Change logs for foomatic-db source package in Natty

  • foomatic-db (20110317-0ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low
    
      * New upstream release
         - Added custom page size to the most-used PageSize option entries, so
           that most Foomatic-generated PPD files get the possibility to select
           a custom page size. We do this as we do not know the complete sets of
           possible page sizes for most printers and probably many actually allow
           custom page sizes by hardware (LP: #726397).

  • foomatic-db (20101217-0ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low
    
      * New upstream release
         - Added new PostScript printers and PPDs from Epson and Brother.
         - Added database entries for the PPDs of Epson's Japanese market
           printers.
         - Corrected the translation lines of Lexmark's PostScript PPDs to
           comply with the specs.
         - Renamed printers from Epson and Sharp so that their names match
           the names in the manufacturer-supplied PPD files.
         - Forced the "eplaser" and "eplaser-jp" drivers to feed Ghostscript
           only with PostScript input as these drivers have problems with PDF.
         - Added documentation for job parameter entities in Foomatic PPD files
           to the README file.
         - Fixed default PageSize choice of "necp2xX.upp" driver.

  • foomatic-db (20100915-0ubuntu4) maverick; urgency=low
    
      * debian/local/pyppd/pyppd/ppd.py: Fixed PPD file list generated by the
        compressed PPD file archive for the PostScript PPDs. The artificial
        device IDs generated for PPDs without *1284DeviceID: entry lead to wrong
        assumptions when system-config-printer selects the driver for a detected
        printer (LP: #653814).
