foomatic-db 20120212-1 source package in Ubuntu
Changelog
foomatic-db (20120212-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New upstream release.
- Added entries for new Epson, Ricoh, Infotec, Gestetner, Lanier, NRG, and
Savin printers
- Added "Resolution" option to "ibmpro" driver. Without specifying the
resolution the driver does not work (Closes: #554769).
- Assigned driver "ljetplus" instead of "ljet3" to the Panasonic
KX-P4450, as only "ljetplus" actually works (Closes: #350319).

Binary packages built by this source
- foomatic-db: OpenPrinting printer support - 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 the printer database distributed by
OpenPrinting for most common drivers. You will probably need
the foomatic-db-engine package for this package to be useful.
- foomatic-db-compressed-ppds: 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.
- openprinting-ppds: OpenPrinting printer support - PostScript PPD files
This package includes a collection of free PostScript Printer Description
files for PostScript (and clone) printers from various manufacturers, as
distributed by OpenPrinting.
.
If you have non-PostScript printers, the foomatic-db-compressed- ppds (or
foomatic-db and foomatic-db-engine) , hplip, gutenprint, splix, foo2zjs,
pxljr, min12xxw, and m2300w packages are the ones you need; this package
won't be of much help to you.
.
Some manufacturers distribute PPD files for their printers under
non-free licenses; those are not included in this package, but may be
available from the manufacturer's website, included on a CD or
other media with the printer, or downloadable from the OpenPrinting
web site (even automatically if the printer setup tool supports it).
- openprinting-ppds-extra: Transitional package
This dummy package is provided for a smooth transition from the previous
openprinting-ppds-extra package (the package's content is merged into
openprinting-ppds). It may safely be removed after installation.
