Common UNIX Printing System 1.2.2

Created at 07:27 Jul 19, 2006 by mike, last modified at 08:03 Jul 19, 2006

CUPS 1.2.2 is now available for download from the CUPS web site at:

    http://www.cups.org/software.php

CUPS 1.2.2 fixes several build, platform, notification, and printing bugs. Changes include:

  • Documentation updates (STR #1765, STR #1780)
  • CUPS didn't know about alternate character set names for Asian text (STR #1819)
  • The lpoptions -o and -r options did not work unless you specified a printer.
  • The lpoptions command incorrectly allowed users to set printer attributes like printer-type (STR #1791)
  • httpWait() did not flush the write buffer, causing "bad request" errors when communicating with CUPS 1.1.x servers (STR #1717)
  • Polling did not sanitize the printer description, location, or make and model strings like broadcasts did.
  • Polled printers did not show the server's default job-sheets option value.
  • The Samba password prompt was not properly localized (STR #1814)
  • Added a German translation (STR #1842)
  • The scheduler now creates self-signed SSL certficates automatically when using OpenSSL and CDSA for encryption, just as for GNU TLS.
  • The SNMP backend sporatically reported some printers as "unknown" (STR #1774)
  • The scheduler now forces BrowseTimeout to be at least twice the BrowseInterval value and non-zero to avoid common configuration errors.
  • The scheduler incorrectly returned printer URIs of the form "ipp://server/printers/classname" for classes (STR #1813)
  • Updated Japanese localization (STR #1805)
  • The scheduler's SSL certificate/key directory was not created on installation (STR #1788)
  • Added a mailto.conf man page and help page (STR #1754)
  • The parallel and USB backends no longer wait for the printer to go on-line - this caused problems with certain printers that don't follow with the IEEE-1284 standard (STR #1738)
  • The scheduler could crash on a reload when implicit classes were present (STR #1828)
  • The IPP backend incorrectly used the CUPS_ENCRYPTION environment variable to determine the default encryption mode when printing (STR #1820)
  • USB printing did not work on Solaris (STR #1756)
  • The scheduler sorted job priorities in the wrong order (STR #1811)
  • The scheduler did not automatically restart notifiers that exited or crashed (STR #1793)
  • IPv6 support did not work on NetBSD (STR #1834)
  • The EPM packaging file did not work (STR #1804)
  • The scheduler used up the CPU if BrowseRemoteProtocols was empty (STR #1792)
  • Custom page sizes did not work (STR #1787)
  • The SNMP backend could crash on some systems when SNMP logging was enabled (STR #1789)
  • Browsing could produce some funny printer names when ServerName was set to an IP address (STR #1799)
  • Fixed the log message for BrowseRelay (STR #1798)
  • Fixes to allow CUPS to compile on MirBSD (STR #1796)
  • The scheduler incorrectly set the FINAL_CONTENT_TYPE environment variable (STR #1795)
  • The pdftops filter incorrectly embedded a "produced by" comment, causing PDF printing not to work on some operating systems (STR #1801)
  • Sending raw jobs from a client system could cause the client's scheduler to eventually crash (STR #1786)
  • The scheduler now checks that the notifier exists prior to accepting a new subscription request.
  • The scheduler now reports the supported notify-recipient schemes based on the contents of the ServerBin/notifier directory.
  • Event notifications did not include the notify-sequence-number or other required attributes (STR #1747)
  • Allow/Deny addresses of the form "11.22.33.*" did not work on Linux (STR #1769)
  • cupsGetPPD() did not work if the scheduler was only listening on a domain socket (STR #1766)
  • The scheduler could crash advertising a class (STR #1768)
  • The scheduler could crash if the default printer was deleted (STR #1776)
  • Added a new default CUPS raster format (v3) which does not compress the raster stream in order to provide the same cupsRasterReadPixels() and cupsRasterWritePixels() performance as CUPS 1.1.x.
  • The cupsaddsmb man page listed the wrong files for the CUPS driver.
  • Some configure --with options did not work (STR #1746)
  • "Allow @IF(name)" didn't work if "name" wasn't the first network interface (STR #1758)
  • The lpstat command did not use the correct character set when reporting the date and time (STR #1751)
  • The cupsaddsmb command and web interface did not update the Windows PPD files properly, resulting in corrupt PPD files for the Windows client to use (STR #1750)
  • The cupsd.conf man page didn't describe the Listen domain socket syntax (STR #1753)
  • The scheduler no longer tries to support more than FD_SETSIZE file descriptors.
  • CDSA (encryption) support fixes for MacOS X.
  • The lppasswd program needs to be setuid to root to create and update the /etc/cups/passwd.md5 file (STR #1735)
  • 32/64-bit library installation was broken (STR #1741)
  • The USB backend now reports a "no such device" error when using the old filename-based USB URIs instead of the "success" error.
  • Increased the HTTP and IPP read timeouts to 10 seconds, as 1 second was too short on congested networks (STR #1719)
  • The SNMP backend now uses the device description over the printer-make-and-model attribute when the attribute contains a generic name (STR #1728)
  • Fixed another file descriptor leak when printing raw files (STR #1736)
  • Raw queues were not shared via LDAP (STR #1739)
  • The pstops filter didn't always embed PageSetup commands from the PPD file (STR #1740)
  • "make install" didn't work if you disabled all of the localizations.
  • The scheduler didn't always choose the least costly filter.
  • Fixed parsing of IPv6 addresses in Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and BrowseRelay directives (STR #1713)
  • Printers that were shared via LDAP did not get added to the LDAP server properly (STR #1733)
  • LDAP browsing would crash the scheduler if a required value was missing (STR #1731)
  • Special cases for the "localhost" hostname did not work, causing printing to not work when the /etc/hosts file did not contain a localhost entry (STR #1723)
  • Updated the Spanish translation (STR #1720, STR #1770)
  • Reverse-order page output was broken when N-up or landscape orientations were used (STR #1725)
  • The parallel, serial, socket, and USB backends needed print data before they would report back-channel data, causing problems with several new drivers (STR #1724)
