List-Id: Printing architecture under linux List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , To: printing-foomatic@lists.linux-foundation.org, Open Printing , Printing-japan Foomatic 4.0.3 is released and now available for download [1]. This release fixes several bugs and drops the foomatic-db-hpijs package. As HPLIP ships CUPS-DDK-generated PPD files for some time and also added a CUPS Raster driver, we have decided to drop the foomatic-db-hpijs package as it is not maintained any more by HP and so the PPDs generated by it got out-of-date. PPDs for non-HP printers used with HPIJS are now generated by foomatic-db, via the driver entries "hpijs-pcl3", "hpijs-pcl5e", and "hpijs-pcl5c". For HP printers the new driver entry "hplip" was introduced to reference to the full HPLIP driver suite. The "hpijs" driver entry got dropped. Under the bug fixes are a fix to make foomatic-rip working with LPRng, letting foomatic-rip convert PDF to PostScript with Poppler instead of Ghostscript (if Poppler is installed), fixes on the JCL option handling of foomatic-rip, and fixes in the IEEE-1284 device IDs in the Foomatic-generated PPD files. Thanks to everyone who reported the bugs to us. Have a lot of fun with the new Foomatic release! Till [1]http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/Database/Foomatic
