* debian/local/filters/pdf-filters/addtocups: Make the addition of the
  pdftopdf and pdftoopvp directories also work with CUPS 1.5.x.
* debian/local/filters/pdf-filters/addtocups,

Subject: EPSON Firewire Printer Driver for Linux
10
 
 
11
 
Currently, no Firewire printer support exists for Linux.  Since
12
 
the latest EPSON printer products depend on the Firewire
13
 
interface to print at full speed, a solution is needed to
14
 
support customers using Linux as their server platform.
15
 
 
16
 
The Linux Firewire subsystem provides a user-mode driver
17
 
interface that allows driver programs to access Firewire
18
 
devices.  Easy Software Products will utilize this interface to
19
 
develop a "backend" program for the Common UNIX Printing System
20
 
that will allow users to print to EPSON printers using the
21
 
Firewire interface.
22
 
 
23
 
After examining the Linux interface, we estimate that it will
24
 
require approximately 30 hours of development time to write,
25
 
test, and document the Firewire backend, for a total cost of
26
 
$3,000. The new backend will become a standard part of the CUPS
27
 
software distribution and will be included with at least the
28
 
following Linux distributions:
29
 
 
30
 
    - Caldera Linux
31
 
    - Mandrake Linux
32
 
    - Red Hat Linux
33
 
    - SuSE Linux
34
 
 
35
 
ESP will provide EPSON with binaries for Red Hat Linux 7.2.
