- Fixed setting up printers with pre-made Foomatic PPD in

2005-10-31T12:32:37+00:00

  /usr/share/cups/model (bug #19524).

old perl_checker compliance

2005-10-20T16:09:49+00:00

- Let parallel HP printers be set up with HPLIP.

2005-09-28T12:37:49+00:00

- Removed HPOJ support (HPOJ obsolete, now completely replaced by HPLIP).
- Warn the user if an HP printer is connected via a port which is not
  supported by HPLIP.
- Fixed printerdrake freezing when choosing a machine as remote CUPS
  server (for daemon-less client) which does not exist or does not run
  CUPS.
- Let network printer detection also work if the DNS is misconfigured.
- Let "Printer options" entry in printer editing menu only disapppear
  if there are really no options (entry disappeared also for Sagem
  MF3625 with empty manufacturer name in the PPD).
- Fixed raw queue being shown with "driver: PPD" and not "driver: raw".
- Do not use "Unknown model" and "Unknown Model", this somtimes broke
  identifying a print queue as being for an unknown printer.
- Do not die if /usr/share/hplip/data/xml/models.xml (HPLIP printer
  database) is missing, this allows creation of live distros without
  HPLIP.
- Fixed loop of determining the HPLIP device URI for local printers in
  the "printer::main::start_hplip()" function.

- Do not auto-install "sane-frontends" for MF devices.

- On USB printer hot-plugging sometimes parallel printers are also

2005-09-17T12:29:23+00:00

  shown in the window popping up to ask whether the printer should be
  set up. Even sometimes parallel printers which are not connected or
  turned on any more were shown. Fixed.

- Adapted file names to check for to the changes on the HPIJ 0.91-8mdk

2005-09-16T11:00:37+00:00

  packages.

- Made configuring of auto queue setup mode also during installation

2005-09-12T13:13:31+00:00

  (some $::prefix were missing).

- Another 64-bit fix in printerdrake. Now setup of HP's multi-function

2005-09-07T15:18:39+00:00

  printers really works on 64-bit boxes.

- Give also access to the CUPS auto administration dialog during

2005-09-07T09:31:30+00:00

  installation.
