CUPS Driver Development Kit 1.2.0
Created at 13:35 Jul 13, 2007 by mike, last modified at 13:56 Jul 13, 2007
Version 1.2.0 of the Common UNIX Printing System Driver Development Kit is now available for download from the CUPS web site at:
http://www.cups.org/ddk/software.php
The new release fixes several localization issues and adds support for many more languages.
The CUPS Driver Development Kit (DDK) provides a suite of standard drivers, a PPD file compiler, and other utilities that can be used to develop printer drivers for CUPS and other printing environments. CUPS provides a portable printing layer for UNIX®-based operating systems. The CUPS DDK provides the means for mass-producing PPD files and drivers/filters for CUPS-based printer drivers.
The CUPS DDK is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2.
Changes include:
- The DDK is now owned and licensed by Apple Inc.
- Added many new and updated message catalogs for the default localization strings.
- The ppdc utility did not generate localized PageSize, InputSlot, or MediaType options.
- The ppdpo utility incorrectly included the copyright text in the .po file.
- The ppdc utility incorrectly included two copies of the <font.defs> file.
- The ppdc utility did not allow you to override the cupsVersion attribute.
- The ppdmerge utility now recognizes "Korean" as a LanguageVersion.
- The ppdmerge utility incorrectly used "cn" for the Chinese locale.
