CUPS 1.2.5 fixes minor printing, networking, and documentation issues and adds support for older versions of DBUS and a translation for Estonian. Changes include:

• Documentation updates (STR #2038)
• The SNMP backend no longer uses IPP for Epson printers (STR #2028)
• Updated the configure script for Tru64 UNIX 5.1 (STR #2033)
• Tru64 5.1B's getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo() functions leak file descriptors (STR #2034)
• cupsAddDest() didn't add the parent destination's options and attributes.
• ppdConflicts() did not handle custom option constraints.
• Raw printing of gzip'd files did not work (STR #2009)
• The scheduler no longer preserves default option choices when the new PPD no longer provides the old default choice (STR #1929)
• The Linux SCSI backend is now only built if the SCSI development headers are installed.

• Windows clients could not monitor the queue status (STR #2006)
• The scheduler didn't log the operation name in the access_log file for Create-Job and Print-Job requests.
• The PostScript filter now separates collated copies with any required JCL commands so that JCL-based finishing options act on the individual copies and not all of the copies as a single document.
• The PostScript filter now disables duplex printing when printing a 1-page document.
• cups-lpd didn't pass the correct job-originating-host-name value (STR #2023)

• Added an Estonian translation (STR #1957)
• Clarified the documentation for the cupsd.conf @LOCAL and @IF(name) allow/deny functionality (STR #1992)
• The PostScript filters did not escape the Title and For comments in the print job header (STR #1988)
• The scheduler would use 100% CPU if browsing was disabled and the cupsd.conf file contained BrowsePoll lines (STR #1994)
• The cupsDirRead() function did not work properly on non-POSIX-compliant systems (STR #2001)
• The cupsFile functions didn't handle read/write errors properly (STR #1996)
