CUPS 1.2.1 fixes several build, platform, and printing bugs. Changes include:

• The web interface did not handle reloads properly for MSIE (Issue #1716)

• The configure script no longer adds linker rpath options when they are unnecessary.

• The scheduler could crash printing a debug message on Solaris (Issue #1714)

• The –enable-32bit and –enable-64bit configure options did not always work.

• The password prompt showed the domain socket address instead of “localhost” for local authentication (Issue #1706)

• The web interface filtered the list of printers even if the user wasn’t logged in (Issue #1700)

• The IPP backend did not work reliably with some Xerox printers (Issue #1704)

• Trailing banners were not added when printing a single file (Issue #1698)

• The web interface support programs crashed on Solaris (Issue #1699)

• cupstestppd incorrectly reported problems with *1284DeviceID attributes (Issue #1710)

• Browsing could get disabled after a restart (Issue #1670)

• Custom page sizes were not parsed properly (Issue #1709)

• The -U option wasn’t supported by lpadmin (Issue #1702)

• The -u option didn’t work with lpadmin (Issue #1703)

• The scheduler did not create non-blocking back-channel pipes, which caused problems when the printer driver did not read the back-channel data (Issue #1705)

• The scheduler no longer uses chunking in responses to clients - this caused problems with older versions of CUPS like 1.1.17 (PR #6143)

• Automatic raw printing was broken (Issue #1667)

• 6-up printing was broken (Issue #1697)

• The pstops filter did not disable CTRL-D processing on the printer/RIP.

• ppdOpen*() did not load custom options properly (Issue #1680)

• “Set Printer Options” in the web interface did not update the DefaultImageableArea or DefaultPaperDimension attributes in the PPD file (Issue #1689)

• Fixed compile errors (Issue #1682, Issue #1684, Issue #1685, Issue #1690)

• The lpstat command displayed the wrong error message for a missing destination (Issue #1683)

• Revised and completed the Polish translation (Issue #1669)

• Stopped jobs did not show up in the list of active jobs (Issue #1676)

• The configure script did not use the GNU TLS “libgnutls-config” script to find the proper compiler and linker options.

• The imagetoraster filter did not correctly generate several 1, 2, and 4-bit color modes.

• cupsRasterWritePixels() could lose track of the current output row.

• cupsRasterReadPixels() did not automatically swap 12/16-bit chunked pixel data.

• Moved the private _cups_raster_s structure out of the public header.

• Updated the CUPS raster format specification to include encoding rules and colorspace definitions.

• The Zebra PPD files had the wrong PostScript code for the “default” option choices.

• The imagetoraster filter did not generate correct CIE XYZ or Lab color data.

• The cups-config script did not work when invoked from a source directory (Issue #1673)

• The SNMP backend did not compile on systems that used the getifaddrs emulation functions (Issue #1668)
