Hi,
I have released cups-filters 1.11.6 now, with the following changes:
- pdftops: Do not default to simply "pdftops" when calling the
Poppler pdftops utility, as the $PATH of CUPS when running
filters/backends starts with /usr/lib/cups/filter/ and then
pdftops would call itself (Bug #1380).
Changes of the 1.11.5 release:
- cups-browsed: Fixed several typos in the documentation (Bug
#1378).
- gstoraster, mupdftoraster, pdftops, sys5ippprinter: Use
execvp() and execvpe() to call programs so that the $PATH
environment variable gets used to find the programs (Bug
#1378).
- build system: Several fixes, especially to make it work when
cross-compiling or using a build server (Bug #1378).
- cups-browsed: Silenced a warning.
- cups-browsed: For remote CUPS queues with a dot in their
name no local queue got created (Bug #1379).
- pdftopdf: Do the page logging also for IPP Everywhere
printers which use the PWG Raster data format as the
...toraster filters being the last filter then do not log.
- gstoraster, pdftoraster: Let filters generate PWG Raster if
the environment variable FINAL_CONTENT_TYPE is set to
image/pwg-raster, make sure full-page bitmaps are generated
in PWG_raster mode, and added mime conversion rules for
direct PWG Raster output.
- cups-browsed: Corrected checking of the PDLs of an IPP network
printer. Now PCL 5c/e printers (not HP inkjets) should get
recognized correctly.
- texttopdf: Added missing NULL check to avoid a segfault when
texttopdf does not find a suitable (monospace TTF) font.
- foomatic-rip: Replace old manpage macro calls from
foomatic-filters 3.0.2-20050114.
- cups-browsed: Allow changing BrowseInterval and
BrowseTimeout via cups-browsed.conf, as it was formerly with
CUPS (Debian bug #794655).
- pdftopdf: Count the actual output pages also if the
number-up option is not used, to correctly find out whether
we have an even or odd number of pages, even if the
page-ranges option is used. This is needed to correctly
decide whether for duplex printing a blank page has to be
added (Bug #1377).
Changes of the 1.11.4 release:
- gstoraster: Allow Ghostscript to use the center-of-pixel
method instead of the PostScript-standard any-part-of-pixel
method when rendering filled paths. This improves the
graphics output quality of low-resolution printers like
label printers, for example to assure readability of bar
codes (Bug #1373).
- cups-browsed: Fixes to avoid unneeded calls of
handle_cups_queues() and even infinite loops (Possible fix
for bug #1376). Also make sure that queues left over from
the previous cups-browsed session are integrated correctly.
These changes fix several issues with IPP Everywhere printers and also
other bugs.
Please disconsider 1.11.5 and go straight to 1.11.6 as this release
contains an important fix.
I would appreciate if you could upload this to Debian soon so that I can
sync it into Ubuntu.
Till
