* debian/patches/40_improve_ppd_driver_selection.patch: Improved the
automatic selection of the preferred printer driver/PPD file. This is
especially important for the non-interactive automatic printer setup
via hal-cups-utils.
One important change (besides driver type priority changes) is that
now both PPDs assigned via IEEE-1284 device ID and PPDs assigned by
simple make/model matching are treated in the same level. With this
HP's PostScript PPDs (do not contain device IDs) can be preferred
against HP's HPIJS (PCL 5c/e) PPDs.
Improvements:
o HP PostScript printers are set up with HP's PostScript PPDs and
not with the HPIJS PPDs (PCL 5c/e).
o The HP LaserJet 1022 is now set up with "foo2zjs" as recommended
by OpenPrinting, not with HPIJS. Als other HP printers where a
non-HPIJS driver is recommended are set up correctly now.
o Samsung SPL2 printers are set up with SpliX and not with the "gdi"
(SPL1) driver now.
o The recognition of drivers which came with CUPS is adapted to
Ubuntu Linux now.
o There was no distinction between the full-feature and simplified
Gutenprint drivers of the CUPS raster type.
