* foomatic-rip.in: Fixed bug of foomatic-rip replacing a JCL
4
command (ex: "@PJL HOLDKEY=1234") if another which is contained
5
in the first one is supplied (ex: "@PJL HOLD=STORE"). Thanks to
6
Jociel Cavalcante Andrade (jcainfo at inf dot ufes dot br) for
7
reporting the bug and testing the fix.

11
* foomatic-rip.in: Include -*- perl -*- for Emacs mode selection.
12
13
* foomatic-gswrapper.in: Instead of testing for /dev/fd/*, use
14
them directly; this gets around some unreliability with
15
Ghostscript prefiltering that is described in Debian bug report
16
#271519 (http://bugs.debian.org/271519). Also include -*- perl
17
-*- for Emacs mode selection.

33
error 29 (ESPIPE = "Illegal seek") on "close STDIN;" on some
34
non-Linux platforms as Unixware 7.1.0, fixed problem of CUPS
35
page accounting PostScript code in foomatic-rip overriding
36
already exisiting /EndPage procedures. Added output of error
37
code when foomatic-rip dies. Thanks to Helge Blischke
38

120
2003-12-21 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
121
122

145
146
2003-11-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
147
148
* foomatic-rip.in, filter.conf: Added support for CUPS raster
149
drivers to foomatic-rip. Now CUPS raster drivers can be used
150
with every spooler.
151
152
2003-10-24 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
153
154
* foomatic-rip.in: Fixed bug of sometimes an extra blank page
155
being printed after the job.
156
157
2003-10-21 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
158
159
* configure.in: Added option "--disable-file-converter-check" to
160
disable checking whether there is a file converter installed.
161
162
2003-10-20 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
163
164
* configure.in: Added /usr/local/libexec to LIBSEARCHPATH for *BSD
165
compatibilty. Thanks to Sebastian Horzela (sh at horzela dot
166
com).
167
168
* configure.in: For CUPS a2ps, enscript, or mpage is not needed,
169
here texttops of CUPS is used be default. So let ./configure
170
also check for texttops.
171
172
* tests/Makefile.in: Continue testing when comparing the result of
173
a test with the reference file fails, give only a warning in
174
such a case.
175
176
2003-10-20 Patrick Powell <papowell@lprng.com>
177
178
* added 'use strict' and -w to the Perl options.
179
180
* fixed a large number of undefined or out of scope variable
181
references discovered by the 'use strict' and -w.
182
183
* added 'use Cwd' to get current working directory
184
185
* Modified foomatic-rip to auto-sense the LPRng configuration.
186
This eliminates the need for the --lprng option, unless you want
187
to use it. You now set the ppd_file option in the printcap to
188
specify the location of the PPD file:
189
190
lp:filter=/path/to/foomatic-rip
191
:ppd_file=/path/to/ppdfile
192
or
193
lp:filter=/path/to/foomatic-rip --ppd=/path/to/ppdfile \
194
[options]
195
or
196
lp:filter=/path/to/foomatic-rip --lprng [options] \
197
/path/to/ppdfile
198
(legacy documented foomatic method)
199
200
If you specify both, the command line overrides the :ppd_file
201
New versions of the LPRng 'checkpc' program will check for the
202
presence of the :ppd_file if it is specified.
203
204
* Modified fomatic-rip to be less 'verbose' and not put out blank
205
lines when used with LPRng. Changed 'dieing' to 'dying' in
206
error messages, as well as removing some typeos in other places.
207
208
* Modified the configure.in, Makefile.in, and makeMan.in scripts
209
to use the current/latest autoconf conventions. Using
210
${INSTALL} to do installation and mkinstalldirs to create
211
directories. Modified the configure script to NOT override the
212
use of sysconfdir. You can now run the configure script from a
213
subdirectory. This implies that your filter.conf file will now
214
be installed in ${sysconfdir}/foomatic/filter.conf, not in
215
/etc/foomatic/filter.conf. The other foomatic installation
216
scripts should also be modified to follow this convention.
217
218
* The configure script now checks for at least one page converter
219
(a2ps, enscript, mpage) and errors if one is not installed.
220
221
* modified the code for 'echo' to be compatible with the comments in
222
foomatic-rip. The filter.conf file can now set the echo program.
223
224
2003-09-13 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
225
226
* foomatic-rip.in: When option settings on the last page of a job
227
changed and the last page was read completely into the FIFO
228
before it was printed, the renderer was not restarted to take
229
into account the option changes.
230
231
Added a new workaround for a new bug in the PostScript generated
232
by OpenOffice.org 1.1.0.
233
234
2003-08-21 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
235

237
238
2003-08-14 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
239
240
* foomatic-rip.in: Fixed checks for CPS printer spooler.
241
242
2003-08-01 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
243
244
* foomatic-rip.in: Fixes on JCL header merging, support for nested
245
composite options.
246
247
2003-07-30 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
248
249
* foomatic-rip.in: If a printer/driver combo has Foomatic-defined
250
JCL options and the driver already generates a JCL header, the
251
JCL options are merged into the header produced by the driver.
252
253
2003-06-26 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
254
255
* configure.in, makeMan.in, foomatic-rip.in: Support for IRIX.
256
257
* foomatic-rip.in: Updated comments.
258
259
2003-06-25 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
260
261
* foomatic-rip.in: Let "echo" commands in the renderer command
262
line being replaced by $myecho, so that printing on non-GNU
263
systems with user-selected GNU "echo" command works.

267
* *: Tagged CVS for the release of foomatic-filters 3.0.0.
268
Tag name: "foomatic-filters-3_0_0".
269
270
* README, USAGE: Updated for version 3.0.0.
271
272

276
* *: Tagged CVS for the release of foomatic-filters 3.0.0rc2.
277
Tag name: "foomatic-filters-3_0_0rc2".
278
279
* README, USAGE: Updated for version 3.0.0rc2.
280
281
* foomatic-rip.1.in: Added missing substitutions for special
282
characters in postpipe.
283
284
2003-04-21 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
285
286
* foomatic-rip.in: added restriction for allowed strings by means
287
of lists of allowed characters (PPD keyword:
288
'*FoomaticRIPOptionAllowedChars <option>: "..."') and Perl
289
regular expressions (PPD: '*FoomaticRIPOptionAllowedRegExp
290
<option>: "..."'). The allowed characters are checked by a
291
'/^[...]*$/' expression in the Perl scripts, so ranges with '-',
292
forbidden characters with a leading '^', or special characters
293
as '\w', '\d', '\x07', ... are allowed. Regular expressions are
294
applied via a '/.../' expression. These restrictions are done
295
for security reasons, to avoid for example a string like "|| rm
296
-rf * ||" in a command line option.
297
298
The string 'None' is always mapped to the empty string,
299
as PPD files and the command of some spoolers do not accept an
300
empty string as argument value.
301
302
Several bug fixes done for the string options.

* *: Tagged CVS for the release of foomatic-filters 3.0.0rc1.
307
Tag name: "foomatic-filters-3_0_0rc1".
308
309
* README, USAGE: Updated for version 3.0.0rc1.
310
311
2003-04-12 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
312
313
* foomatic-rip.in: Introduced string and password options.
314
315
2003-04-07 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
316
317
* foomatic-rip.in: Currently, the renderer is re-started whenever
318
an arbitrary option is changed from one page to the next one.
319
For PostScript options this is not really needed when one resets
320
the PostScript state from before the beginning of the page. Done
321
tests with saving the state before and restoring it after every
322
page, but this did not work as the "showpage" cannot be bracketed
323
by "(g)save"/"(g)restore". See Adobe's "PostScript Language
324
Document Structuring Convention (DSC) Specification Version 3.0"
325
(http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/technotes/postscript.html),
326
section 4.3, "Use of showpage" (p. 26). Problem is that "showpage",
327
"(g)save", and "(g)restore" are often in macros/subroutines, so
328
they are not easily visible so that one can easily insert option
329
settings or saving/restoring of the PostScript state at the correct
330
place. So for now inserting saving/restoring lines is commented out
331
in foomatic-rip and the renderer is restarted at every option
332
change ("optionsequal(, , , 0)") and not only after changes of
333
JCL or command line options ("optionsequal(, , , 1)").
334
335
Fixed bug of Prolog and DocumentSetup sections created by
336
foomatic-rip when first "%%Page: ..." is found not being added
337
to the PostScript header data .
338
339
2003-04-06 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
340
341
* foomatic-rip.in: Added support for applying options only to
342
selected pages via the command line. Now options can be
343
preceeded by a page specification:
344
345
CUPS, GNUlpr, CPS, no spooler:
346
lpr -o 1:InputSlot=Letterhead
347
lpr -o even:Watermark=on
348
lpr -o 1,6-10,15,20-:MediaType=YellowPaper
349
350
LPRng:
351
lpr -Z 1-2:MediaType=Cardboard
352
353
LPD:
354
lpr -J "1,6-10,15,20-:MediaType=YellowPaper"
355
356
PPR (RIP):
357
ppr --ripopts "1:InputSlot=Letterhead"
358
359
PPR (Interface)
360
ppr -i "1:InputSlot=Letterhead"
361
362
The syntax is "even", "odd", or giving comma-separated page
363
numbers or page ranges. Applying options to selected pages with
364
PDQ is not supported.

375
376
* foomatic-rip.in: Workaround for bug in OpenOffice.org.
377
OpenOffice.org puts "%%BeginSetup...%%EndSetup" section with
378
option settings valid for the whole document after the first
379
"%%Page:..." line. So without the workaround all settings made
380
with the "Properties" button in the "File"|"Print" dialog
381
applied only to the first page, the other pages were printed
382
with the printer's default settings. Fixed also some typos.

393
OpenOffice.org) being ignored; added support for
394
"FoomaticRIPDefault..." keywords in numerical options (see

instead of "-" on GhostScript command line), use block
443
reading preferrably.
444
445
* foomatic-rip.in: Made sure that an absolute path for the PPD
446
file is inserted in the PDQ driver description file, suppress
447
log output on standard error whenn generating a PDQ driver
448
description file.

463
2002-11-27 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
464
465
* Makefile.in, configure.in, makeMan.in: Updated Makefile
466
infrastructure to let the package correctly build the man page
467
and link foomatic-rip into the filter directories of CUPS and
468
PPR.
469
470
* foomatic-rip.in: Allow more than one occurence of the same spot
471
("%A", "%B", ...) in the RIP command line prototype, so that one
472
option setting can act on several points of the command line
473
(was an old TODO point of Grant).
474
475
* foomatic-rip.1.in: Continued working on the man page for
476
foomatic-rip.
477
478
* foomatic-gswrapper.in: Fall back to "| cat >&3" and "-" instead
479
of "/dev/fd/3" and "/dev/fd/0", if the file descriptor directory
480
/dev/fd does not exist.
481
482
* README, USAGE, TODO: Updated the package documentation.
483
484
2002-11-26 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
485
486
* foomatic-rip.in: Added instructions for using a custom page size
487
to the documentation page output ("-o docs") for the PPR RIP
488
mode of foomatic-rip.
489
490
* src/*.in, src/Makefile, lpdomatic.8.in, directomatic.1.in:
491
Removed the old spooler-specific filters, they are replaced
492
by foomatic-rip now.
493
494
* Makefile.in, configure.in: Removed stuff to build the old
495
src/*omatic filter.
496
497
* foomatic-rip.1.in: Added man page for foomatic-rip.
498
499
2002-11-25 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
500
501
* foomatic-rip.in: Various fixes and adaptations to make
502
foomatic-rip well working together with the new
503
foomatic-configure:
504
505
Support for raw queues under all spoolers and spooler-less
506
printing.
507
508
When foomatic-rip is used as a PPR RIP, it accepts also options
509
through the new "--ripopts" option of the "ppr" command of PPR
510
1.50 now.
511
512
Accept "-o <option>=<value>" on the command line also when one
513
uses foomatic-rip as a PPR RIP, so one can easily set defaults
514
using
515
516
ppad rip <printer> foomatic-rip x -o <option>=<value> -o <switch>
517
518
519
Fixed bug which broke renderer command lines composed from
520
several shell commands in debug mode.
521
522
Read Foomatic IDs from the PPD file.
523
524
Make default configuration file for spooler-less printing being
525
/etc/foomatic/direct/.config and PPD files being searched in
526
/etc/foomatic/direct.
527
528
In debug mode debug logging is started in the beginning of the
529
parsing of the command line options, right after checking the
530
options relevant for logging.
531
532
2002-11-16 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
533
534
* foomatic-rip.in: Added legacy interface for old Foomatic 2.0 PPD
535
files. Now foomatic-rip accepts all PPD files except the ones
536
for native CUPS drivers.
537
538
Fixed output of sample command line in the help page generator,
539
also do not display options with only one choice on the help
540
page.
541
542
Do not range check numerical options when building the command
543
line, we did it already when obtaining the option settings from
544
the command line, the PPD file, and the job data.
545
546
2002-11-15 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
547
548
* foomatic-rip.in: Now all spoolers, including PDQ, are supported
549
and tested successfully. With foomatic-rip all spoolers can be
550
used with PPD files now, either PPD files supplied by printer
551
manufacturers for their PostScript printers or Foomatic (2.9.x)
552
PPD files.
553
554
Added "buildpdqdriver()" function and "--genpdq"/"--appendpdq"
555
command line options to build PDQ driver declaration files which
556
call foomatic-rip for the dirty work and offer all options
557
available in the PPD file to the PDQ user. They accept all file
558
types, so PostScript and all, what the file conversion filter in
559
use ("a2ps", "enscript", "mpage") understands, can be printed.
560
561
Setup of a printer under PDQ as follows:
562
563
cp foomatic-rip /usr/bin
564
cp myprinter.ppd /etc/foomatic (or ~/.foomatic/)
565
chmod 666 /dev/lp* (or /dev/usb/lp*)
566
foomatic-rip -P myprinter \
567
--genpdq /usr/lib/pdq/drivers/misc/myprinter.pdq
568
xpdq (set up the printer, right-click -> "Add Printer")
569
570
The first three lines are the same as for spooler-less printing.
571
In The "foomatic-rip" line one can add options (with "-o") to
572
change the defaults in the PDQ driver declaration file.
573
574
Improvements on documentation page generation: Support for "-o
575
switch"/"-o noswitch" for boolean options. Minor text
576
corrections.
577
578
2002-11-14 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
579
580
* foomatic-rip.in: Now all spoolers (except PDQ) are tested
581
successfully.
582
583
Added support for foomatic-rip running as a PPR
584
RIP (PPR 1.5x), before it could only run as a PPR interface. To
585
use it as a PPR RIP one sets up the print queue as follows:
586
587
ln -s foomatic-rip /usr/lib/ppr/lib/
588
ppad interface foo parallel /dev/lp0
589
ppad ppd foo /path/to/foo.ppd
590
ppad rip foo foomatic-rip other x
591
592
(the "x" in the end of the last line is needed to work around a
593
bug.)
594
595
Use "PPR_VERSION" environment variable to auto-detect whether
596
PPR is the spooler.
597
598
The parsing of the command line options did not work with the
599
Getopt::Long Perl library when using LPRng as the spooler. The
600
problem is that LPRng uses short options (one hyphen and one
601
letter) and lets the argument follow without space
602
("-ZPageSize=A4"), on this Getopt::Long chokes. Replaced
603
Getopt::Long by a self-made method to parse the options.
604
605
Prepared foomatic-rip for PDQ support.
606
607
Added comment about the supported spoolers.
608
609
2002-11-13 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
610
611
* foomatic-rip.in: The basic functionality of foomatic-rip is now
612
implemented, all features of the old "*omatic" filters are also
613
available in foomatic-rip.
614
615
Now text and other non-PostScript files can be printed,
616
foomatic-rip calles "a2ps", "enscript", or "mpage" automatically
617
when it detects a non-PostScript file.
618
619
Improved command lines of "a2ps", "enscript", and "mpage" to
620
generate wider margins (so that nothing gets cut off) and
621
wrapping of too long lines (to not loose information).
622
623
The "docs" option lets a help page being printed, independent of
624
the file originally sent. This works also with manufacturer-
625
supplied PPD files of PostScript printers. CUPS prints the
626
documentation page with its native "texttops" filter by default,
627
but this can be changed to "a2ps", "enscript", or "mpage" with
628
"textfilter" line in /etc/foomatic/filter.conf.
629
630
Custom page sizes work also on manufacturer-supplied PPD files
631
now,
632
633
Fixed control of quiet, verbose, and debug mode from the command
634
line ("-q", "-v", "--debug").
635
636
foomatic-rip used without spooler does not have any console
637
output any more (except error messages). Use the "-v"
638
("Verbose") for log output on the console and "--debug" for
639
debug log files.
640
641
Debugging files are now /tmp/foomatic-rip.log (log file) and
642
/tmp/foomatic-rip.ps (PostScript data pre-processed by
643
foomatic-rip, as it is stuffed into the renderer).
644
645
When using CUPS as the spooler, lists of the command line
646
options with which foomatic-rip was called are only written to
647
the log when in debug mode, so that Mac OS X does not produce
648
lines for the "error_log" of CUPS which have more than 1024
649
characters, as this makes CUPS aborting the job.
650
651
Fixed PPR spooler auto-detection. Now foomatic-rip should
652
work as a PPR interface as ppromatic.
653
654
Additional comments about non-PostScript and documentation
655
printing and also about the kid processes of foomatic-rip
656
and what they do.
657
658
Minor clean-ups.
659
660
2002-11-11 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
661
662
* foomatic-rip.in: Now it should be possible not only to use the
663
new (Perl-free, version 2.9.x) Foomatic PPD files with
664
foomatic-rip, but also manufacturer-supplied PPD files of
665
PostScript printers. This way one can use these PPD files with
666
every spooler and also spooler-less.
667
668
The settings of "PageSize" and "PageRegion" are kept in sync
669
now, so on does not need to take care whether "PageSize" or
670
"PageRegion" is used to set the paper size.
671
672
The "*JCL..." keywords in PostScript files of PostScript
673
printers are recognized, so the JCL options of the files are
674
taken into account and the user can adjust them.
675
676
Remove "dossy" ("\r\n") line ends from the lines read from the
677
PPD file, so also PPD files downloaded under Windows should be
678
correctly parsed.
679
680
Bugfix: Allow trailing whitespace in "*OrderDependency" lines of
681
the PPD file, for all other keywords trailing whitespace was
682
already allowed.
683
684
Added more comments about the PostScript parsing, especially
685
about stuffing in PostScript code from command line options
686
and default settings.
687
688
Workaround for "dvips" bug that it misses inserting a
689
"%%BeginProlog" comment. This will now be handled correctly.
690
691
Make sure that code for default and command line option settings
692
get also inserted in the job when it has the DSC magic string
693
("%!PS-Adobe-..") but is not DSC-conforming in reality.
694
695
To be more general, use the expression "JCL" (Job Control
696
Language) instead of "PJL" (Print Job Language) for variable
697
names and comments.
698
699
Some minor clean-ups.
700
701
2002-11-10 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
702
703
* foomatic-rip.in: Now it should be possible to print with all
704
spoolers, but only PostScript, no plain text or help pages.
705
706
Added code to parse the command line options,
707
now one can control jobs also by command line options and not
708
only by stuffing settings into the PostScript file.
709
710
Insert code of PostScript options into the appropriate sections
711
of the PostScript job. This is not done for CUPS as there the
712
"pstops" filter does it already.
713
714
Correct option settings for numerical options which the "pstops"
715
already inserts. "pstops" inserts the default setting when the
716
user-supplied value is not one of the choices in the PPD file.
717
Now foomatic-rip replaces the default value by the correct value
718
from the command line (or from "/.lpoptions).
719
720
Inserted page accounting code for CUPS.
721
722
If an enumerated choice option has only one choice, set this one
723
as the default choice. There was no default set before.
724
725
Support for postpipes (command line into which to stuff the
726
output of the renderer).
727
728
2002-11-09 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
729
730
* foomatic-rip.in: foomatic-rip is one filter to be used with
731
all spoolers now (Currently CUPS works without accounting
732
and spooler-less printing only to stdout and without
733
inserting of command line options).
734
735
Completed spooler auto-detection and loading of queue and
736
job information needed for executing the job.
737
738
Introduced loop to print more than one file per job (needed
739
for spooler-less printing).
740
741
Parse definition of a postpipe (command into which output of
742
renderer will be piped) in the PPD file, using the syntax
743
'*FoomaticRIPPostPipe: "..."'. Use of the postpipe needs still
744
to be implemented. The postpipe is needed for LPD/LPRng/GNUlpr
745
and spooler-less printing.
746
747
2002-11-07 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
748
749
* foomatic-rip.in: foomatic-rip works also as a CUPS filter,
750
without any modifications and without wrapper. Accounting
751
and help page is not supported yet. It is planned to also use
752
it as filter for the other spoolers without wrapper (spooler
753
auto-detection).
754
755
Made foomatic-rip also recognizing option
756
settings embedded in PostScript files with "dossy" line ends
757
("\r\n").
758
759
Made it more tolerant against not exactly DSC-conforming
760
PostScript. as for example CUPS' "pstops" does not put page-
761
specific option settings between "%%BeginPageSetup" and
762
"%%EndPageSetup".
763
764
Handle the problem that there can be a "%%PS-Adobe" header, but
765
the document is not DSC-conforming. Stop parsing when the next
766
DSC section is not found after a certain amount of lines.
767
768
Parse also "%%BeginProlog", "%%EndProlog", "%%BeginSetup",
769
"%%EndSetup", "%%BeginFeature", and "%%EndFeature" comments so
770
that additional option settings can be inserted.
771

2002-11-03 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
778
779
* foomatic-rip.in: "foomatic-rip", the filter to translate
780
PostScript input to the printer's native language using printer
781
capability info from a new Perl-free PPD file. It expects the
782
name of the PPD file in the environment variable PPD or with the
783
"-p" command line option and the PostScript on standard input,
784
the job translated to the printer's native language appears as
785
standard output.
786
787
The filter recognizes DSC-conforming PostScript documents and
788
searches for inserted options settings at all allowed places
789
without loading the whole document into memory. It handles also
790
command line and PJL arguments given onely for certain pages, in
791
this case the renderer (usually GhostScript) is restarted with a
792
new command line and/or new prepended PJL. For
793
non-DSC-conforming documents only settings in the beginning of
794
the file are recognized.
795
796
* Makefile.in, configure.in: Taken into account the new
797
"foomatic-rip" filter.
798
799
2002-10-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
800
801
* src/*omatic.pl.in: Support for custom page sizes. A choice named
802
"Custom" in the "PageSize" option is considered as custom page
803
size. Its "<ev_driverval>" should contain a placeholder "%0" for
804
the page width and "%1" for the page height (both in points).
805
Alternatively the "<ev_driverval>" can contain two zeros ("0")
806
from which the first will be replaced by the page width and the
807
second by the page height. PPD files will get Adobe-complient
808
for the custom page size support. So CUPS and the printing
809
dialog of Mac OS X should have no problems with the custom paper
810
size. Now custom paper sizes are available for all spoolers:
811
812
CUPS: lpr -P huge -o PageSize=Custom.500x750cm bigposter.ps
813
LPRng: lpr -P huge -Z PageSize=Custom.500x750cm bigposter.ps
814
GNUlpr: lpr -P huge -o PageSize=Custom.500x750cm bigposter.ps
815
LPD: lpr -P huge -JPageSize=Custom.500x750cm bigposter.ps
816
PPR: ppr -P huge -F "*PageSize Custom" -i 500x750cm bigposter.ps
817
PDQ: pdq -P huge -oPageSize_Custom -aPageWidth=500
818
-aPageHeight=750 -oPageSizeUnit_cm bigposter.ps

* *: Splitted Foomatic into four packages:
834
835
- foomatic-filters: Filter scripts used by the spoolers to
836
convert the incoming PostScript data into the printer's
837
native format using a printer/driver specific PPD file
838
- foomatic-db-engine: Foomatic's database engine generates
839
PPD files from the data in Foomatic's XML database. It also
840
contains scripts to directly generate print queues and handle
841
jobs.
842
- foomatic-db: The collected knowledge about printers, drivers,
843
and driver options in XML files, used by foomatic-db-engine
844
to generate PPD files.
845
- foomatic-db-hpijs: Foomatic XML data generator for HP's HPIJS
846
driver.
847
848
This package is foomatic-filters.
849
850
* configure.in, Makefile.in: Removed all portions not needed for
851
foomatic-filters.
852
853
* configure.in, Makefile.in, makeMan.in, lpdomatic.8.in,
854
directomatic.1.in: Made insertion of paths in man pages working

968
Grayscale" modes for the HP DeskJet 350, 6xxC series, and the
969
Apollo printers, the mode supports only 600x300 (not 300x300)
970
dpi and all except the DeskJet 350 and the 63xC series use
971
both and not only the black cartridge.
972
973
* db/source/printer/*: Changed recommended driver to "hpijs-rss"
974
when it was "hpijs" before (the patched version has better
975
output quality).

991
992
* src/cupsomatic.pl.in: Made command line option list only be
993
logged in debug mode. Mac OS X adds very many options to the

* data-generators/hpijs/hpijs-generator: The 300-dpi normal mode
1005
for the "LJMono" device class uses 600 dpi internally and so
1006
does not work on the 300-dpi-only printers as the HP LaserJet 4L.
1007
Restricted these printers to use the 300-dpi draft mode which

1427
on laser printers.
1428
1429

1482
1483
2002-04-17 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
1484

* db/source/*/*: Corrected "hpijs" entry for the HP 2500C/2500CN,
1486
they belong to the "DJ9xxVIP" group (as the HP DeskJet 990C), so
1487
they work perfectly with "hpijs". Replaced model string "HP
1488
BUSINESS INKJET 2250" by "DESKJET 990", the former string is
1489
not recognized by "hpijs" (in contrary to the driver's
1490
documentation).
1491
1492
* db/source/*/*: Added the Sony IJP-V100 multi-function device.
1493
1494
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Added '*PSVersion: "(3010.000) 653"' entry
1495
for GhostScript 6.53 to the PPD files. In the "getpapersize()"
1496
function let the ISO B sizes be returned, when the paper size
1497
name is only "Bx" without "JIS" or "ISO". This is also the
1498
default of GhostScript.
1499
1500
* Makefile.in: Fixed bug of database going to
1501
/usr/local/share/share/foomatic.
1502
1503
* foomatic-configure.in: Made "foomatic-configure -Q -q -r"
1504
working correctly with CUPS 1.1.14.
1505
1506
* Makefile.in, makeDefaults.in, configure.in, lib/Foomatic/DB.pm:
1507
Eliminated dependency on the "libwww-perl" Perl library, used
1508
command line tools "wget" or "curl" instead. Now Foomatic should
1509
work only with standard Perl libraries as being part of Perl
1510
itself.
1511
1512
* USAGE, README: Added the requirement of one of the tools "wget"
1513
and "curl".

1590
command line option).

1595
1596
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Made the "sortargs()" and "sortvals()"
1597
functions working with Perl 5.0x. The "sort()" function of these
1598
old Perl versions only supports the two items to compare being
1599
given to the copmaring function via the global variables "$a"
1600
and "$b", and not via "@_". linuxprinting.org runs Perl 5.005.
1601
Made also the choices for the options better sorted, especially
1602
Letter/A4 paper sizes in the beginning of the list, resolutions
1603
and "Upper"/"Middle"/"Lower" trays correctly sorted, "Default"
1604
in the beginning of the lists.

1606
2002-04-08 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
1607
1608
* foomatic-perl-data.c: New C program to parse the XML code to
1609
generate Perl data structures from it. Uses libxml (libxml 2.x
1610
recommended because otherwise XML files beginning with a blank
1611
line cannot be read).
1612
1613
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Removed disk cache and XML/Grove Perl
1614
library usage completely, all XML handling is done by C code
1615
now. Added paper sizes of the Dymo-CoStar/Avery label printers
1616
to the "getpapersize()" function, now the "ImageableArea" and
1617
"PaperDimension" entries in the PPD files are built correctly
1618
for these printers. Added possibility to output a combo XML file
1619
with the option default settings set to the values of the queue
1620
currently worked on.
1621
1622
* lib/Foomatic/DB_perl_xml.pm: Stored old XML/Grove/disk cache
1623
version of the Foomatic database library. Added documentation
1624
for this file as comments in its beginning.
1625
1626
* foomatic-configure, foomatic-printjob: Removed "grove-pathval"
1627
expression from "use Foomatic::DB.pm" line.
1628
1629
* foomatic-configure: When a printer queue is set up or modified,
1630
the option default settings are also set in the
1631
/etc/foomatic/<queue>.xml.gz printer/driver combo XML file. So
1632
frontends can also read the option settings from the XML file.
1633
1634
* foomatic-ppdload: Re-linked to old lib/Foomatic/DB_perl_xml.pm,
1635
Perl-XML/Grove-free version not implemented yet.
1636
1637
* foomatic-compiledb, foomatic-compiledb.8.in,
1638
foomatic-compiledb.1.in: In the cache-less time this has a new
1639
purpose: It generates data files for a chosen spooler (or combo
1640
XML files) and for either selected or all drivers. Moved man
1641
page to section 1, foomatic-compiledb works from a normal user
1642
account now (due to the removed cache).
1643
1644
* foomatic-datafile.8.in, foomatic-datafile.1.in: Moved man
1645
page to section 1, foomatic-datafile works from a normal user
1646
account now (due to the removed cache).
1647
1648
* foomatic-fix-xml: Remove leading blank lines from the XML files
1649
in the local Foomatic database. The leading blank lines make the
1650
XML files not readable by libxml 1.x.
1651
1652
* Makefile: Added compilation and installation of
1653
foomatic-perl-data.c.
1654
1655
* Makefile, makeDefault: Commented out all cache-related stuff.
1656
1657
* Makefile: Moved foomatic-datafile and foomatic-compiledb from

/usr/sbin to /usr/bin.
1659
1660
* README, USAGE: Foomatic version 1.9 (Foomatic without
1661
Perl-XML/Grove and without disk cache).
1662
1663
* db/source/*/*: Replaced all occurences of a cross character
1664
(used in resolutions as "600x300 dpi") by an "x" (the letter
1665
"X"). libxml chokes on the cross. Removed leading blank lines
1666
from the XML files, because this breaks libxml 1.x.

2123
* foomatic-preferred-driver: Only set new default driver when the
2124
current one is not OK.
2125
2126
* foomatic-configure: Insert ":ppdfile=<PPD file name>:\" lines
2127
into /etc/printcap (for LPD/GNUlpr/LPRng), so that the graphical
2128
printing frontend GPR finds the PPD-O-Matic PPD files
2129
automatically.

* foomatic-gswrapper: Replaced "-sOutputFile=|cat >&3" by
2139
"-sOutputFile=|cat>&3" because the second one also works when
2140
"gs" is a wrapper script around the real GhostScript binary.

printing with directomatic, added auto-detection of PPR.
2157
2158
* directomatic: Added support for having a default printer.
2159
2160
* foomatic-datafile: Added "lprng" as possible datafile type (gives
2161
the same result as "lpd").

2171
2172
* foomatic-configure: Bails out if it encounters a lprng style
2173
printcap, like those created by lprngtool, as it would hose it
2174
otherwise. This needs a better solution.
2175
* foomatic-configure.1.in: Added description of the above problem.
2176
* debian/control: The conflict with the cupsomatic-ppd package is
2177
indicated.

* ppromatic: Made ppromatic stuffing the PostScript code of all
2191
PostScript options into the job, in contrary to CUPS PPR only
2192
stuffs in the code of options explicitly given on the command
2193
line or in the "Switchset".
2194
2195
* foomatic-configure: Added PPR support.
2196
2197
2002-01-03 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
2198
2199
* ppromatic: Made it possible to have PPD files in other
2200
directories than /usr/share/ppr/PPDFiles, let ppromatic eat up
2201
data on STDIN to make documentation printing ("-i docs") working
2202
correctly. When original job is not completely read, PPR does
2203
not dequeue the print job and stops the printer because it
2204
assumes that the job was not correctly printed.

2266
(crutcher@redhat.com) which sets all Perl variables in shell
2267
command lines ($poid, $drv. $libdir, ...) into single quotes, so
2268
that nothing breaks when a strange printer/driver ID or a
2269
strangely named directory is used.

2286
the cache before and use it, if appropriate files
2287
available. Printer ID set into single quotes in the
2288
"foomatic-combo-xml" command line, to not break with the new
2289
clear text printer IDs (Thanks to Crutcher Dunnavant,

2329
and replaced the "Monochrome" option by "Ink Type".
2330
2331

linuxprinting,org, original home page is dead. Modified the
2333
comments in the database entry file appropriately.
2334
2335

2336
easily integrate this driver. Modified the comments in the
2337
database entry file appropriately.
2338
2339
* db/source/*/*: Okipage 6w only works with "oki4w" 2.0, not with

2404
Direct-O-Matic
2405
2406
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Modified comments of the LPD-O-Matic printer
2407
description file (generated by the function "getlpddata()")
2408
because these files are also used for Direct-O-Matic.
2409
2410
2001-12-07 Manfred Wassmann <foomatic@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de>
2411
2412
* Makefile: Split the install target into install-bin and
2413
install-db. Added PHONY target to mark targets not related to
2414
real files.
2415

2416
pathnames from files named <manpage>.<section>.in.
2417
Created more or less useable manpages for all binaries.
2418

2425
2426
2001-12-04 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
2427
2428
* cupsomatic, lpdomatic, ppromatic: Cleaned up multi-processing,
2429
now the parent processes wait for their children to finish and
2430
the interprocess communication pipes are closed after use. The
2431
main process waiting for their children to exit fixes especially
2432
a problem of lpdomatic: LPRng resetted the printer port when the
2433
lpdomatic was ready, but in reality lpdomatic sub-processes were
2434
still working on the job, which lead to incomplete pages being
2435
printed (Bug #486096 on SourceForge). Also updated the comments
2436
in the beginning of the files
2437
2438
* foomatic-datafile: Added PPR support.
2439
2440
* foomatic-configure: Added the "-w 1" option to "nc" used in the
2441
$postpipe for LPD, otherwise "nc" only exits a rather long time
2442
after all data has be transmitted to the printer. This prevents
2443
the new lpdomatic from exiting immediately after the job has
2444
finished and so it takes a longer time until the next job
2445
starts.
2446
2447
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Used "/PageSize[...]" instead of
2448
"/PageRegion[...]" in the "*PageRegion" option of the
2449
PPD-O-Matic PPD files becasue GhostScript does not understand
2450
"/PageRegion[...]" (found this out during tests of PPR, which
2451
uses the "*PageRegion" option and not the "*PageSize" option to
2452
set the paper size.
2453
2454
2001-12-02 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>

* ppromatic: Completed first version of ppromatic: Added error and
2457
signal handling. Introduced back channel from child processes to
2458
main process and let main process wait until all children finish,
2459
to not loose any error message or exit status to report to PPR.

2467
the correct model entry as possible choice (as "Model" option of
2468
"gimp-print"/"stp".
2469
2470
2001-11-29 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmx.net>
2471
2472
* foomatic-preferred-driver: Higher priority for "pcl3" against
2473
"sharp.upp", the support of the "pcl3" driver for the Sharp and
2474
Xerox inkjets is much better since version 3.3 of "pcl3".
2475
2476
* db/source/*/*: Added Sharp/Xerox printers to list of printers
2477
supported by "pcl3" because of better Sharp/Xerox support by
2478
"pcl3" version 3.3, also changed the recommended driver of the
2479
Sharp and Xerox inkjets to "pcl3" and the functionality to
2480
"Mostly".

<interface> means the PPR interface name for the desired printer
2497
connection type (all in /usr/lib/ppr/interfaces/: parallel,
2498
serial, tcpip, lpr, smb, atalk, ...).
2499
<address> means the printer address as needed by the interface
2500
(/dev/lp0 for parallel, printer.domain.com:9100 for tcpip, ...)
2501
<ppd file without path> is the name under which you have saved

3063
combos.
3064
3065
* foomatic-preferred-drivers: Simple program which adds a
3066
<driver>..</driver> entry to every printer. The best driver is
3067
determined by a ranking. When one deletes all XML files for
3068
drivers which are not available on the system (and adds XML files
3069
for additional drivers) all printers will have the best driver
3070
of the current system as preferred driver.

3101
3102
* foomatic-configure: When one uses the -P option with a printer
3103
and a driver to obtain the datablob of this combo, one can also
3104
supply a queue to apply the default options of that queue to the
3105
datablob of the chosen combo. This can be used when one wants to
3106
change the driver used for a queue with the help of a
3107
frontend. The obtained datablob can be used to generate the
3108
option dialog in this situation.
3109
3110
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: The option and choice value arrays are
3111
sorted now (by a standard option list, by the "normalizename"
3112
function which is already used for printer names on the web
3113
site, and alphabatically/case-insensitive), so in XPDQ, KUPS,
3114
QtCUPS, XPP, the upcoming new printerdrake (Mandrake 8.1), and
3115
other frontends the options and choices will appear sorted.
3116

* foomatic-configure: Added the possibility to copy/clone queues,
3120
now queues can be transferred to another spooler conserving all
3121
settings, including the default option settings. Restructured
3122
all queue query functions, now they can also generate complete
3123
Perl datablobs with all option default settings (even settings
3124
which XPDQ has written into /etc/pdq/printrc or which KUPS has
3125
written into the PPD files) and all queue settings as the
3126
connection URI, description, location, ... (in the new
3127
'queuedata' field). This facility can be used by graphical
3128
frontends. Now foomatic-configure also supports to be called
3129
unser different names and to load the default spooler choice
3130
from a file.

3133
3134
* foomatic-configure: Restructured all queue setup functions, now
3135
it is possible with all the spoolers to modify queues by only
3136
supplying the items which are changed on the foomatic-configure
3137
command line. One can even delete the description or location
3138
entries or switch from a queue with driver to a raw
3139
queue. Default settings for options do not get lost when one
3140
changes the driver and the new driver has options with the same
3141
name. Also option settings done with the "native" tools of CUPS
3142
and PDQ do not get lost on any kind of manipulation done with
3143
foomatic-configure. Extra Perl datablob files removed to avoid
3144
problems with maintaining redundant data repositories. Datablobs
3145
are now in the main config files (they were already there for
3146
CUPS and LPD/LPRng, for PDQ they are addad now. Output of
3147
datablobs for frontends will be done by a special command line
3148
option. The query functions are cleaned up now.
3149
3150
* lib/Foomatic/DB.pm: Added Perl datablob to the PDQ datafiles,
3151
added a line break to the end of all "die" and "warn" messages
3152

* foomatic-configure: XML-Combo data in /etc/foomatic is gzipped
3160
now (compression factor 10), Perl datablobs with the
3161
user-supplied default option settings are stored in
3162
/etc/foomatic, too (gzip factor 8). They serve for frontends to
3163
get the available options and make it easier to transfer the
3164
queues without loss of option settings.
3165
Setup function for LPD/LPRng restructured, it allows modifying a
3166
queue only supplying the information which changes on the
3167
foomatic-configure command line. One can even change the driver
3168
and all default settings of options with the same name in the
3169
old and the new driver are conserved.

getpdqdata(): PostScript/PJL options were not prepended to the
3296
job data/the GhostScript output, let the choice names be
3297
<option>_<choice> and not only <choice>, because in PDQ one
3298
provides only the choice name and not the option name and the
3299
choice name on the command line. So options with the same choice
3300
names (as "Duplex" and "Manualfeed" on the LaserJet 4050 with
3301
"ljet4" driver, which have both "On" and "Off" as choices) are
3302
ambiguous, added "docs" option to print documentation page with
3303
PDQ, fixed boolean options, they were broken. Text file printout
3304

3324
3325
* cupsomatic: Parsing of options embedded in the document
3326
fixed. For accessing the value of an enumerated option $avalue
3327
instead of $value was used, so the values read into $value were
3328
not inserted into the option list. Search the first 1000 lines
3329
for options because after polling the PJL options from a printer
3330
or with a PostScript printer with many features in its PPD file
3331
the 100 lines can easily be exceeded.
3332
3333
* lpdomatic/cupsomatic (common part): The support of PJL option is
3334
marked by the existence of the "pjl" key in the Perl data set of
3335
the printer/driver combo. So "if (defined($dat->{'pjl'}))" and
3336
not "if ($dat->{'pjl'})" has to be asked to check PJL support.

* PJL options can be added to the Foomatic data now:
3382
foomatic-getpjloptions retrives them from the printer,
3383
foomatic-addpjloptions generates XML datasets from them.
3384

3386
3387
* Various renaming has happened. Instead of 'PHTDBPUB', it's
3388
Foomatic::DB. Foomatic::Defaults exports the libdir et al into
3389
you, and the flock of companion modules represent other mostly
3390
internal code.
3391
3392
* Rearranged all the code; now there's a proper Perl module, in
3393
theory at least, in Foomatic/, and the toplevel Makefile
3394
supports this. There's also 'make testing', for a run-in-place
3395
setup.
3396
3397
2001-03-14 Grant Taylor <gtaylor@linuxprinting.org>
3398
3399
* Minor updates to reflect website postgres->xml conversion.
3400
3401
2001-03-10 Grant Taylor <gtaylor@linuxprinting.org>
3402
3403
* Added section="??" attribuge to arg_postscript. Now it's clear
3404
where the Postscript snippets should be placed in the document.
3405
OTOH, the filters haven't even absorbed Crutcher's DocumentSetup
3406
patch, nevermind support for other locations. And JCL still
3407
isn't handled. Or ppd constraints. Or queries. Etc.
3408
3409
* Fixed Till's bug wrt empty options being left out. Also fixed a
3410
few other subtle bugs in ppd parser and foo option generator.
3411
3412
* Small updates to Makefile; it might work again. Note that it
3413
modifies the scripts in place before installing, which will
3414
cause confusion if you attempt further work in place.
3415
3416
* Added foomatic-kitload, which imports source data subsets into
3417
the local data library.
3418
3419
2001-03-07 Grant Taylor <gtaylor@linuxprinting.org>
3420
3421
* Various additional checks and things when doing combo ops in
3422
hopes of avoiding horribly mysterious error messages.
3423
3424
* Implemented foomatic-ppdload. It might even work(tm).
3425
3426
2001-03-06 Grant Taylor <gtaylor@linuxprinting.org>
3427
3428
* Made dump_db strip out illegal constraints, and implemented
3429
comments filtering. Only <p> and <a> are allowed now. <br> is
3430
mapped into <p>.
3431
3432
* New snap of Postgres database
3433
3434
* Make install should(tm) now do something sensible. It still
3435
ought to autodetect "flavor" for foomatic-configure.
3436
3437
* Rename make-datafile to foomatic-datafile.
3438
3439
* Wrap f-c -Q output in <queues> to make it have one toplevel
3440
entity.
3441
3442
2001-03-04 Grant Taylor <gtaylor@linuxprinting.org>
3443
3444
* Removed constraints entirely from combo data. So arg_defval now
3445
appears at /option/arg_defval instead of at
3446
/option/constraints/constraint/arg_defval.
3447
3448
* Switch verified tag to an unverified tag. Eventually, the xml
3449
dataset will be defined as containing only verified information,
3450
so this way there's one less tag for maintainers to fiddle with.
3451
3452
* Prepare for CVS integration.
3453
3454
* Various minor twiddles around the website programs.
3455
3456
* args_byname twiddle for Till.
3457
3458
* Include all the backends in the package.
3459
3460
2001-02-28 Grant Taylor <gtaylor@linuxprinting.org>
3461
3462
* Require Storable
3463
3464
* Added printer autodetect sections to overview. Use xpath or
3465
similar to see the values in /printer/autodetect/parallel
3466
3467
* -Q in foomatic-configure; prints XML summary of system printer
3468
configuration. -X and -O allow examination of the whole
3469
database. f-c API should now be sufficient to build GUIs atop.
3470
3471
* compile_db changes to limit pain of Perl memory leaks.
3472
3473
* Added the pcache, a persistent pre-parsed cache of everything.
3474
3475
* Various buglets from Till. Invalid constraints just warn, don't
3476
hose the whole option. Etc.
3477
3478
* Add foomatic-configure; initial LPD support.
3479
3480
* Various typos and minor fixes; the overview compile/save was
3481
broken, and the overview Perl was missing the driver list.
3482
3483
* Begin beta3.
3484
3485
2001-02-25 Grant Taylor <gtaylor@linuxprinting.org>
3486
3487
* Added methods get_makes, get_javascript2, get_models_by_make,
3488
get_printer_from_make_model.
3489
3490
* Added overview support. Various methods now return or use the
3491
overview infromation; the overview is just a summary listing of
3492
various database-wide info. By using it, many operations are
3493
less horribly slow. The overview is db/compiled/overview.xml
3494
3495
* Don't actually need XML::Grove::PerlSAX.
3496
3497
* Added -f clag to compile_db, and extra work avoidance code.
3498
3499
* Fixed variable naming bug in pdq generator, and fixed boolean
3500
option conversion in getdat.
3501
3502
2001-02-25 Grant Taylor <gtaylor@habanero.picante.com>
3503
3504
* Included an experimental dataset from the new data generation
3505
code I've written for gimp-print. The driver "stp-4.1.5" might
3506
even work(tm).
3507
3508
2001-02-20 Grant Taylor <gtaylor@habanero.picante.com>
3509
3510
* Subtle adjustments to <constraint> contents. The <sense>
3511
element is gone; replaced with the sense="true" or sense="false"
3512
attribute on the <constraint> tag itself. Also, you can now
3513
specify a <printer>printer-id</printer> element instead of
3514
make/model; this is useful for automatically generated data.
