- Configurable cache to specify the time in
  seconds during which input forms' content will be cached.
  This allows people to avoid retyping their username and
  password, or any other data, for each print job.

- Doesn't display the Quit menu anymore if not allowed.

- Doesn't display the ugly traceback anymore when the client
  disconnects before the server has sent the answer back
  (e.g. when using pknotify --timeout).

* The distribution method is now identical to PyKota's : Subversion access is available for no fee to all, but people are invited to purchase yearly subscriptions to Official Tea4CUPS packages.
* Pre and Post hooks, which are respectively launched before and after  the print job has been sent to the real backend (if any).
* Prehooks can decide to entirely cancel the print job if needed (easy versatile print quotas for example).
* Original CUPS backend's exit code is available in posthooks.
* prehooks, posthooks and tees are now launched in alphabetical order.

CUPS provides a portable printing layer for UNIX®-based
operating systems. It has been developed by
Easy Software Products to
promote a standard printing solution for all UNIX vendors and
users. CUPS provides the System V and Berkeley command-line
interfaces.

CUPS uses the Internet Printing Protocol ("IPP") as the basis
for managing print jobs and queues. The Line Printer Daemon
("LPD") Server Message Block ("SMB"), and AppSocket (a.k.a.
JetDirect) protocols are also supported with reduced
functionality. CUPS adds network printer browsing and PostScript
Printer Description ("PPD") based printing options to support
real-world printing under UNIX.

CUPS includes an image file RIP that supports printing of image
files to non-PostScript printers.  A customized version of GNU
Ghostscript 7.07 for CUPS called ESP Ghostscript is available
separately to support printing of PostScript files within the
CUPS driver framework.  Sample drivers for Dymo, EPSON, HP, and
OKIDATA printers are included that use these filters.

Drivers for thousands of printers are provided with our ESP
Print Pro software, available at:

http://www.easysw.com/printpro/

CUPS is licensed under the GNU General Public License and GNU
Library General Public License.  Please contact
Easy Software Products for
commercial support and "binary distribution" rights.

Changes in CUPS v1.1.21:

- The scheduler did not separate Digest authentication
 	parameters with commas (Issue #882)

- Fixed some problems with image printing to custom page
 	sizes (Issue #891)

- Removed the remaining scheduler code that did not use
 	the "close-on-exec" file descriptor flag to speed up
 	program invocations (Issue #890)

- The "lpr -r" command removed the print file even if it
 	was not printed. It now only removes the file if the
 	job is successfully created (Issue #886)

- Revamped the custom page size orientation fix
 	(Issue #127)

- The lp, lpq, lpr, and lpstat commands now report when
 	an environment variable is pointing to a non-existent
 	printer instead of just saying "no default
 	destination" (Issue #879)

- Queue names with 2 periods (e.g. "printer..2") were
 	not supported (Issue #866)

In accordance with the CUPS Configuration Management Plan,
you now have until Monday, September 6th to test this release
candidate to determine if there are any high-priority problems
and report them using the Software Trouble Report form at:

    http://www.cups.org/str.php

Reports sent to the CUPS newsgroups or mailing lists are not
automatically entered into the trouble report database and will
not influence the final production release of 1.1.21, so it is
very important that you report any problems you identify using
the form.

CUPS 1.1.21 is primarily a bug fix and performance tuning
release and includes fixes for the IPP, LPD, parallel, serial,
and USB backends, authentication and status processing issues in
the CUPS API, and various PostScript and PDF printing issues.
The new release also adds support for Zebra label printers and
IPP device URI options.

Changes in CUPS v1.1.21rc2:

- The scheduler used a select() timeout of INT_MAX
 	seconds when there was nothing to do, which doesn't
 	work on IRIX (Issue #864)

- Updated the cupsaddsmb program to use the new Windows
 	2000 PostScript drivers instead of the Windows NT
 	printer drivers (Issue #390)

- The gziptoany filter did not produce copies for raw
 	print jobs (Issue #808)

- The cupsLangGet() function now uses nl_langinfo(),
 	when available, to get the current encoding (Issue #856)

- Added a ReloadTimeout directive to control how long
 	the scheduler waits for jobs to complete before
 	restarting the scheduler (Issue #861)

- Added a note to the default cupsd.conf file which
 	mentions that you must allow connections from
 	localhost for the command-line and web interfaces to
 	work (Issue #850)

- The IPP backend incorrectly used the local port when
 	communicating with a remote server; this caused
 	problems with some custom configurations (Issue #852)

- The cups-lpd mini-daemon wasn't using the right
 	default banner option (Issue #851)

- Updated the new httpDecode64_2() and httpEncode64_2()
 	functions to handle arbitrary binary data, not just
 	text (Issue #860)

- String options with quotes in their values were not
 	quoted properly by the scheduler (Issue #839)

- Configure script changes for GNU/Hurd (Issue #838)

- The lppasswd program was not installed properly by GNU
 	install when the installer was not root (Issue #836)

- Updated the cups-lpd man page (Issue #843)

- Fixed a typo in the cupsd man page (Issue #833)

- The USB backend now defaults to using the newer
 	/dev/usb/lpN filenames; this helps on systems which
 	use the devfs filesystem type on Linux (Issue #818)

- The config.h file did not define the HAVE_USERSEC_H
 	constant when the configure script detected the
 	usersec.h header file. This caused authentication
 	errors on AIX (Issue #832)

- The lp and lpr commands now report the temporary
 	filename and error if they are unable to create a
 	temporary file (Issue #812)

- Added ServerTokens directive to control the Server
 	header in HTTP responses (Issue #792)

- Added new httpDecode64_2(), httpEncode64_2(), and
 	httpSeparate2() functions which offer buffer size
 	arguments (Issue #797)

- The cupsGetFile() and cupsPutFile() code did not
 	support CDSA or GNUTLS (Issue #794)

- The httpSeparate() function did not decode all
 	character escapes (Issue #795)

- The cupstestppd program now checks for invalid Duplex
 	option choices and fails PPD files that use
 	non-standard values (Issue #791)

- Updated the printer name error message to indicate
 	that spaces are not allowed (Issue #675)

- The scheduler didn't handle HTTP GET form data
 	properly (Issue #744)

- The pstops filter now makes sure that the prolog code
 	is sent before the setup code (Issue #776)

- The pstops filter now handles print files that
 	incorrectly start @PJL commands without a language
 	escape (Issue #734)

- Miscellaneous build fixes for NetBSD (Issue #788)

- Added support for quoted system group names (Issue #784)

- Added "version" option to IPP backend to workaround
 	serious bug in Linksys's IPP implementation (Issue #767)

- Added Spanish translation of web interface (Issue #772,
 	Issue #802)

- The LPD backend now uses geteuid() instead of getuid()
 	when it is available (Issue #752)

- The IPP backend did not report the printer state if
 	the wait option was set to "no" (Issue #761)

- The printer state was not updated for "STATE: foo,bar"
 	messages (Issue #745)

- Added new CUPS API convenience functions which accept
 	a HTTP connection to eliminate extra username/password
 	prompts. This resolves a previous authentication
 	caching issue (Issue #729, Issue #743)

- The scheduler did not correctly throttle the browse
 	broadcasts, resulting in missing printers on client
 	machines (Issue #754)

- The scheduler did not pass the correct CUPS_ENCRYPTION
 	setting to CGI programs which caused problems on
 	systems which used non-standard encryption settings
 	(Issue #773)

- The lpq command showed 11st, 12nd, and 13rd instead of
 	11th, 12th, and 13th for the rank (Issue #769)

- "make install" didn't work on some platforms due to an
 	error in the man page makefiles (Issue #775)

- Changed some calls to snprintf() in the scheduler to
 	SetStringf() (Issue #740)

you now have until Thursday, June 10th to test this release
candidate to determine if there are any high-priority problems
and report them using the Software Trouble Report form at:

    http://www.cups.org/str.php

Reports sent to the CUPS newsgroups or mailing lists are not

and USB backends, authentication and status processing issues in
the CUPS API, and various PostScript and PDF printing issues.
The new release also adds support for Zebra label printers and
IPP device URI options.

Changes in CUPS v1.1.21rc1:

- Fixed some "type-punned" warnings produced by GCC when
 	-fstrict-aliasing is specified (Issue #679)

- The PDF filter incorrectly calculated the bounding box
 	of a page (Issue #682)

- The IPP backend did not use SSL when printing over a
 	port other than 443 (Issue #730)

- The scheduler could crash when processing a Limit or
 	LimitExcept directive (Issue #728)

- The lpq, lpr, and lp commands did not differentiate
 	between the server being unresponsive and the lack of
 	a default printer (Issue #728)

- The PAM checks in the configure script did not stop
 	after the first match (Issue #728)

- The cups-config man page was incorrectly placed in
 	section 3 (Issue #728)

- The cupstestppd utility did not show a warning message
 	when a PPD file indicated BCP protocol support with
 	PJL (Issue #720)

- The scheduler did not return the correct exit code
 	when startup failed (Issue #718)

- The cupsRasterReadPixels() function checked for
 	EAGAIN, which caused problems on FreeBSD (Issue #723)

- The cupsGetDests() function did not use the current
 	encryption setting (Issue #653)

- The scheduler did not properly parse name-based
 	BrowseRelay directives in the cupsd.conf file (STR
 	#711)

- The IPP backend now supports the following options in
 	the device URI: encryption, waitjob, and waitprinter
 	(Issue #699)

- The parallel, serial, socket, and USB backends did not
 	return a non-zero exit status when a job failed to
 	print in the middle of sending it (Issue #715)

- Location directives in the cupsd.conf file were
 	case-sensitive for printer and class names, so
 	queue-specific access control was not reliable (STR
 	#700)

- cupsDoFileRequest() did not handle HTTP continue
 	status messages in all cases, causing sporatic
 	problems with IPP printers from some vendors (STR
 	#716)

- The rastertodymo driver now supports the Zebra ZPL
 	language (Issue #713)

- The test suite no longer generates a printcap file,
 	which caused problems when testing as the root user
 	(Issue #693)

- The scheduler now updates the accepting state of an
 	implicit class based upon the accepting state of its
 	member printers (Issue #697)

- The pstops filter didn't properly skip leading PJL
 	commands (Issue #664)

- The reinterpret_cast keyword was not highlighted when
 	printing C/C++ source files in prettyprint mode (STR
 	#694)

- Fixed a segfault problem with some of the client
 	programs (Issue #668)

- When using RunAsUser, the scheduler did not correctly
 	set the ownership of the log files, preventing log
 	file rotation (Issue #686)

- The image filters did not correctly load 1-bit PNG
 	files (Issue #687)

- The pdftops filter did not show all annotation objects
 	in a PDF file (Issue #674)

- The pdftops filter did not print the contents of
 	textual form elements, making it impossible to print a
 	filled-in form (Issue #663)

- Integrated the MacOS X/Darwin USB backend into the
 	CUPS baseline (Issue #661)

- The USB backend incorrectly reported "media tray
 	empty" (Issue #660)

- The scheduler did not use a case-insensitive
 	comparison when checking for group membership, which
 	caused problems with Win9x clients printing via SAMBA
 	(Issue #647)

- The scheduler did not report the addresses associated
 	with certain network errors, making troubleshooting
 	difficult (Issue #648, #649)

- The cupstestppd program did not allow a default choice
 	of "Unknown" as required by the PPD spec (Issue #651)

- The select() buffers are now allocated to be at least
 	as large as sizeof(fd_set) (Issue #639)

- The LPD backend now supports overriding the print job
 	username via the device URI (Issue #631)

- The scheduler did not handle an unknown MIME type when
 	checking for a CGI script (Issue #603)

- Added a timeout optimization to the scheduler's main
 	loop to allow CUPS to sleep more of the time (STR
 	#629)

- The USB backend now retries printing to devices of the
 	form "usb://make/model" if any USB port shows up as
 	"busy" (Issue #617)

- The httpGetHostByName() function did not range check
 	IP address values (Issue #608)

- The httpUpdate() function could return HTTP_ERROR
 	instead of the HTTP status if the server closed the
 	connection before the client received the whole
 	response (Issue #611)

- The LPD mini-daemon did not allow the administrator to
 	force banner pages on (Issue #605)

- Added PAM support for Darwin/MacOS X (Issue #550)

- The web interface now provides a "Set As Default"
 	button to set the default printer or class on a server
 	(Issue #577)

- The HTTP authentication cache was broken (Issue #517)

- The cupstestppd utility now fails PPD files that have
 	a DefaultOption keyword for a non-existance option
 	name (Issue #476)

- Optimized the scanning of new PPD files on scheduler
 	startup (Issue #424)

- The EPM list file did not include the bin, lib, or
 	sbin directories (Issue #598)

- The web interface did not redirect administration
 	tasks to the primary server for a class or printer
 	(Issue #491, Issue #652)

- The cups-lpd mini-daemon did not reject print jobs to
 	queues that were rejecting new print jobs (Issue #515)

- Some calls to the ctype functions did not account for
 	platforms that use a signed char type by default (STR
 	#518)

- The scheduler could use excess amounts of CPU if a CGI
 	program was sending data faster than the client could
 	take it (Issue #595)

- Updated the Ghostscript 8.x integration stuff (STR
 	#484)

- The lpd backend used a source port of 732 by default,
 	which is outside of the range defined by RFC 1179;
 	also added a new (default) "reserve=any" option for
 	any priviledged port from 1 to 1023 (Issue #474)

- The scheduler did not check for a valid Listen/Port
 	configuration (Issue #499)

- The cupsPrintFiles() function did not always set the
 	last IPP error message (Issue #538)

- The pstops filter did not write the PostScript header
 	line if the file began with a PJL escape sequence (STR
 	#574)

 	not be opened in order to make troubleshooting easier
 	(Issue #565)

- cupsGetJobs() now returns -1 on error (Issue #569)

- Added localization for Belarusian (Issue #575)

- The LPD backend used the full length of the hostname
 	when creating the data and control filenames, which
 	causes problems with older systems that can't handle
 	long filenames (Issue #560)

- The scheduler did not refresh the common printer data
 	after a fast reload; this prevented banner and other
 	information from being updated (Issue #562)

- The scheduler did not send common or history data to

 	translation strings that exceeded the maximum allowed
 	size (Issue #454)

 	not handle EAGAIN and EINTR properly (Issue #473)

- RequiresPageRegion should not be consulted for Manual
 	Feed (Issue #514)

- International characters were not substituted in
 	banner files properly (Issue #468)

- Updated pdftops to Xpdf 2.03 code to fix printing bugs
 	(Issue #470)

- The Digest authentication code did not include the
 	(required) "uri" attribute in the Authorization
 	response, preventing interoperation with Apache
 	(Issue #408)

- The web interface could lockup when displaying certain
 	URLs (Issue #459)

- The PostScript filters now convert underscores ("_")
 	to spaces for custom classification names (Issue #555)

    http://www.cups.org/str.php

Reports sent to the CUPS newsgroups or mailing lists are not
automatically entered into the trouble report database and will
not influence the final production release of 1.1.20, so it is
very important that you report any problems you identify using
the form.

CUPS 1.1.20 is primarily a bug fix and performance tuning
release and includes fixes for 64-bit platforms, deadlock
problems in the signal handling code, PDF printing issues, web
interface issues, and various operating system-specific issues.
The new release also adds new CUPS API functions for reading and
writing files via HTTP, performing authentication, and
controlling the required PPD conformance level.

Changes in CUPS v1.1.20rc6:

	"lp -i jobid -H restart" would often return an error
	even though the job restarted successfully (Issue #362)

The scheduler did not check for invalid allow/deny
	addresses such as "11.22.33.44/24". It now masks off
	the extra address bits and logs a warning message in
	the error_log file (Issue #337)

The cupstestppd utility now checks for missing
	ImageableArea and PaperDimension attributes for each
	defined PageSize (Issue #365)

The IPP code did not wait for a reply indefinitely on
	HTTP connections in "blocking" mode (Issue #377)

The web interfaces did not rewrite the default printer
	URI properly (Issue #369 and #299)

The LPD backend passed the C and L commands in the
	wrong order (Issue #378)

The Dymo label printer driver did not set the label
	length properly (Issue #373)

The scheduler did not support job IDs higher than
	99999 (Issue #371)

The Visual C++ project files did not work (Issue #366)

The scheduler's cupsLangSeek() function did not reset
	the "EOF" flag, preventing compressed files from being
	typed properly in some cases (Issue #368)

The cupsLangGet() cache was only used if the locale
	name provided an explicit character set name (STR
	#354)

The CUPS API convenience functions did not call
	cupsLangFree() when they were done with the
	localization data (Issue #354)

The scheduler did not return the
	job-hold-until-supported or job-hold-until-default
	attributes (Issue #356)

The cupsaddsmb program did not support the new CUPS
	driver for Windows (Issue #357)

	in the operation group to the job group (Issue #335)

The cupsDoFileRequest() function did not check for an
	early HTTP response while sending the file (Issue #314)

The web interfaces did not quote #, ?, or . in printer
	names, which caused some problems with the generated
	URLs (Issue #320)

CUPS couldn't be completely compiled with the -dDEBUG
	option (Issue #331)

    http://www.cups.org/ghostscript.php

The 7.07.1 release updates the core Ghostscript to 7.07 and

Changes in CUPS v1.1.20rc2:

	The serial backend set the IXANY option on the port
	for XON/XOFF flow control; this caused problems with
	printers that returned status info but were not ready
	for more print data (Issue #287)

The scheduler didn't support scripted index files
	(index.php, index.pl, etc. - Issue #290)

The scheduler did not correctly localize script files
	with "GET" variables (Issue #268)

Changes in job classification are now logged (STR
	#289)

Fixed a few more SLP-related bugs (Issue #259)

Updated the user/group configure checks for MacOS X
	10.3 (Issue #270)

Fixed an offset bug in the PDF filter (Issue #284)

The cupsDoRequest() and cupsDoFileRequest() functions
	did not map several HTTP status codes to their IPP
	counterparts. This made detecting certain conditions
	very difficult (Issue #277)

Config, spool, and status files are now owned by the
	scheduler user (usually root) with read permission for
	the filter group (Issue #283)

The HP-GL/2 filter did not support the SI command,
	some values for the AD and SD commands, and did not
	rotate labels properly via the DI command (Issue #282)

The fax support did not update/set the job-hold-until
	attribute when a fax job fails (Issue #269)

The cupsLangGet() function didn't support locales of
	the form "ll.charset" (Issue #271)

The scheduler did not use the charset when getting the
	language localization for a request; this caused extra
	disk IO for every request (Issue #271)

The scheduler did not support requests with more than
	one language specified (Issue #267)

The new release also adds new CUPS API functions for reading and
writing files via HTTP, performing authentication, and
controlling the required PPD conformance level.

Changes in CUPS v1.1.20rc1:

	The scheduler now waits up to 60 seconds before
	restarting to allow active jobs to complete printing
	and pending requests to be processed (Issue #226)

The web interface did not work on systems where time_t
	is 64 bits (Issue #262)

Added backend tweeks and content-length check from Red
	Hat (Issue #253)

The USB backend now uses the 8255 constants instead of
	the standard constants when reporting printer status
	bits on Linux (Issue #254)

Added new cupsDoAuthentication(), cupsGetFd(),
	cupsGetFile(), cupsPutFd(), and cupsPutFile() functions
	to the CUPS API (Issue #112)

The PDF filter always scaled and offset pages; this
	caused problems under MacOS X, so now the "fitplot"
	option controls whether PDF files are scaled to fit
	within the printable area of the page (Issue #250)

The LPD backend did not support the port number in a
	URI (Issue #247)

Some filters didn't properly support boolean options
	(Issue #249)

Landscape PDF files were not always offset by the
	correct amount when rotating (Issue #243)

The scheduler could hang in a call to localtime() when
	logging messages from the signal handler (Issue #242)

The PDF filter no longer prints form widgets; this
	duplicates the behavior of Acrobat Reader (Issue #241)

cupsGetPPD() didn't handle a late termination of a
	HTTP connection with the server (Issue #220)

ppdOpen() did not correctly check for "*PPD-Adobe-4."
	on the first line of a PPD file. This caused incorrect
	PASS results for some PPD files (Issue #233)

cupsEncodeOptions() did not allow boolean options to
	use "yes" and "on" for true values (Issue #227)

The pstops filter only sent the TBCP exit sequence if
	it was defined in the JCLEnd attribute in the PPD file
	(Issue #224)

Support for more than 1024 files was broken on Solaris
	9 (Issue #217)

The setgroups() calls now pass in 1 group (the
	configured group) instead of 0 for compatibility with
	BSD and Darwin (Issue #213)

The scheduler's built-in broadcast throttling was
	ineffective since incoming packets would cause the
	next group of outgoing packets to be sent immediately
	rather than waiting for the next time slot (Issue #211)

Added a new ppdSetConformance() function to set the
	conformance requirements for PPD files. Currently only
	two levels are defined, PPD_CONFORM_RELAXED and
	PPD_CONFORM_STRICT, and the default is the relaxed
	level (Issue #212)

The IPP backend did not correctly execute the
	pictwpstops filter on OSX (Issue #210)

The LPD backend did not set the banner class when the
	"banner=yes" option was specified in the device URI
	(Issue #209)

The imagetoraster filter did not support all of the
	page device attributes (Issue #208)

The pdftops filter incorrectly auto-rotated pages when
	the user already had specified the proper orientation
	(Issue #207)

Fixed AIX shared library support (Issue #201)

Added support for live testing with Valgrind (STR
	#193)

The CGI programs now collect the list of needed
	attributes for the class, job, and printer template
	files (Issue #192)

The scheduler now passes the first port that is bound
	to the local loopback or "any" addresses to the CGI
	programs rather than the port that the browser
	connected to (Issue #103)

The cupstestppd program now checks for bad
	JobPatchFile attributes and incorrect versions of the
	Manufacturer attribute for HP printers (Issue #155)

The filter makefile incorrectly installed
	libcupsimage.a in the filter directory (Issue #180)

The scheduler did not verify that the job history
	files define the job-priority and
	job-originating-user-name attributes (Issue #178)

The pstops filter didn't handle poorly-formed binary
	PostScript files that had CTRL-D's in them (Issue #156)

The ppdOpen*() and cupsLangGet() functions did not
	make a copy of the old locale strings when using the
	POSIX locale when reading files, which apparently
	caused problems with some implementations of the
	standard C library. (Issue #159)

The pdftops filter did not work properly with some
	embedded Type1C fonts (Issue #177)

Updated the pdftops filter to be based upon Xpdf
	2.02pl1 (Issue #191)

The scheduler did not reset the group list when
	running CGI and filter processes (Issue #185)

The scheduler no longer calls malloc and free from the
	signal handlers (Issue #190)

The USB backend now uses the manufacturer and model
	strings if the description string is not available
	(Issue #174)

The ppdOpen functions still supported the
	VariablePaperSize attribute, which was removed in v4.0
	of the PPD spec.  This caused problems with PPD files
	that relocated the PageSize option to a non-standard
	group (Issue #158)

The cups.list file referenced MAN1EXT, MAN3EXT, and
	MAN5EXT, but none of those were actually defined (STR
	#147)

Chunked requests could cause a Denial of Service if
	the connection is terminated before the first byte of
	chunk data is sent/received (Issue #143)

Printers with special characters in their names were
	not accessible from the web interface (Issue #120)

The lpstat command now shows the correct interface
	script or PPD file, if any, for a print queue (Issue #89)

The lpstat command now shows the printer-state-message
	and printer-state-reasons attributes whenever they are
	not blank (Issue #152)

The French and German option-conflict.tmpl template
	files did not get installed (Issue #148)

The cups.list.in file did not work when compiling
	without shared libraries (Issue #149)

The DSOFLAGS included the LDFLAGS, which causes
	problems on at least HP-UX (Issue #150)

The fax printer support did not keep track of the fax
	capability bit (Issue #144)

The appleLangDefault() function could leak a small
	amount of memory (Issue #145)

The ppdOpen() functions now mirror all normal
	attributes to the attribute list; previously only
	certain unassigned attributes would be added (STR
	#139)

The ppdEmitJCL() function wrote JCL commands to stdout
	instead of the passed file pointer (Issue #142)

The httpGets() function could, in certain states,
	block waiting for data (Issue #132)

The cupsEmitJCL() function not outputs an empty @PJL
	command after the PJL language escape to work around
	bugs in certain PJL implementations (Issue #131)

The cupsEmit*() functions didn't set the orientation
	value properly (Issue #127)

The cups.spec file didn't list the rc2.d init
	directory or the cupstestppd file (Issue #134)

Reports sent to the ESP Print Pro newsgroups or mailing lists
are not automatically entered into the trouble report database
and will not influence the final production release of 4.4, so
it is very important that you report any problems you identify
using the form.

ESP Print Pro 4.4 is based on CUPS 1.1.19 and adds support for
MacOS X 10.2.x and client support for Windows NT 4.0, Windows
2000, and Windows XP. The new release also adds drivers for
several new EPSON and Lexmark printers and supports printing of
binary PostScript files to most printers.

Note for all users: The 4.4 release has increased the
conformance requirements for PPD files in order to improve
software stability and may not work with existing installed PPD
files.  The "cupstestppd" utility can be used to manually
diagnose and fix PPD files in the /etc/cups/ppd directory, or
you can use the "Modify" action in the printer manager to
install updated PPD files for your printers. We apologize for any
inconvenience this may cause.

Reports sent to the CUPS newsgroups or mailing lists are not
automatically entered into the trouble report database and will
not influence the final production release of 1.1.19, so it is
very important that you report any problems you identify using
the form.

CUPS 1.1.19 adds support for fast reconfiguration, option
retension and defaulting when adding and modifying printers,
binary PostScript printing, fax device features, custom web
applications via CGI, PHP, Java, and Python, and simple
scripting support for Java, Perl, and PHP.  The new release also
contains bug fixes including the LPD printing and Solaris signal
handling bugs.

Changes in CUPS v1.1.19rc5:

	Jobs with banner pages that were printed to implicit
	classes would get double banner pages for each
	file/banner in the job (Issue #68)

The mime.convs file was missing the filter definition
	for Windows BMP (image/x-bitmap) files (Issue #85)

The scheduler allowed some READ-ONLY job attributes to
	be set, which could cause the scheduler to fail on the
	next restart (Issue #82)

The lp and lpr commands did not report when the
	scheduler was not responding; instead, the user would
	incorrectly see a "no default destination" error (STR
	#70)

cupsLangGet() could fail on OSX due to a corrupt
	language preference (Issue #78)

Added more checks for HTTP request timeouts.

The scheduler dropped the first non-alpha character
	after an open brace when doing attribute substitutions
	in banner pages (Issue #77)

The scheduler child might send SIGUSR1 to the parent
	before the signal handler was installed; this didn't
	prevent the scheduler from starting but produced an
	annoying error message (Issue #45)

Reports sent to the ESP Print Pro newsgroups or mailing lists
are not automatically entered into the trouble report database
and will not influence the final production release of 4.4, so
it is very important that you report any problems you identify
using the form.

ESP Print Pro 4.4 is based on CUPS 1.1.19 and adds support for
MacOS X 10.2.x and client support for Windows NT 4.0, Windows
2000, and Windows XP. The new release also adds drivers for
several new EPSON and Lexmark printers and supports printing of
binary PostScript files to most printers.

Note for all users: The 4.4 release has increased the
conformance requirements for PPD files in order to improve
software stability and may not work with existing installed PPD
files.  The "cupstestppd" utility can be used to manually
diagnose and fix PPD files in the /etc/cups/ppd directory, or
you can use the "Modify" action in the printer manager to
install updated PPD files for your printers. We apologize for any
inconvenience this may cause.

CUPS 1.1.19 adds support for fast reconfiguration, option
retension and defaulting when adding and modifying printers,
binary PostScript printing, fax device features, custom web
applications via CGI, PHP, Java, and Python, and simple
scripting support for Java, Perl, and PHP.  The new release also
contains bug fixes including the LPD printing and Solaris signal
handling bugs.

Changes in CUPS v1.1.19rc4:

	The lp command did not accept "-" for printing from
	the standard input as required by POSIX 1003.1 (STR
	#59)

Added the job-originating-host-name information for
	the page_log file documentation in the SAM (Issue #31)

The German web interface templates did not use the
	right paths for job operations (Issue #54)

The scheduler would consume all available CPU if
	started with a pending job in the queue (Issue #35)

The polling daemon allocated an extra localization
	buffer but did not free it, causing cups-polld to
	eventually use all available memory (Issue #40)

Changes in CUPS v1.1.19rc3:

	The scheduler could get in an infinite loop cancelling
	jobs using "cancel -u user dest" (Issue #48)

The "cancel -u user" command did nothing (it should
	cancel all jobs on all printers owned by the named
	user - Issue #48)

The scheduler would write 0-length job control files
	(Issue #46)

Updated the French man pages (translation provided by
	Gilles QUERRET)

The scheduler would delete all printers from
	printers.conf if a job was active when a HUP signal
	was handled (Issue #47)

The cups-polld program would leak memory if it was
	unable to send browse packets to the loopback
	interface (Issue #40)

The scheduler did not put the
	job-originating-host-name attribute in the job
	attributes group.

The text filter did not default to wrapping text as
	defined by the IPP implementation document.

Scan backends first, PPDs second (Issue #37)

Updated the Netatalk documentation in the SAM (Issue #38
	and #39)

The test suite sent text files to a non-PS print queue,
	which requires ESP Ghostscript (provided separately).
	Now send the JPEG test file (Issue #33)

The test suite did not show the estimated disk space
	requirements (Issue #33)

The test suite did not set the MaxLogSize directive to
	0 to prevent log file rotation (Issue #33)

The test suite still setup the old CUPS Ghostscript
	symlinks (Issue #33)

The pstops filter did not report the correct number of
	copies for the page_log file when printing collated
	copies to a printer that doesn't support them in
	hardware (Issue #32)

cupsLangGet() needs to set the CTYPE locale to "C"
	(POSIX) to avoid erroneous tolower/toupper values (fix
	suggested by Bjoern Jacke)

Fixed a typo in the cups.list.in file.

Updated all of the Western European locales to default
	to ISO-8859-15 (for Euro support, suggested by Bjoern
	Jacke)

Updated the German message catalog (update provided by
	Bjoern Jacke)

    http://www.cups.org/software.html

In accordance with the CUPS Configuration Management Plan,
you now have until Friday, May 2nd to test this release
candidate to determine if there are any high-priority problems
and report them using the Software Trouble Report form at:

    http://www.cups.org/str.php

Reports sent to the CUPS newsgroups or mailing lists are not
automatically entered into the trouble report database and will
not influence the final production release of 1.1.19, so it is
very important that you report any problems you identify using

binary PostScript printing, fax device features, custom web
applications via CGI, PHP, Java, and Python, and simple
scripting support for Java, Perl, and PHP.  The new release also
contains bug fixes including the LPD printing and Solaris signal
handling bugs.

Changes in CUPS v1.1.19rc2:

	cupsLangGet() now sets the encoding field based on the
	trailing charset in the locale name, and doesn't look
	for a message catalog in a specific locale.charset
	directory.  This fixes Issue #26 and is more in line
	with the CUPS 1.2 implementation.

The configure script now aborts if the "ar" command or
	compilers cannot be found.

The static cupsimage library was not built by default.

The path for the "ln" command was hardcoded in
	Makedefs.in instead of being checked at configure time
	(Issue #28).

Banner pages containing unescaped { characters would
	not work.

The printer-state-time collection attribute was
	encoded as an enumeration instead of an integer.

The printer-is-accepting-jobs collection attribute was
	was not added to the collection value.

The printer-state-sequence-number collection attribute
	was not added to the collection value.

Fixed typo and const mismatch in IPP backend.

Updated the man pages for the new configuration
	directives.

Updated the SAM for MacOS 10.2, the CUPS drivers for
	windows, the available LPD backend options, and the
	new configuration directives.

The imagetops filter didn't position images properly
	on the page (Issue #18)

The configure script didn't add CPPFLAGS to the
	compiler options or LDFLAGS to the DSO options (STR
	#13)

The scheduler would try to write a debug log message
	when starting a job that contained a NULL string. 
	Since not all versions of snprintf() support NULL
	string pointers this caused some problems (Issue #20)

The testipp program now supports reading of IPP
	message files such as those used for the job history
	in /var/spool/cups.

    http://www.cups.org/software.html

In accordance with the CUPS Configuration Management Plan, you
now have a minimum of two weeks to test this release candidate
to determine if there are any high-priority problems and report
them using the Software Trouble Report form at:

    http://www.cups.org/str.php

Reports sent to the CUPS newsgroups or mailing lists are not
automatically entered into the trouble report database and will
not influence the final production release of 1.1.19, so it is
very important that you report any problems you identify using
the form.

CUPS 1.1.19 adds support for fast reconfiguration, option
retension and defaulting when adding and modifying printers,
binary PostScript printing, fax device features, custom web
applications via CGI, PHP, Java, and Python, and simple
scripting support for Java, Perl, and PHP.  The new release also
contains bug fixes including the LPD printing and Solaris signal
handling bugs.

Changes in CUPS v1.1.19rc1:

	Added CUPS support files for Java, Perl, and PHP
	(located in the "scripting" subdirectory...)

The scheduler now supports fast-reloads of the
	cupsd.conf file when it is updated via HTTP.

The scheduler always changed the ownership of log
	files; it now only does so if they are not in the /dev
	directory (i.e. don't want to change the ownership and
	permissions of /dev/null...)

Added libpaper support (patch from Jeff Licquia)

Added a new istring() rule for MIME types files that
	does a case-insensitive comparison of strings.

The cups-lpd mini-daemon now sends jobs to the default
	queue when an empty queue name (or "lp" and there is
	no "lp" queue) is sent.

The scheduler now supports fax queues identified by a
	"*cupsFax: True" attribute in the PPD file. When a job
	can't be sent, it is held for 5 minutes by default
	while other jobs are attempted.  The FaxRetryLimit and
	FaxRetryInterval directives control the number of
	retries and the time between retries.

The scheduler now preserves the default options of PPD
	files when modifying/upgrading an existing PPD file.
	When installing a new printer, the scheduler sets the
	default media size to Letter or A4 as appropriate for
	your locale.

The scheduler no longer limits the number of
	BrowseAddress, BrowsePoll, BrowseRelay, Listen, Port,
	SSLListen, and SSLPort directives to 10.

The scheduler now supports print files that have been
	compressed using gzip.

The scheduler used the stdio functions to read any job
	ticket information in a PostScript print job. Since
	some platforms limit the number of stdio files to 256,
	job ticket information was ignored when the server had
	a large number of clients connected to the system.

Filters and backends may now report the total number
	of pages ("PAGE: total NNN") to the scheduler.

The LPD backend now supports timeout and
	sanitize_title options (default to 300 and yes,
	respectively) and has some additional changes to
	reduce the chances of multiple copies being printed
	when only one copy was requested.

Fixed a polygon drawing bug in the HP-GL/2 filter.

Added a robots.txt file to the standard install to
	prevent search engines from indexing the CUPS server.

Added support for STATE: messages
	(printer-state-reasons), printer-state-history, and
	printer-state-time to the scheduler.

When using RunAsUser, the scheduler would initially
	start any previously queued (pending) jobs with
	RunAsUser disabled 
all backends would be running as
	root.

If a backend failed for a printer, CUPS would
	incorrectly requeue the job for printing again.

Added support for IPP collections and files.

Added experimental support for generic CGI scripts
	and programs, Java, Perl, PHP, and Python to the
	scheduler. See the file "CGI.txt" for more information.

The CUPS API now supports HTTP cookies and the Expect:
	field.

The cancel command now correctly supports the "-u
	user" option to cancel all jobs for the named user.

The Purge-Jobs operation now supports the my-jobs
	boolean attribute and a new purge-jobs boolean
	attribute to control whether job history data is
	purged from the scheduler; the default is false for
	my-jobs and true for purge-jobs to match the original
	implementation.

The scheduler would not timeout printers when only
	using SLP browsing.

If the scheduler was unable to execute a filter, it
	would try to restart the job indefinitely until the
	filter could be executed.

When writing BSD printcap files, the scheduler now
	includes the rm and rp attributes, allowing the file
	to be exported to LPD clients. [Patch from Dominic
	Kubla]

The scheduler optimization to reference IPP attribute
	data instead of performing a full copy caused problems
	when the referenced data was deleted before it was
	sent.  It now only references attributes that change
	only when the scheduler is restarted.  The change also
	reduced the memory footprint of a printer object to
	2k.

The scheduler now holds signals while logging messages
	to avoid potential deadlock issues when handling
	signals on Solaris 8.

The lpadmin command now allows printer access control
	by group name as well as user name.

"lpoptions -l" got in an infinite loop if no default
	printer was available.

The scheduler now logs the job-originating-host-name
	attribute in the page_log file, and uses "-" for any
	empty fields (patch from Dominik Kubla).

The pdftops filter now scales PDF pages within the
	printable area of the page.

The pstops filter didn't include the page-label and
	classification boxes when printing EPS or non-
	conformant PS files.

The imagetops filter didn't always correctly position
	the image on the page when printing in landscape
	orientation.

The ppdEmit() functions now support the
	RequiresPageRegion attribute when sending InputSlot
	and ManualFeed commands.

The PPD loading code now supports standard options
	outside of OpenUI/CloseUI as required by the PPD spec.

The cupstestppd program has been upgraded to provide a
	concise PASS/FAIL report, additional detailed
	conformance testing, and support for gzip'd PPD files.

The PPD loading code is now much more strict when
	loading a PPD file, and tracks more format errors.

The scheduler ignored child signals when gathering the
	list of available devices, when it should have been
	using the default signal handler.

The cupsEncodeOptions() function could encode an
	option with a NULL last string.

The socket backend could report the wrong number of
	backchannel bytes if an error occurred on the link.

The cups-polld program now only sleeps after getting
	all printers and classes.  This allows for longer
	intervals without excessive delays before classes show
	up...

Added a new httpWait() function to support waiting for
	data for a specific number of milliseconds.

httpGets() now times out after 1 second on
	non-blocking HTTP connections.

The scheduler no longer accepts rangeOfInteger values
	that are out of order (e.g. 5-1)

The sides attribute was incorrectly sent as a name
	value; it is a keyword value.

The IPP backend now detects if the destination queue
	has gone away and reports an error.

The scheduler and HTTP API now allocate their select()
	sets to support larger numbers of clients on systems
	that support it.

The scheduler now sets the CFProcessPath environment
	variable under MacOS X.

The cupsLangDefault() function now uses the
	CoreFoundation localization API under MacOS X.

The httpSeparate() function didn't handle file URIs of
	the form "file:///path" properly.

The lpadmin command now supports a "protocol" option
	for specifying the binary communications protocol to
	use when printing binary PostScript data.

The scheduler did not properly parse the SystemGroup
	directive, so only the first group would be used.

Revamped how strings are stored in the scheduler,
	providing a substantial improvement in memory usage
	for systems with large numbers of printers.

The PostScript filter now supports binary PostScript
	files and files beginning with the PJL language escape
	sequence.

The PPD API now provides additional information from
	the PPD file.

The USB backend didn't compile on Solaris Intel.

The cupstestppd utility now supports the "-q" option
	(quiet) for use in scripts, etc.

Merged several weight-reducing changes into the CUPS
	baseline donated by Apple.

Added preliminary support for CDSA; patch provided by
	Apple.

Implicit classes are now created from identical
	printer classes on the network.

The lp command now supports a "-H restart" option to
	restart previously printed jobs.  This functionality
	only works if you have enabled the PreserveJobFiles
	option.

The scheduler now supports URIs in HTTP request lines
	to conform to the HTTP/1.1 specification.

The time-at-xyz attributes were not recognized in
	banner files if prefixed by a question mark, e.g.
	"{?time-at-creation}".

Added support for pre-filtering application/pictwps
	files on MacOS clients before sending them to a server
	via IPP.

The scheduler now allows file:/dev/null device URIs
	even if FileDevices is set to No.

CUPS uses strerror() for hostname resolution errors,
	when it should have used hstrerror().

The USB backend no longer tries to guess the serial
	number of a device from the USB devices file; this
	means that printers that don't report their serial
	numbers in the device ID string will not be
	individually selectable.

The pstops filter didn't handle page ranges properly
	when a page contained an embedded document.

Added a translation of the web interface to German.

When printing using the OutputOrder=Reverse option
	with duplexing, the output order is now truly
	reversed; the order of sub-pages when printing N-up is
	the same.

The pstops filter did not always output the extra
	blank page when printing a document with an odd number
	of pages with duplexing enabled.

The ippAddXYZ functions no longer allow the
	application to add less than 1 value.

Fixed a URL rewrite bug in the web interface 
local
	access was sometimes redirected away from localhost...

The ppdOpen() functions could get in an infinite loop
	if the PPD file contained a keyword or text that was
	too large for the buffer.

Added preliminary support for GNU TLS; patch provided
	by Jeff Licquia.

Now timeout IPP attribute reads after 1 second inside
	an attribute definition.

Now timeout connections that have been shutdown (due
	to errors) after 30 seconds instead of the Timeout
	setting (300 seconds by default).  This provides
	faster recovery from DoS attacks.

A denial-of-service attack warning message was being
	written to the log files by the scheduler for every
	detection.  This caused a DoS of its own in some
	situations. The warning message is now written no more
	than once per minute.

Fixed the CIE colorspace support code in the image and
	PS RIPs.

The job-quota-period, job-page-limit, and job-k-limit
	attributes were not flagged as integers, so setting
	quotas would not work.

Added an additional response check in the scheduler to
	more quickly recover from denial-of-service attacks.

The cupstestppd file was incorrectly installed in the
	/usr/sbin directory instead of /usr/bin.

The EPM list file did not include the cupstestppd
	program or man page files.

rather than attempt to
 build this package from source, as using the installer is much
 simpler.  We further recommend that Macintosh OS X users install ESP
 GhostScript, to permit printing from Carbon applications (such as most
 Adobe applications) that generate PostScript rather than PDF output.
 Directions for that are also available at

    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3.

Please read the README file for full instructions on installing this
 package.

Gimp-Print 4.2.5-pre2 contains the following major changes over
 Gimp-Print 4.2.5-pre1:

If Foomatic 2.9.x is installed, the Foomatic data will be generated
    with additional features: Once the options are put into groups
    ("General", "PrintoutMode", "Adjustment") and a new "PrintoutMode" 
    option will be added, which lets the user choose pre-configurations
    for common printing tasks, but still adjust the individual options.
    If an older version of Foomatic is installed, the Foomatic data will
    stay as before.

CUPS provides a portable printing layer for UNIX®-based
operating systems. It has been developed by
Easy Software Products to
promote a standard printing solution for all UNIX vendors and
users. CUPS provides the System V and Berkeley command-line
interfaces.

CUPS uses the Internet Printing Protocol ("IPP") as the basis
for managing print jobs and queues. The Line Printer Daemon
("LPD") Server Message Block ("SMB"), and AppSocket (a.k.a.
JetDirect) protocols are also supported with reduced
functionality. CUPS adds network printer browsing and PostScript
Printer Description ("PPD") based printing options to support
real-world printing under UNIX.

CUPS includes an image file RIP that supports printing of image
files to non-PostScript printers.  A customized version of GNU
Ghostscript 7.05 for CUPS called ESP Ghostscript is available
separately to support printing of PostScript files within the
CUPS driver framework.  Sample drivers for Dymo, EPSON, HP, and
OKIDATA printers are included that use these filters.

Drivers for thousands of printers are provided with our ESP
Print Pro software, available at:
