HP Linux Imaging and Printing System (HPLIP) 2.8.2 Release

Asked by John Hosszu

HPLIP 2.8.2 - This release has the following changes:

Corrected the IPP printer-state error messages in hp.c as requested by Tim Waugh.
Fixed printmode mismatch warning for mono lasers.
Fixed segmentation fault resulting from buffer overflow in compression.cpp
HPIJS PPD files are now created with the CUPS DDK instead of the foomatic database. Dynamic PPD files are now supported via the hpijs.drv file. See the technical documentation for more information about drv support.
Added foomatic-rip-hplip support. Foomatic-rip-hplip is for distros that do not have the latest foomatic-rip which is required for drv support.
Added a new configure option for foomatic-rip-hplip. The following configure options are valid for the different types of PPD installs.
static ppd install with foomatic-rip-hplip
  --enable-foomatic-ppd-install [enable foomatic static ppd install, uses hpppdir]
  --with-hpppddir [destination for *-hpijs.ppd, *-ps.ppd and HP-Fax-hplip.ppd]
  --enable-foomatic-rip-hplip-install
dynamic ppd install with foomatic-rip-hplip
  --enable-foomatic-drv-install [enable foomatic dynamic ppd install, uses drvdir and hpppddir]
  --with-drvdir [destination for *.drv]
  --with-hpppddir [destination for *-ps.ppd and HP-Fax-hplip.ppd]
  --enable-foomatic-rip-hplip-install
dynamic ppd install with foomatic-rip
  --enable-foomatic-drv-install [enable foomatic dynamic ppd install, uses drvdir and hpppddir]
  --with-drvdir [destination for *.drv]
  --with-hpppddir [destination for *-ps.ppd and HP-Fax-hplip.ppd]
  --disable-foomatic-rip-hplip-install
Updated the krgb patch for gpl ghostscript 8.61. This patch added checks for null forward device in the graphic procedures. Corrected the "force banding" code in gsijs_open which was needed for small images (IE: hagaki in landscape).
Fixed defect (Error message "Print command fail with error 256" pops up when assign page range using comma.)
Fixed defect (Error message pops up when setup new device from toolbox by pressing the key "INSERT".)
Fixed defect (Running toolbox generates error: error: Invalid locale: de_DE.UTF-8.utf8)

Added a "ignore/continue" choice in the text installer in the RESTART OR RE-PLUG IS REQUIRED section for network installs.
Fixed defect (Hplip installion process hangs up at "PRINTER SETUP" if select no GUIs during custom installion.)
Updated the "hp" backend to return hplip supported devices only during device discovery. If the device is not in the models.dat file the "hp" backend will exclude this device from the discovery list.
Added -c and -r params to hp-check, removed -p param
Added new CUPS DDK dependencies to installers
Added drv_dir to installers
Added ppd_install=, ppd_dir=, and drv_dir= checks in installers

Enhanced distro detection in the installer (properly handles Ubuntu 7.10)
Fixed defect ([2.7.12] [Toolbox] installed w/o fax support causes traceback)
Added support for non-English "Password:" prompts in the installer
Added 'same_as_version' key to distros.dat
Fixed an issue in the text installer that would not allow a 'quit' if a running package manager was detected
