1 minute read
Bug fix release to remove the support quality check from the "driverless" utility to do not break CUPS' PPD listing facility and several fixes for generating PPDs for driverless printers
- driverless: Removed the support quality check from Pull request #235 as it takes significant time for each printer being listed, making cups-driverd (
lpinfo -m) timing out when there are many printers (OpenPrinting CUPS issue #65). - libcupsfilters: In the PPD generator give priority to Apple Raster against PDF (Issue #331).
- libcupsfilters: Added NULL check when removing ".Borderless" suffixes from page size names (Issue #314, Pull request #328).
- libcupsfilters: In the cupsRasterParseIPPOptions() map the color spaces the same way as in the PPD generator (Issue #326, Pull request #327).
- libcupsfilters: Fixed addition of grayscale mode in generated PPD files, to avoid duplicate entries (OpenPrinting CUPS issue #59).
