Comment 1 for bug 192948

FEATURE FREEZE EXCEPTION REQUEST

I have created an Ubuntu package of the current snapshot of the foo2zjs printer driver suite.

Reason for this update is that a wide variety of new printer models gets supported:

* HP LaserJet M1005 MFP, M1120 MFP
* Lexmark C500n,
* Oki C3200n, C3300, C3400n, C5100n, C5200n, C5500n, C5600n, C5800n

Otherwise some minor bug fixes were done.

The support for the new models is done by adding new filters and PPDs, so already supported models should continue working. Printers used with other drivers (HPLIP, Gutenprint, PostScript, ...) will under no circumstances get affected by the update of foo2zjs.

Testing:

Build: Tested with up-to-date pbuilder -> Builds correctly. No missing Build dependencies.

Install/Update: Installed with "dkg -i" on completely updated Hardy -> Updated the already installed old version of foo2zjs correctly

Usage: I do not have any of the newly supported models, so I cannot test any of the new drivers. I have done a test with the HP LaserJet 1020 (which was already supported by the previous Ubuntu package) and it continues to work correctly (both firmware upload and printing).

Néstor Amigo Cairo, please check whether this package makes your Oki printer working.

Anyone else reading this who has one of the printer models supported by the foo2zjs printer driver suite, please test your printer. If you have already a print queue for your printer, create an additional, new queue, so that your test also covers the new PPD files.

I have posted the source package itself, the *source.changes, the debdiff, the diffstat of the debdiff, the pbuilder log, and the install log here:
