OpenPrinting printer support - Compressed PPDs derived from the database
Foomatic is a printing system designed to make it easier to set up
common printers for use with Debian (and other operating systems).
It provides the "glue" between a print spooler (like CUPS or lpr) and
your actual printer, by telling your computer how to process files
sent to the printer.
.
This package contains all PPD files which can be generated from the Foomatic
database as one small compressed archive. This reduces the disk space
consumption compared to the Foomatic XML database vastly and in addition
makes listing of all available PPDs and extracting the needed PPD much faster
than using the Foomatic XML database.

Changes: foomatic-db (20110127-1) experimental; urgency=low
.
* New 20110127 upstream release
.
* Merge back from Ubuntu natty:
[ Till Kamppeter ]
- Merged openprinting-ppds and openprinting-ppds-extra.
- Introduced new binary package foomatic-db-compressed-ppds, a 600K
compressed archive of all Foomatic-generated PPDs, replacing 18M of
Foomatic XML data.
- Suggest also printer drivers which are in Ubuntu Universe, let
foomatic-db-compressed-ppds require CUPS, as the compressed archive is
not of much use without CUPS.
[ Didier Raboud ]
- Use the external pyppd.
.
[ Didier Raboud ]
* Add line-breaks to fields in debian/control for better change-
following.
* debian/rules: Don't fail on non-applicable fixes.
* Update package relationships.
* Get rid of pre-stable versioned conflicts against hp-ppd.
* Document the transitional "Provides"
* Make -compressed-ppds provide foomatic-db too.
* Document foomatic-filters.
* Add misc:Depends to -extra.
* Add python Depends to packages containing pyppd archives.
* Bump Standards to 3.9.1 without changes needed.
* Use my @d.o address.
.
foomatic-db (20101217-0ubuntu2) natty; urgency=low
.
* debian/control: Versioned conflict of openprinting-ppds-extra with
openprinting-ppds. Otherwise openprinting-ppds-extra is not installable.
.
foomatic-db (20101217-0ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low
.
* New upstream release
- Added new PostScript printers and PPDs from Epson and Brother.
- Added database entries for the PPDs of Epson's Japanese market
printers.
- Corrected the translation lines of Lexmark's PostScript PPDs to
comply with the specs.
- Renamed printers from Epson and Sharp so that their names match
the names in the manufacturer-supplied PPD files.
- Forced the "eplaser" and "eplaser-jp" drivers to feed Ghostscript
only with PostScript input as these drivers have problems with PDF.
- Added documentation for job parameter entities in Foomatic PPD files
to the README file.
- Fixed default PageSize choice of "necp2xX.upp" driver.
.
foomatic-db (20100915-0ubuntu4) maverick; urgency=low
.
* debian/local/pyppd/pyppd/ppd.py: Fixed PPD file list generated by the
compressed PPD file archive for the PostScript PPDs. The artificial
device IDs generated for PPDs without *1284DeviceID: entry lead to wrong
assumptions when system-config-printer selects the driver for a detected
printer (LP: #653814).
.
foomatic-db (20100915-0ubuntu3) maverick; urgency=low
.
* debian/local/pyppd/pyppd/: Updated to pyppd 0.4.9, to suppress runtime
error tracebacks by putting a "try: ... except ...: pass" construct around
the main function call. This avoids Apport pop-ups when the execution of the
self-extracting compressed PPD file archives gets stopped by the calling
process (LP: #618017).
.
foomatic-db (20100915-0ubuntu2) maverick; urgency=low
.
* debian/local/pyppd/pyppd/ppd.py, debian/local/pyppd/pyppd/pyppd-ppdfile.in:
Let the compressed PPD archives not contain duplicate PPD URIs, even if the
lines reference the same PPD. Most printer setup tools cannot cope with
duplicate PPD URIs.
.
foomatic-db (20100915-0ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low
.
* New upstream release
- Update of all Ricoh and OEM PPD files by Ricoh, to introduce CMD:
fields in the PPD's device IDs so that printer setup tools can select
the PPDs by page description language (PCL or PostScript).
.
foomatic-db (20100910-0ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low
.
* New upstream release
- Renamed the printers Toshiba GL-1010 and GL-1020 so that their
names match the names in the manufacturer-supplied PPD files.
.
foomatic-db (20100906-0ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low
.
* New upstream release
- Added Brother MFC-7840N/W printers (LP: #560518).
- Added PCL driver support for all Sharp printers which were listed as
only working via PostScript. For these printers PostScript is also
an optional add-on and therefore one should be able to also set them
up in PCL mode. The PCL mode will also be the recommended driver
to assure that automatic setup of the printer works also if it has
no PostScript module (LP: #378475).
* debian/patches/hl-2170w-pcl5e.patch: Removed patch with upstream fixes.
.
foomatic-db (20100806-0ubuntu7) maverick; urgency=low
.
* debian/patches/hl-2170w-pcl5e.patch: Changed drivers for the Brother
HL-2170W, the printer works only in the PCL-5e mode, not with PCL-XL
(LP: #570027).
* debian/control, debian/rules, debian/foomatic-db-compressed-ppds.postinst:
Introduced the binary package foomatic-db-compressed-ppds. This package
contains all PPDs which can be generated from the Foomatic XML database
in one compressed pyppd archive. This takes much less disk space than the
XML database (600 kB vs. 18 MB) and access (listing all PPDs, extracting
the needed PPD) is also significantly faster.
.
foomatic-db (20100806-0ubuntu6) maverick; urgency=low
.
* debian/control, debian/rules, debian/openprinting-ppds-extra.install,
debian/openprinting-ppds-extra.postinst, debian/openprinting-ppds.install:
Merged the binary packages openprinting-ppds and openprinting-ppds-extra.
The splitting was formerly introduced to save space on the Ubuntu Desktop
CD. The new PPD compression saves much more space and allows to put the
PPDs from openprinting-ppds-extra back onto the CD. So now the splitting
does nothing more than making maintenance of this package more complicated.
.
foomatic-db (20100806-0ubuntu5) maverick; urgency=low
.
* debian/control: Added build and runtime dependencies for the PPD archiving
and extracting.
* debian/rules: Let build process error out if PPD archiving errors out.
.
foomatic-db (20100806-0ubuntu4) maverick; urgency=low
.
* debian/local/pyppd/pyppd/ppd.py: The PPD compressor did not parse the
PPD correctly and confused ShortNickName and NickName, ending up with
the PPD listing showing the ShortNickName entries and therefore being
incompatible with the old uncompressed PPDs.
* debian/foomatic-db.links, debian/foomatic-db.dirs: Removed, the directory
/usr/share/ppd/openprinting and the link to
/usr/share/foomatic/db/source/PPD are not needed any more as there are no
physical PPD files in the package.
.
foomatic-db (20100806-0ubuntu3) maverick; urgency=low
.
* debian/local/pyppd/, debian/rules, debian/control: Compressed all physical
PPD files of the openprinting-ppds and openprinting-ppds-extra packages
into archive files reducing the disk space occupation by a factor of 10,
freeing several tens of megabytes on the Ubuntu Desktop CDs (or on any live
CD based on Debian or a derivative distribution). The archives are self-
extracting and located in /usr/lib/cups/driver/, so that CUPS automatically
extracts the PPD files. Thank you very much to Vitor Baptista who developed
this great PPD compressor in the Google Summer of Code 2010.
* debian/openprinting-ppds.postinst, debian/openprinting-ppds-extra.postinst:
Updated auto updater for the PPDs of the already existing print queues to
work with the new PPD archives.
.
foomatic-db (20100806-0ubuntu2) maverick; urgency=low
.
* debian/openprinting-ppds.install, debian/openprinting-ppds-extra.install:
Corrected paths: PPDs should be in /usr/share/ppd/openprinting/, not
in /usr/share/ppd/postscript/. Once, these PPDs come from OpenPrinting and
there could be packages with PostScript PPDs from other sources, and
second, some of the PPDs provided by the openprinting-ppds-extra package
are PCL-XL PPDs.
* debian/dirs: Letting a package create the empty directory /usr/share does
not make sense, as every package has files in /usr/share/doc. Removed.
* debian/foomatic-db.dirs: Let the foomatic-db package create the directory
/usr/share/ppd/openprinting, as foomatic-db provides a link to it.
.
foomatic-db (20100806-0ubuntu1) maverick; urgency=low
.
* New upstream release
