Common UNIX Printing System 1.2.1

Created at 13:35 May 22, 2006 by mike, last modified at 13:39 May 22, 2006

CUPS 1.2.1 is now available for download from the CUPS web site at:

    http://www.cups.org/software.php

CUPS 1.2.1 fixes several build, platform, and printing bugs. Changes include:

• The web interface did not handle reloads properly for MSIE (STR #1716)
• The configure script no longer adds linker rpath options when they are unnecessary.
• The scheduler could crash printing a debug message on Solaris (STR #1714)
• The --enable-32bit and --enable-64bit configure options did not always work.
• The password prompt showed the domain socket address instead of "localhost" for local authentication (STR #1706)
• The web interface filtered the list of printers even if the user wasn't logged in (STR #1700)
• The IPP backend did not work reliably with some Xerox printers (STR #1704)
• Trailing banners were not added when printing a single file (STR #1698)
• The web interface support programs crashed on Solaris (STR #1699)
• cupstestppd incorrectly reported problems with *1284DeviceID attributes (STR #1710)
• Browsing could get disabled after a restart (STR #1670)
• Custom page sizes were not parsed properly (STR #1709)
• The -U option wasn't supported by lpadmin (STR #1702)
• The -u option didn't work with lpadmin (STR #1703)
• The scheduler did not create non-blocking back-channel pipes, which caused problems when the printer driver did not read the back-channel data (STR #1705)
• The scheduler no longer uses chunking in responses to clients - this caused problems with older versions of CUPS like 1.1.17 (PR #6143)
• Automatic raw printing was broken (STR #1667)
• 6-up printing was broken (STR #1697)
• The pstops filter did not disable CTRL-D processing on the printer/RIP.
• ppdOpen*() did not load custom options properly (STR #1680)
• "Set Printer Options" in the web interface did not update the DefaultImageableArea or DefaultPaperDimension attributes in the PPD file (STR #1689)
• Fixed compile errors (STR #1682, STR #1684, STR #1685, STR #1690)
• The lpstat command displayed the wrong error message for a missing destination (STR #1683)
• Revised and completed the Polish translation (STR #1669)
• Stopped jobs did not show up in the list of active jobs (STR #1676)
• The configure script did not use the GNU TLS "libgnutls-config" script to find the proper compiler and linker options.
• The imagetoraster filter did not correctly generate several 1, 2, and 4-bit color modes.
• cupsRasterWritePixels() could lose track of the current output row.
• cupsRasterReadPixels() did not automatically swap 12/16-bit chunked pixel data.
• Moved the private _cups_raster_s structure out of the public header.
• Updated the CUPS raster format specification to include encoding rules and colorspace definitions.
• The Zebra PPD files had the wrong PostScript code for the "default" option choices.
• The imagetoraster filter did not generate correct CIE XYZ or Lab color data.
• The cups-config script did not work when invoked from a source directory (STR #1673)
• The SNMP backend did not compile on systems that used the getifaddrs emulation functions (STR #1668)

I installed the latest cups 1.2.1 on Macintosh G4 OS 10.3.9. While my printers are present the OS will not allow me to set up to print. I receive the message 'server-error-service-unavailable". Any comments out there? Reply
