HPLIP 1.6.6 - This release has the following changes. 1. HPLIP has reached 1.0 status. With this release we start using a new date encoded revision number.
x.y.m x = major release number y = year (ie: 6=2006) m = month (ie: 6=June) 2. Fixed broken links in HTML documentation (reported by Johannes Meixner). 3. Added DOT4Init retry in hpiod. This fixed a intermittent scanning problem with PS C3100. 4. Changed libsane-hpaio to display any received scan data after I/O timeout instead of aborting. 5. Fixed the File Types that can be directly added to the fax job could not be displayed accurately on Send Fax dialog. 6. Added 30sec retry and timeout to hpfax. 7. Added CUPS 1.2 compatible output to hpfax. 8. Added a core dump option to the hplip.sh script "/etc/init.d/hplip debug". 9. Removed DeviceOpen from hp backend. This fixes two problems 1) usblp will no longer be removed for device discovery 2) device discovery will no longer cause Inkjets to power-up. 10. Changed hp backend device discovery verbage in order to work better with CUPS 1.2 (Mandriva request). 11. Fixed status-types for 2006-09 devices (5 --> 2). 12. Fixed panel display for older OfficeJets that have VSTATUS. 13. Fixed no printers installed, run toolbox, install printer, toolbox produces error. 14. Updated hpfax to "No devices found" text and behavior. 15. Removed extraneous syslog message during parallel port ProbeDevice (Debian request). 16. Rewrite of toolbox refresh code. Should fix long running issue. 17. Fixed HP-Toolbox no activity after an hour causes toolbox to disconnect from all printers. 18. Fixed the Job ID for fax job should be displayed in Status tab of toolbox while starting fax send. 19. Added FreeBSD conditionals to hpiod. 20. Modified XML schema - status-type broken out into status-type, status-battery-check, and status-dynamic-counters. 21. Modified all XML files to comply with new schema and switched status-types as appropriate. 22. Made hplip_GetID more bullet proof in hplip_api.c. 23. Fixed invalid memory free in libsane-hpaio. Only occurred in the sane_hpaio_open abort path. 24. Changed 1284.4/MLC credit reply timeout from 2 to 4 seconds in hpiod. This fixed a problem with 1200dpi uncompressed scanning (ie: PS2575). 25. Removed support dialog (should have been removed in 0.9.11, was missed). 26. Changed Tools and Support pane to include "View Documentation" rather than "View Support" - opens online docs in browser like Help | Contents... 27. Added sane hpaio.desc file to documentation. 28. Changed library check in hp-check from 'libsnmp' to 'libnetsnmp' (issue reported on mailing list). This HPLIP package includes HPIJS 2.6.6 which has the following changes. 1. Starting with this release HPIJS will be using the same date encoded revision number as HPLIP. See item one above for details. 2. Fixed an auto duplex problem in HPIJS (issue reported by Red Hat). 3. Fixed gcc 4.1 compiler issues with HPIJS glue code (issue reported by Debian). 4. Added support for the following new printer(s). Deskjet D4100 series (DJ4100) Deskjet D2300 series (DJ3600) Deskjet D1360 series (DJ3320) Photosmart A430 series (DJGenericVIP) Photosmart A510 series (DJGenericVIP) Photosmart A710 series (PSP470) Photosmart A610 series (PSP470) Photosmart C4100 series (DJGenericVIP) Photosmart C3100 series (DJGenericVIP) Photosmart D7300 series (DJGenericVIP) 5. Updated the Ghostscript KRGB patch. The gdevijs-krgb-1.3-gs8.54.patch revisited the KRGB buffer overflow issue with out-of-band data in fill_rectangle and copy_mono. Changed the fill_rectangle and copy_mono to an inner loop buffer check instead of a outer loop x/y extent check. As requested by Ralph Giles, added K 1-bit and 8-bit support for KRGB, but only 1-bit is implemented for now. KRGB definition: 1. K=1-bit or 8-bit black plane, RGB=24 bit color raster. 2. K-plane will only contain objects that are black text and black line drawings. 3. RGB raster will not contain K-plane objects. 4. K resolution and RGB resolution will be equal. 5. K-plane will be byte aligned. 6. K-plane 1-bit definition; 1=black, 0=nothing (ColorSpace=KRGB). 7. K-plane 8-bit definition; 255=black, 0=nothing (ColorSpace=KxRGB). _______________________________________________ HPLIP-Devel mailing list HPLIP-Devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hplip-devel
