Common UNIX Printing System 1.2.12

Created at 14:08 Jul 12, 2007 by mike, last modified at 14:09 Jul 12, 2007

CUPS 1.2.12 is now available for download from the CUPS web site at:

    http://www.cups.org/software.php

CUPS 1.2.12 fixes several file typing issues, a bad error message in the scheduler, a web interface setting problem, and a bug in the PHP language binding. It also includes an updated Italian translation. Changes include:

• The PHP cups_print_file() function crashed if the options array contained non-string option values (STR #2430)
• The image/tiff file matching rule incorrectly identified some text files as TIFF files (STR #2431)
• The filter(7) man page incorrectly documented the "PAGE: total #-pages" message (STR #2427)
• PCL text files were mis-identified as HP-GL/2 and caused the HP-GL/2 filter to hang (STR #2423)
• When printing to a queue with user ACLs, the scheduler incorrectly returned a quota error instead of a "not allowed to print" error (STR #2409)
• cupsaddsmb could get in a loop if no printer drivers were installed (STR #2407)
• cupsRasterReadHeader() did not byte-swap the header properly when compiled with certain versions of GCC.
• The IPP backend did not send the document-format attribute for filtered jobs (STR #2411)
• Some PPD files could cause a crash in ppdOpen2 (STR #2408)
• The web admin interface incorrectly handled the "share printers" and "show remote printers" settings (STR #2393)
• The scheduler's log messages about AuthClass and AuthGroupName advised using a replacement directive but had the wrong syntax (STR #2400)
• Updated the PostScript/PJL and HP-GL/2 MIME rules to look in the first 4k of the file, not just the first 1k (STR #2386)
• Updated the Italian localization (STR #2382)

Just bought a Samsung ML 2510 laser printer. It is supposed to be able to adjust color density (black only), print portrait OR landscape, piece-print parts of a poster, etc. It does none of these on my G4 (OS X 3.9). Samsung tech's say these are known issues (they didn't tell me this when I bought it), problem is in the Mac drivers they say. I'm hesitant to install CUPS 1.2.12 due to warnings that I would need to reinstall the entire OS if I wanted to return to previous. Please offer suggestions on how to proceed from here! JayBee Reply
