing to do with PCL.
- cupsfilters.drv: Corrected the CMD: field of the device ID,
it must read "PWGRaster" there to conform to the PWG standard.
CHANGES IN V1.0.59
- cupsfilters.drv: Added PPD file for a Generic IPP Everywhere
Printer, generating PWG Raster output.
- gstoraster, pdftoraster, imagetoraster: Allow PWG Raster
output with print queues using a PPD file, using the new
"PWGRaster" PPD attribute.
- pdftoraster: Removed "cm_disabled" flag in selectConvFunc()
- libcupsfilters: Allowed color management to continue while
invalid input
- rastertopdf: Streamlined PDF conversion code
- rastertopdf: Invert all CUPS_CSPACE_K documents by default
- foomatic-rip: Clean trailing white space from PPD file lines to
avoid a segfault caused by it (Bug #1227).
CHANGES IN V1.0.58
- pdftoraster: Changed ICC profile get function to accept a
PPD fallback profile.
- pdftoraster: Fixed handling of cupsColorSpaces 18,19,20.
- rastertopdf: Added test feature to force color management if
"profile=" option is specified.
- rastertopdf: Grayscale color conversion now properly inverts
bits.
- rastertopdf: Code cleanup for prepare_pdf_page().
- rastertopdf: Implemented basic 8bit->8bit color space
conversions.
- rastertopdf: Added black point compensation.
- rastertopdf: Added handling of color rendering intent.
- gstoraster, imagetoraster, pdftoraster, rastertopclx,
rastertopdf, foomatic-rip: Use color management functions in
libcupsfilters.
- libcupsfilters: Modified code formatting and documentation in
the color management functions.
- libcupsfilters: Fixed string handling and added debug log
messages in the color management functions.
- libcupsfilters: Fixed Adobe RGB matrix for proper rendering
(transpose)
- libcupsfilters: Moved color management functions from the
individual filters to the libcupsfilters library.
CHANGES IN V1.0.57
- rastertopclx: Fixed implicit declaration of
colord_get_inhibit_for_device_id.
- Build system: Explicitly link to libm as -lm was dropped
from cups-config --libs.
- libcupsfilters, foomaticrip, gstoraster, imagetoraster,
pdftoraster, rastertopclx, rastertopdf: Handle absence of
colord or D-Bus gracefully (Ubuntu bug #1356405).
CHANGES IN V1.0.56
- rastertopdf: Some code polishing and removal of now unneeded
functions
- rastertopdf: Reduced color space handling to only
PWG-supported color spaces
- rastertopdf: Added colorspace calibration function; included
optional "/Alternate" PDF key for ICC profile embedding
- rastertopdf: Colorspace sRGB now embeds srgb icc profile;
implemented ICC Profile embedding (PDF 1.3 spec)
- rastertopdf: Added basic color calibration
- rastertopdf: Implemented ICC Profile creation code for IPP
Everywhere (from PWG raster)
- pdftoraster: Added colord handling of ICC profiles
- kmdevices.cpp/.h: Added interface for Kolor Manager
- cups-browsed: Do not consider a remote CUPS queue as raw if
the TXT record is NULL as for queues broadcasted by the
legacy CUPS method the TXT record does not exist. Now
consider a queue with NULL TXT record only as raw if the
domain entry is not empty (which tells that the queue is
Bonjour-broadcasted (Bug #1223).
- cups-browsed: Do also not mark a discovered printer as
already provided by another server when the other server's
queue has "unconfirmed" status. Mark the other queue with
"disappeared" or "unconfirmed" status as duplicate of the
discovered printer so that the new queue for the discovered
printer does not get removed when the entry for the other
queue times out.
CHANGES IN V1.0.55
- pdftopdf: Fixed manual duplex by adding a blank page to evn
pages if the total number of pages of the document is
odd. Otherwise the last page of the document would stay in
the input tray. This fixes also a side effect as the set of
even pages reducing to a zero page job if the job consists
of only one page, making Poppler's pdftops error out (Ubuntu
bug #1340435).
- cups-browsed: Do not mark a discovered printer as already
provided by another server when the other server's queue has
"disappeared" status. This queue can be from the same server
before it changed its name.
- cups-browsed: Do not create a local queue pointing to a
remote raw queue (Ubuntu bug #1335211).
- foomatic-rip, imagetoraster, pdftoraster, rastertopclx,
rastertopdf: Added colord "device_inhibit" support for
color-managed filters.
- foomatic-rip: Let it also build correctly on systems which
already provide the strlcat() and strlcpy() functions, like
Mac OS X. Thanks to Matt Broughton for reporting this
(bug #1215).
- bannertopdf: Added support for PPD-less printing, especially
one gets a useful test page with PPD-less queues now.
- bannertopdf: Fixed "Printer Location" and "Driver Version"
entries on the test page/the banners.
- bannertopdf: Added new PDF template files which contain the
text strings appropriate to the banners, before the banners
were all equal, without text. Thanks to Johannes Meixner
from SUSE/Novell for this fix (Bug #1209).
- bannertopdf: Fixed Makefile to mark it dependent on
libfontembed.la. Thanks to Tim Waugh from Red Hat for the
patch (Red Hat bug #1106101).
- pstopdf: Use "grep -E" instead of "grep -P" as the latter
generates executable code and executes it, requiring
"execmem" privileges which could be not available in some
security policies. Thanks to Tim Waugh from Red Hat for the
patch (Red Hat bug #1079534).
- foomatic-rip: NetBSD does not provide a mkstemps() function,
use appropriate workaround then (Bug #1211).
- cups-browsed: Reorder inclusion of headers for compatibility
with NetBSD (Bug #1212).
- pdftoraster: Fixed segfault caused by introduction of
"no-color-management" option (Bug #1214).
- libcupsfilters: Let cupsRasterParseIPPOptions() also accept
"pwg-raster-document-type" settings with hyphen between
color space name and color depth.
CHANGES IN V1.0.54
- pdftoraster: Support for output in the color spaces 18
(CUPS_CSPACE_SW, sGray), 19 (CUPS_CSPACE_SRGB, sRGB), and 20
(CUPS_CSPACE_ADOBERGB, Adobe RGB). No color management
appropriate to these color spaces is added yet.
- foomatic-rip, gstoraster, imagetoraster, pdftoraster,
rastertopclx: added boolean option "no-color-management" to
suppress all forms of color correction when
color-calibrating the printer.
- pdftops: Default to "hybrid" setting for the PDF->PostScript
renderer.
- pdftoraster: Produce correct (compressed) PWG Raster output
when requested by using the correct mode in
cupsRasterOpen().
- rastertopdf: Added new filter to convert PWG Raster input
into a PDF file (using QPDF). This filter makes CUPS
supporting the PWG Raster input format which is required to
be supported by IPP Everywhere printers, making a shared
CUPS queue emulating an IPP Everywhere printer. This is a
first implementation which supports the black, RGB, CMYK,
sGray, sRGB, and Adobe RGB color spaces (all mapped to
DeviceGray, DeviceRGB, and DeviceCMYK resp. in the PDF
output) with 1, 8, and 16 bits per component color
depth. sGray, sRGB, and Adobe RGB are currently also mapped
to DeviceGray and DeviceRGB and do not have the correct
color management yet, so color output is not absolutely
correct. Note that mime.types of CUPS up to 1.7.2 has a bug
which prevents PWG Raster to be recognized, the
"priority(100)" of the rule needs to be changed to
"priority(150)".
- foomatic-rip: Corrected declaration of print_pdf() function in
pdf.h file (Debian bug #748028).
- foomatic-rip: Let it also build with uclibc which does not
provide the mkstemps() function. Thanks to Andreas K.
Huettel for the patch (Gentoo bug #509884).
- cups-browsed: Create local queues also to access classes on
remote CUPS servers (Ubuntu bug #1313741).
- cups-browsed: Let a newly discovered printer not only
overtaking an existing printer entry if it is from the same
host (usually IPP -> IPPS) or without host entry
(unconfirmed local queue from previous cups-browsed session)
but also if it is marked disappeared. So printer entries get
correctly migrated when things like a host name change of
the remote server happen.
- cups-browsed: Always do case-insensitive comparing of
strings, as CUPS queue names and URIs are case-insensitive
(CUPS STR #4411).
CHANGES IN V1.0.53
- foomatic-rip: Fixed segfault when creating log file (Bug
#1206).
- cups-browsed: SECURITY FIX: Fix on usage of the
"BrowseAllow" directive in cups-browsed.conf. Before, if the
argument of a "BrowseAllow" directive is not understood it
is treated as the directive not having been there, allowing
any host if this was the only "BrowseAllow" directive. Now
we treat this as a directive which no host can fulfill, not
allowing any host if it was the only one. No "BrowseAllow"
directive means access for all, as before (Bug #1204).
- cups-browsed: SECURITY FIX: Further improvement on the fix
in 1.0.51 as it was insufficient. In addition, some fixes
against OOB access are done. Thanks to Sebastian Krahmer for
the patch (SUSE/Novell bug #871327).
CHANGES IN V1.0.52
- texttopdf: Make sure that margin changes for prettyprint
get applied.
- texttopdf, imagetopdf, imagetoraster: Range-check paper
dimensions and margins taken from the PPD file and correct
them if needed (Bug #1195).
CHANGES IN V1.0.51
- cups-browsed: SECURITY FIX to prevent arbitrary code
injection into the System V interface scripts generated for
queues for discovered native IPP printers by a malicious IPP
print service with forged make/model and/or PDL string.
CHANGES IN V1.0.50
- pdftops: Let old HP LaserJet printers (model number without
letter, like "LaserJet 3" or "LaserJet 4000") use Poppler
instead of Ghostscript (Debian bug #742765).
- pdftops: Improved workaround for Toshiba printers. Instead
of using Poppler do not emit TrueType fonts with Ghostscript
(Ubuntu bug #998087).
- cups-browsed: Build the device URIs for all local queues we create
with the CUPS library function httpAssembleURIf() for proper
percent escaping of characters which are not allowed in URIs
(Bug #1187).
CHANGES IN V1.0.49
- pdftops: Use Poppler also for Toshiba printers (Ubuntu bug
#998087).
- pdftops: Fixed typo which always made PostScript level 2 being
generated when using Poppler's pdftops (Ubuntu bug #1294370).
CHANGES IN V1.0.48
- cups-browsed: Fix for a crash which happens on Bonjour reports of
printers without "product", "usb_MDL", and "ty" fields in the
text record (Ubuntu bug #1284834).
- cups-browsed: In README and in the sample startup scripts/configs
for System V Init and Upstart taken into account the fact that it
is not required any more to start avahi-daemon before starting
cups-browsed.
CHANGES IN V1.0.47
- pdftoopvp: SECURITY FIX for CVE-2013-6474, CVE-2013-6475,
and CVE-2013-6476: Introductionof gmallocn and gmallocn3
to protect against arbitrary code execution with the
privileges of the "lp" user via malicious PDF files. Also
restrict the directory from where OPVP drivers can get
loaded.
- urftopdf: SECURITY FIX for CVE-2013-6473: Two heap-based
buffer overflow flaws in urftopdf. If a malicious URF file
were processed it could lead to arbitrary code execution
with the privileges of the "lp" user.
- pdftopdf: Fixed typo in initialization which sets the default
value page border to an undefined value. Thanks to Helge
Blischke for the patch.
- cups-browsed: Check for changes of the URI of a queue which
we have created and correct the URI if needed, especially if
a queue was not removed on shutdown of cups-browsed (default
printer or still having jobs) and before restart of
cups-browsed the server's DNS-SD-provided has changed.
- bannertopdf: Support PDF forms as banner template. This allows
especially internationalized banner pages. Forms can contain
fields for any CUPS/IPP value and get automatically filled
Thanks to Andrew V. Stepanov from ALT Linux (Bug #1170,
also first step to fix Ubuntu bug #1196986).
CHANGES IN V1.0.46
- gstoraster: Ignore SIGCHLD, rely on waitpid instead. Thanks
to Lauri Tirkkonen (Bug #1184).
- gstoraster: Fix two instances of insufficient EINTR handling.
Thanks to Lauri Tirkkonen (Bug #1184).
CHANGES IN V1.0.45
- cups-browsed: Under Upstart load the AppArmor profile
(Ubuntu bug #1276630).
- cups-browsed: Added auto-shutdown feature for on-demand use
of cups-browsed (for example on mobile devices). With auto
shutdown active, cups-browsed terminates after a certain
time interval (30 sec by default) without having any remote
printer to make available locally. The mode can be turned
on, turned off (default) or set to automatically be off
while avahi-daemon is running an on otherwise (controlled by
avahi-daemon running on-demand). The mode and the timeout
interval can be selected by command line options, the
configuration file, and sending signals to cups-browsed
(on/off only).
- cups-browsed: To make Bonjour-discovered printers locally
available avahi-daemon does not need to be started before
cups-browsed and does not need to stay continuously running
while cups-browsed is running. Bonjour-discovered printers
are now added whenever avahi-daemon starts and removed
whenever avahi-daemon stops and cups-browsed keeps
running. This makes it easier to use cups-browsed in
different system-configurations and also on systems with
daemons running on-demand (like mobile systems).
- foomatic-rip: Fixed pid_t/int function prototype mismatch
(Bug #1182).
- Fixed --with-pdftops-path and --with-pdftocairo-path options
in ./configure (Bug #1181).
- foomatic-rip: Do not use PATH_MAX for the length of static
strings which are supposed to hold a command line. Use our
own CMDLINE_MAX constant to set them to a length of 65535
bytes (Ubuntu bug #1019662, Debian bug #738440).
- pdftops: Log command lines of renderer (Ghostscript, pdftops,
pdftocairo, acroread) and of pstops in CUPS' error_log (in
debug mode).
CHANGES IN V1.0.44
- README: Documented the "hybrid" choice for the PDF renderer
in the pdftops filter.
- pdftoippprinter: Handle missing Ghostscript/Poppler for all
output formats.
- cups-browsed: Minor corrections in the error messages.
- gstopxl: Support for PPD-less printing. Resolution,
InputSlot, Duplex, and ColorModel are set also without PPD
file now.
- Added another sample PPD file for a native PDF printer,
Fuji_Xerox-DocuPrint_CM305_df-PDF.ppd. Thanks to Adrian
Johnson for contributing this PPD file.
CHANGES IN V1.0.43
- cups-browsed: When automatically setting up a PPD-less print
queue for an IPP network printer add make/model info as an
additional "make-and-model" command line option to the call
of the pdftoippprinter filter, this way filters can do
make/model-specific exceptions (quirk rules).
- pdftopdf: Take page size from the command line if not
already given by the PPD file, this way
"fitplot"/"fit-to-page" also works with PPD-less printing.
- libcupsfilters: cupsRasterParseIPPOptions() did not set
sRGB color space.
- libcupsfilters: cupsRasterParseIPPOptions() did not set
Tumble with "Duplex=DuplexTumble".
- pdftopdf: Fixed software copy generation logic for printers
with hardware copy generation, but without collate support
(Ubuntu bug #1259240).
- pdftops: Let Ghostscript output PostScript level 3 also for
PPD-less printing, but not for HP lasers or when make/model
info is not supplied.
- cups-browsed: removed duplicate definition of ippSetVersion.
- foomatic-rip: Take PATH_MAX constant from limits.h if
available instead defining it's own version conflicting with
kfreebsd. Thanks to Peter Green for the patch (Debian bug
#731658).
- pdftops: Ignore "landscape", "orientation-requested",
"fit-to-page", and any page geometry options. The first two
do not make sense on PDF input and therefore should only be
used in ...topdf filters used before pdftopdf, the others
are already taken care of by pdftopdf so that pdftops gets
pages with print-ready page geometry.
- pdftops: Added "-nocenter" to the call of "pdftops
-origpagesizes" (Poppler/freedesktop.org bug #72312,
comments #6 and #7).
- pdftopdf: If there is no PPD file or no
"*LandscapeOrientation:" keyword in the PPD file, rotate
counterclockwise, not clockwise to fit a landscape-oriented
page on a portrait-oriented sheet (See
Poppler/freedesktop.org bug #72312, comment #6).
- pstopdf: Support for the "landscape" and
"orientation-requested" options (Ubuntu bug #1243484).
- pdftops: Support for PPD-less printing on PostScript
printers: duplex, resolution, input tray, color mode, and
make/model (for quirk rules) can now be supplied by the
command line, pdftopdf takes care of the page geometry.
- libcupsfilters: cupsRasterParseIPPOptions() allows
specifying resolutions without unit now, assuming dpi then
(example: "600x600").
- Fixed "--with-cups-rundir" and "--with-cups-domainsocket"
options in configure (Bug #1174).
- pdftops: After fixing the output of rotated PDF pages
(usually landscape-oriented pages rotated by pdftopdf) in
Poppler (Poppler/freedesktop.org bug #72312) corrected the
use of "pdftops -origpagesizes" in pdftops appropriately
(Red Hat bug #768811).
CHANGES IN V1.0.42
- pdftoippprinter: Check also the presence of Ghostscript and
use pdftoraster if Ghostscript is missing.
- gstoraster: At build time use the path for Ghostscript which
our build system already finds for pdftops.
- pdftoraster: Take into account rotate field in PDF header,
when pdftopdf rotates a page to fit the paper it sets the
rotate field and does not swap the width and height entries.
- pdftoippprinter: Made PCL 5c/e printing working correctly,
by first adding support for unprintable margins and
defaulting to 12pt margins if no margin info is supplied,
and second, by doing color printing always in RGB color
space.
- rastertopclx: Improved support for PPD-less printing,
allowing color printing with (s)RGB color space. Output is
in sRGB then.
- rastertopclx: Determine page size and select correct PCL
command for the page size more reliably, especially for
landscape-oriented pages.
- gstoraster, pdftoraster: Do correct PWG Raster output, allow
switching to PWG Raster via "media-class=PwgRaster" option
and CUPS Raster via "media-class=". Default for PPD-less
printing is PWG Raster.
- gstoraster, pdftoraster: Support applying unprintable
margins for PPD-less mode with CUPS Raster output.
- libcupsfilters: Added support for "media-left-margin",
"media-right-margin", "media-bottom-margin", and
"media-top-margin" IPP options to specify unprintable
margins in 1/100th of a mm, to allow PPD-less printing with
unprintable margins (esp. PCL 5c/e with rastertopclx).
- libcupsfilters: Do not set "MediaClass" to "PwgRaster" when
we request a CUPS Raster header and not a PWG Raster header.
- libcupsfilters: Fixed typo in a debug message in the colord
support part.
- cupsfilters.convs: Corrected cost factor of
vnd.cups-postscript -> vnd.cups-raster conversion with
gstoraster, so that input data of the type
application/vnd.adobe-reader-postscript is converted
correctly (not via pstotiff). Thanks to Tim Waugh from Red
Hat for this patch
- cups-browsed: Fixed several memory leaks by adding missing
free() calls and removing an unneeded strdup(). Thanks to
Jaromir Koncicky from Red Hat for the patch (Red Hat bug
#1027317).
- Backends parallel and serial: Fixed logical expressions for
error handling (Bug #1172).
- libcupsfilters: Moved filter/colord.[ch] into the library as
this code is now used by both gstoraster and foomatic-rip.
- libcupsfilters: Made the names of the flags to tell that the
header is already included unique in all API header files.
- foomatic-rip: Moved foomatic-rip's upstream home from the
foomatic-filters package to cups-filters, to make it easier
for distributions to ship and maintain a complete printing
stack and also to make upstream maintenance and development
easier.
- foomatic-rip: Removed support for all the non-CUPS printing
environments as they are discontinued upstream. Now
foomatic-rip only works as a CUPS filter and in a spooler-less
direct mode, where the latter is mainly for testing and
debugging. Thanks to Anshul Kushwaha (anshulkushwaha1 at gmail
dot com) for doing this as a Google Summer of Code 2013 project.
- foomatic-rip: Eliminated compiler warnings.
- foomatic-rip: fixed "endswith()" string utility function.
- foomatic-rip: Removed unneeded HAVE_DBUS conditionals.
- gstoraster: Fixed build system for gstoraster use D-Bus for
colord support.
- libcupsfilters: Recognize more Adobe-generated CMYK JPEGs to
take into account their inverted colors (Bug #1169).
- pdftopdf: When checking whether double-sided printing is
chosen, do not only check for the choice names "DuplexNoTumble"
and "DuplexTumble" but also for "LongEdge", "ShortEdge",
"Top", and "Bottom", as CUPS does (Bug #1167).
CHANGES IN V1.0.41
- cups-browsed: Added support for automatic PPD-less setup of
print queues for IPP printers discovered on the network via
Bonjour. Supported are printers with known languages (PWG
Raster, PDF, PostScript, PCL XL, PCL 5c/e), especially also
IPP Everywhere printers. This functionality is especially
ment for mobile devices to be able to print without printer
setup tool and without printer driver/PPD collection.
- cups-browsed: Fixed a Valgrind-reported issue.
- pdftoippprinter: New filter for PPD-less printing. The filter
will be configured as System-V interface script for a print
queue for a discovered IPP network printer generated by
cups-browsed.
- rastertopclx: Added support for PPD-less printing. Without
PPD the filter generates PCL 5e.
- cups-browsed: Fixed socket leaks in recent IPP subscriptions
changes. Thanks to Tim Waugh from Red Hat for the patch (Red
Hat bug #1021512).
CHANGES IN V1.0.40
- pdftops: Introduced new "hybrid" renderer: Here usually
Ghostscript is used, but if the printer is a Brother,
Minolta, or Konica Minolta Poppler's pdftops gets used. This
is a quirk rule to work around bugs in the PS interpreters
of the printers.
- Fixed format string issues and added __attribute__ wording
to printf-like functions to catch any regressions. Thanks to
Tim Waugh from Red Hat for the patch.
CHANGES IN V1.0.39
- pdftops: Fix for landscape PDF handling. Do not use the
command line options "-origpagesizes" and
"-choosePaperByPDFPageSize" of Poppler's pdftops utility on
already processed PDF data. Thanks to Tim Waugh from Red Hat
for the patch.
- cups-browsed: Improve the efficiency of BrowsePoll by using
IPP notifications when possible. It falls back to the
previous behaviour if it is not possible to use this
optimization. Thanks to Tim Waugh from Red Hat for the patch.
CHANGES IN V1.0.38
- pdftops: Added "-dNOINTERPOLATE" to the Ghostscript command line
for quicker processing of embedded bitmaps.
- pstopdf: Added "-dUseCIEColor" to the Ghostscript command line
to assure compatibility with newer Ghostscript versions (9.08
and newer).
CHANGES IN V1.0.37
- Added example configuration files for systemd and Upstart. Thanks
to Tomáš Chvátal for the systemd file.
- Build system: Make sure that gstoraster gets linked against the
libcupsfilters of the currently built package and not of the
system. Thanks to Tomáš Chvátal.
- cupsfilters.convs: Reworked the cost factors of the filters to
avoid bogus filter chains like pstotiff|imagetopdf instead of
pstopdf|pdftopdf for PostScript->PDF. Thanks to Tim Waugh from
Red Hat for the report.
- pdftopdf: Accept additional command line options for PPD-less
printing.
- cups-browsed: Fixed building with CUPS 1.5.x and older,
ippSetVersion() was missing under the accessor function definitions
for backward compatibility.
CHANGES IN V1.0.36
- Fixed libdl detection in configure. Thanks to Andreas Huettel and
Yuta Satoh (Gentoo bug #478642).
- cups-browsed: Allow BrowsePoll operation also access print queues
on older CUPS servers. Thanks to David Mohr for the patch.
- cups-browsed: Assure that it always applies to the local CUPS
daemon and never to a remote one specified via client.conf
(Ubuntu bug #1207203).
- pdftoopvp, pdftoijs, pdftoraster, bannertopdf: Made code working
with Poppler 0.24.x (Bug #1144).
- gstoraster: Silenced compiler warnings.
- gstoraster, pdftoraster: Added support for PPD-less printing
controlled by IPP attributes (CUPS 1.7.x+ only).
- gstoraster, gstopxl: Moved these filters from Ghostscript to
cups-filters as upstream home.
- libcupsfilters: Added new cupsRasterParseIPPOptions() API
function for PPD-less printing controlled by IPP attributes
(raster.h, CUPS 1.7.x+ only).
- pdftopdf: Added support for page labels. "page-label" option and
"CLASSIFICATION" environment variable. Thanks to Tim Waugh from
Red Hat for the patch.
- pdftops: If one or more of the PDF-to-PS renderers (Ghostscript,
Poppler pdftops, Poppler pdftocairo, acroread) is not installed
at build time, pre-fill the appropriate executable's path with the
executable name to allow the use of this renderer when it gets
installed later (Debian bug #716842).
- cups-browsed: Do not resolve host names of remote printers discovered
via CUPS broadcasts (Bug #1141).
- Added man pages for cups-browsed and cups-browsed.conf. Thanks to
Brian Potkin for the contribution (Debian bug #714460).
- Install also escp.h, it is useful for .drv files.
CHANGES IN V1.0.35
- pdftoraster: Silenced compiler warning (Bug #1092).
- bannertopdf: Fixed typo which prevented the host name to be shown
(Bug #1115).
- README: Fixed info about the PPD keyword cupsManualCopies (Bug
#1086).
- Modified the cost factors of the filters to avoid unneeded PDF
conversion detours when the input data is PostScript. Instead of
pstopdf->pdftopdf->pdftops and pstopdf->pdftopdf->gstoraster we
get pstops and pstops->gstoraster now (Bug #1138).
- pdftops: Added experimental support for pdftocairo as PDF renderer.
Note that PostScript level 1 output and PDF input with color
spaces other than DeviceRGB, DeviceGray, sRGB or sGray is not
supported. PDFs generated by Cairo (for example when printing from
evince) uses only supported color spaces. Thanks to James Cloos
for the patch (Bug #1139).
- cups-browsed: Changed default of browsing protocols fron none to
both DNS-SD and CUPS.
- pdftops: Let Poppler generally generate PostScript level 3 if the
PPD identifies the printer as PS3 printer, make an exception of
sending PostScript Level 2 only for HP's laser printers, to not
compromise print quality and performance on all PS3 printers only
due to some buggy HP models (Debian bug #712949, see also Ubuntu bug
#277404).
- Install pcl.h, it is needed by cupsfilters.drv. Thanks to Jiri
Popelka from Red Hat for the patch (Bug #1133).
- Make cups-filters building with automake 1.13. Thanks to Andreas K.
Huettel (dilfridge) on IRC.
- libcupsfilters, libfontembed, pdftopdf, texttopdf, cups-browsed:
Fixed several resource leaks and other problems. Thanks to Jiri
Popelka from Red Hat for the patches (Bug #1116).
CHANGES IN V1.0.34
- cups-browsed: Fixed build with OpenBSD (Bug #1103).
- pdftopdf: Enabled hardware copy generation, if available.
- pdftopdf: Fixed evenDuplex logic.
- cups-browsed: If a queue left over from the last session
gets confirmed, fill in the data structure with the Bonjour
parameters, also update the Bonjour parameters if a local
queue is upgraded from IPP to IPPS.
CHANGES IN V1.0.33
- cups-browsed: Added NULL check (Bug #1106).
CHANGES IN V1.0.32
- cups-browsed: Shared algorithm to generate local queues based on
browsed remote queue data between Bonjour and CUPS browsing, as the
simpler method used for CUPS browsing could overwrite local print
queues and had de-duplication problems, for example if the server
appears on two IPs in the network (connected by both ethernet and
WLAN).
- cups-browsed: CUPS broadcasting also broadcasted non-shared,
especially cups-browsed-generated printers. Switched to detection
of non-shared printers by the appropriate bit in the printer-type
bit field IPP attribute.
- cups-browsed: Made CUPS broadcasting work also without BrowseAllow
lines in cups-browsed.conf. In this case we accept all remote
printers (Ubuntu bug #1163764).
- README: Updated documentation for cups-browsed.
- Added more comments and examples to /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf.
- cups-browsed: Added support for "...:<port>" extensions of
BrowsePoll addresses. Thanks to Tim Waugh from Red Hat (Ubuntu
bug 1159213).
CHANGES IN V1.0.31
- cups-browsed: cups-browsed removed valid local queues pointing to
remote queues when cups-browsed did not shut down cleanly after
the previous session, leaving the user with missing local accessor
queues for some of the remote CUPS queues (Ubuntu bug #1131149).
- Fixed build system to allow parallel or multilib builds. Thanks to
Timo Gurr for the patch (Bug #1104).
- pdftopdf: Improved error output.
- pdftopdf: getRotation now handles unusual cases more graceful
(probably fixes Ubuntu Bug #1154318).
- Fixed build system to allow building without Avahi. In this case
a cups-browsed with only CUPS broadcasting/browsing will get
built. Thanks to Tim Waugh from Red Hat (Bug #1101, Bug #1102).
CHANGES IN V1.0.30
- cups-browsed: Do not remove a generated local print queue when
it was made the system default printer (Ubuntu bug #1146407).
- texttopdf: Fixed corrupted pdf when a utf-8 title is given and
corresponding crash with 'prettyprint' (Ubuntu Bug #1137438).
- cups-browsed: Added CUPS Broadcasting for sharing local printers
to remote CUPS clients with CUPS 1.5.x and older. Thanks to Tim
Waugh from Red Hat.
- cups-browsed: Added sample config-file and build-time default
setting options. Thanks to Tim Waugh from Red Hat.
- cups-browsed: Added CUPS browsing and BrowsePoll functionality, to
be backwards compatible to CUPS 1.5.x and older servers. Thanks
to Tim Waugh from Red Hat.
- pdftopdf: Fixed incorrect evenDuplex page insertion (Bug #1088).
- pdftoopvp: Let it build with Poppler 0.22.x. Thanks to Koji Otani
from BBR Inc. (Bug #1089).
CHANGES IN V1.0.29
- Fixed ./configure option "--with-rcdir=no". Thanks to Jiri
Popelka from Red Hat (Bug #1091).
CHANGES IN V1.0.28
- cups-browsed: Do not create CUPS queues for shared local CUPS
printers.
CHANGES IN V1.0.27
- cups-browsed: The daemon crashed if there is no local CUPS queue
at all. Fixed.
CHANGES IN V1.0.26
- Some fixes in README and INSTALL.
- cups-browsed: Added daemon to browse the Bonjour broadcasts of
shared remote CUPS printers and automatically add local raw queues
pointing to them, to resemble the behavior of the former CUPS
broadcasting/browsing which was dropped in CUPS 1.6. Now remote
printers appear as local print queues as before, but with the
standardized Bonjour broadcasting.
- "make dist" got broken in 1.0.25. Fixed.
CHANGES IN V1.0.25
- urftopdf: Newly added filter to convert the URF format which (at
least some) iOS apps send when printing via AirPrint (Bug #1076).
- pdftopdf: pdfautorotate functionality has been patched directly
into pdftopdf (Bug #1080).
- pdftopdf: "mirror" produced only empty pages (XObjects not there).
- pdftopdf: Fixed segfault on "page-ranges=1-2147483647" (from cups).
- pdftopdf: Fixed collate filler insertion.
- texttopdf: Fixed deficient string escaping (Bug #1071).
- pdftoopvp: Get correct byte order definition when building under
OpenBSD (Bug #1070).
- serial backend: Added check for sys/ioctl.h to configure.ac (Bug
#1069).
- pdftopdf: Made code building under OpenBSD (Bug #1068).
- pdftopdf: Don't expect too much C++11 support for now (Bug #1067).
CHANGES IN V1.0.24
- pdftopdf now generates the necessary pdf comments to disable
duplicate number-up when pdftops is also applied (Bug #1063).
- pdftops: Added support for using Adobe Reader (acroread) in command
line mode for turning PDF to PostScript (Bug #1065).
- pdftopdf: Fix build on OpenBSD (Bug #1062).
- pdftops: Fix stripping of page management options from the pstops
command line which got already applied by pdftopdf. If the name
of the option to be removed is contained in the name of a option
in the command line (like "number-up" in "number-up-layout" or
"scaling" in "Natural-scaling"), this option gets stripped instead
of the correct option (Bug #1064).
CHANGES IN V1.0.23
- Removed filter/pdftopdf.old
- Fixed the requires.private for cupsfilters lib
CHANGES IN V1.0.22
- Added missing *.h files of filter/pdftopdf/ to source file list so
that "make dist" builds correct upstream tarballs.
CHANGES IN V1.0.21
- bannertopdf: Page duplication routine fixed.
- bannertopdf: Fixed invalid output of a direct stream object.
- pdftopdf filter replaced by new QPDF-based filter from Tobias
Hoffmann's Google Summer of Code project. The former Poppler-based
pdftopdf duplicated a lot of Poppler's code. The old filter is
still in the package as pdftopdf.old with source code in
filter/pdftopdf.old. It will be removed in a later release.
- Added most recent contributors to AUTHORS and COPYING files.
CHANGES IN V1.0.20
- pdftops: Added another workaround for Kyocera printers: Some
models get very slow on images which request interpolation,
so now we remove the image interpolation requests by additional
PostScript code only inserted for Kyocera printers (Ubuntu bug
#1026974).
- pdftops: The build system only configured the default renderer
(Ghostscript OR Poppler), not the other renderer, but as we support
switching on runtime both need to get configured.
- Improved portability of the package to non-Linux systems (Bug #1056).
- Made the Poppler-based filters pdftopdf and pdftoopvp build with
both Poppler 0.18.x and 0.20.x (Bug #1055).
- Let build system check for dlopen.
CHANGES IN V1.0.19
- Fixes according to Coverity scan results (Bug #1054).
- Added distribution packaging instructions to INSTALL.
- Switched build system to autotools. This especially fixes several
build problems in Gentoo. Also build-tested with CUPS 1.6.0b1.
- Fixes for compatibility with clang/gcc-4.7.
- textonly: Filter did not work as a pipe with copies=1 (Bug #1032).
- texttopdf: Avoid trimming the results of FcFontSort(), as this may
miss some reasonable candidates under certain circumstances. BTW,
fix passing a non-pointer as a pointer to "result" (Debian bug
#670055),
- Corrected documentation. The option for the maximum image rendering
resolution in pdftops is "pdftops-max-image-resolution", not
"pdftops-max-image-resolution-default".
CHANGES IN V1.0.18
- Modified "./configure" options related to the pdftops filter to
allow changing the defaults for the renderer being used by default
(Ghostscript or Poppler) and the maximum image rendering resolution
and to supply paths for both Ghostscript's gs and Poppler's pdftops.
- pdftops: Allow selection whether Ghostscript or Poppler is used
at runtime, setting the "pdftops-renderer" option to "gs" or
"pdftops".
- pdftops: Allow setting an upper limit for the image rendering
resolution, also at runtime, setting the option
"pdftops-max-image-resolution" to the desired limit in dpi.
"0" means no limit.
- pdftops: Fixed crash by wrong usage of sizeof() function when adding
"Collate" to the fifth command line argument for the "pstops" CUPS
filter call (Ubuntu bug #982675).
- pdftops: Removed newline from copies value when reading it from
the "%%PDFTOPDFNumCopies" entry of the incoming PDF file.
- pdftops: Silenced compiler warning about ignoring the return
value of the write() function.
- pdftops: Added a crash guard.
- pdftops: Start determining the printing resolution with
cupsRasterInterpretPPD(), this is the most reliable as often
the choice names of the "Resolution" option are marketing names
with higher numerical values than the actual resolution. Also
ignore error exit values of cupsRasterInterpretPPD() as the
function can error out after having found the resolution.
- pdftops: If printing resolution is determined by
cupsRasterInterpretPPD() do not stick on 100 dpi if the
resolution cannot be determined (Ubuntu bug #984082).
CHANGES IN V1.0.17
- pdftopdf: Fixed segmentation fault when printing selected pages
("page-ranges" option, Ubuntu bug #980673).
CHANGES IN V1.0.16
- pdftopdf: Fixed segmentation faults when using N-up with certain PDF
files (Ubuntu bug #980673) and when calling pdftopdf manually without
specifyting a PPD file.
CHANGES IN V1.0.15
- pdftops: Suppress image compression only for Brother printers as they
really need this measure to print at all. This accelerates printer-
internal job processing on most other printers (tested on HP and
Kyocera). Also suppress page compression on Kyocera printers, this
works around a bug in Kyocera's PostScript interpreters which makes
printing pages with images very slow (Ubuntu bug #977912).
CHANGES IN V1.0.14
- pdftops: Determine printing resolution from the PPD file and supply
it on the Ghostscript or pdftops (Poppler) command line, so that
the renderer does the image rendering with a resolution matching the
printer's resolution. This avoids too slow processing of the jobs
by the printer's built-in PostScript interpreter. In addition
a default resolution of 300 dpi is used for PPDs without any hint
of the printer's resolution, as most PostScript lasers use multiples
of 300 dpi as resolution (Ubuntu bug #977912).
CHANGES IN V1.0.13
- bannertopdf: Fix display of the job dates on the test page and on
banner pages (Ubuntu bug #975064).
CHANGES IN V1.0.12
- Fixed crash of imagetopdf filter when it is called manually
without supplying a valid PPD file (Ubuntu bug #973564).
CHANGES IN V1.0.11
- Actually install the Generic PDF printer PPD file.
- Really introduce a Generic PDF printer PPD file.
CHANGES IN V1.0.10
- Added Generic PPD file for native PDF printers.
- Updated all code copied from Poppler to the current state of Poppler.
- Made Poppler-based PDF filters building with various versions of
Poppler.
CHANGES IN V1.0.9
- Deactivated NIME conversion rules which are not used by the PDF-
based printing workflow.
- Cleaned up sample PPD file HP-Color_LaserJet_CM3530_MFP-PDF.ppd.
- imagetopdf: Added support for native PDF printers.
- imagetopdf, imagetoraster: Let image input "scale to fit"
by default. This makes photo printing via AirPrint work,
as the iOS devices send JPEG but do not allow setting options.
CHANGES IN V1.0.8
- pdftops: Generally do not compress fonts and images, and
also do not do CCITT compression for bitmap glyphs to make
the PostScript output more compatible with buggy PostScript
interpreters. The output gets 30-50% longer but will work on
many more different printer models. Problems were also
discovered on HP and not only on Brother (Ubuntu bug
#960666).
CHANGES IN V1.0.7
- pdftops: Added PostScript debug mode. For jobs sent with "-o psdebug"
the PostScript output by Ghostscript does not have compression of
pages and fonts, so that one can analyse the PostScript code,
especially in cases of incompatibilities and bugs of the built-in
PostScript interpreters of printers. Thanks to the Ghostscript
upstream developers for this hint.
CHANGES IN V1.0.6
- texttopdf: Fixed minor miscalculation of /AvgWidth.
- texttopdf: Added support for direct file references in pdf.utf-8.
- pdftops: Added another workaround for a bug in Brother's PostScript
interpreter: Suppress CCITT compression for bitmap glyphs and
images on Brother printers (Ubuntu bug #955553).
- texttopdf: Fixed typo in pdf font descriptor dictionary keys.
- Fixed ColorDevice definition in cupsfilters.drv for HP DesignJet
printers.
- Put ModelNumber entries in cupsfilters.drv at the right place to
get correct "*cupsModelNumber:" entries in the PPDs for the HP
DesignJet printers.
- rastertopclx: Code of JCL options did not get inserted into the JCL
header.
- parallel backend: Use the same way as CUPS does to prevent an
infinite loop on side channel errors (CUPS STR #4044).
- pdftopdf: Added support for native PDF printers, add JCL (PJL)
options and send page_log entries only if the PDF has the
"*JCLToPDFInterpreter:" keyword.
- Updated README.txt for the new native PDF printer support.
- Added a sample PPD file for a native PDF printer,
HP-Color_LaserJet_CM3530_MFP-PDF.ppd.
- texttopdf: A lot of internal rework; also split up into more files
- texttopdf: Fixed many bugs on the way
- texttopdf: Added support for CFF-flavoured OTFs; for these
subsetting is not yet implemented, full embedding is done instead
- texttopdf: Adapted and improved fontconfig font selection
- Make sure that "make clean" and "make distclean" also work if
Makedefs does not exist (Debian bug #663564).
CHANGES IN V1.0.5
- pdftops: Added insertion of workaround PostScript code for printers
with bugs in their PS interpreters (Ubuntu bugs #950713, #951627).
- parallel backend: Break infinite loop (Ubuntu bug #936647).
- texttopdf: Complete the implementation of fontconfig-based font
selection (Debian bug #663070).
CHANGES IN V1.0.4
- texttopdf: Fall back to altermative fonts via fontconfig if the
FreeMono TrueType fonts are not installed (Debian bugs #495598
and #662660).
- bannertopdf: Fix off-by-one error in page duplication
- bannertopdf: Put indirect references to streams into the page's
contents
- bannertopdf: Let byte offsets for the Xref table of the PDF output
being determined correctly also when the output goes to stdout
(Ubuntu bug #939735).
- bannertopdf: Output multiple copies of the test page if duplex
and/or N-up is chosen, to let the test page appear on all possible
positions of the sheet (Ubuntu bug #939530).
CHANGES IN V1.0.3
- bannertopdf: Draw the frame to mark the non-printable borders 1pt
smaller all around to assure that it is always visible, like it was
done in bannertops.
- bannertopdf: Scale the page to fit onto the desired output page.
- bannertopdf: Get and output the correct media limits.
CHANGES IN V1.0.2
- bannertopdf: Fixed crash caused by wrong Poppler API use.
- bannertopdf: Info text on test page came out in gray and not in
black.
CHANGES IN V1.0.1
- Added the textonly filter and its PPD file, a driver for text-only
printers.
- Install the pdftoijs sample PPD file
HP-PhotoSmart_Pro_B8300-hpijs-pdftoijs.ppd
- Added cupsfilters.drv, centralized ppdc-based PPD generator for the
printer driver filters in this package. Current printers supported
are several HP DesignJet large format inkjet printers.
- Fixed "make uninstall". Now everything of this package gets removed.
- Added wrapper scripts texttops and imagetops for backward
compatibility to third-party PPD files or custom configurations
which refer to these filters explicitly (Debian bug #658258).
CHANGES IN V1.0
- Built the pdftops filter based on Ghostscript by default, as
Ghostscript is better optimized for print output (Ubuntu bug
#926068).
- If the pdftops filter is built for using Poppler, let Poppler not
emit PostScript level 3, as this causes problems with some HP
printers (Ubuntu bug #277404, Freedesktop (Poppler) bug #19640).
- bannertopdf needs to be linked with C++ (bug #995)
- Added test.sh script for testing texttopdf
- Added original documentation of the PDF filters to README.txt
- Install C header files and the static library
- General clean-up of "make install" targets in Makefiles
- Raised MIME conversion cost factor of pdftoraster from 66 to 100 to
give priority to the gstoraster filter from Ghostscript, as this
filter supports ICC-profile-based color management.
- Documentation updated because libijs, liblcms, freetype, and
fontconfig are needed to build this package
CHANGES IN V1.0b1
- Removed the bannertops, imagetops, and texttops filters, they are
not needed any more in the PDF-based printing workflow
- Added support for liblcms2
- Named the package "OpenPrinting CUPS Filters"
- Renamed libcupslegacy to libcupsfilters
- Joined pdftops and cpdftocps filters into one C program
- Added new bannertopdf filter from Lars Uebernickel:
https://launchpad.net/bannertopdf
- Added the filters for the PDF-based printing workflow, from
OpenPrinting: http://sourceforge.jp/projects/opfc/ and
http://www.openprinting.org/download/printing/pdf-printing/
- Initial packaging of files that are no longer included in CUPS 1.6
from CUPS upstream (http://www.cups.org/)
