cups-filters 1.0.18-0ubuntu0.1 source package in Ubuntu
Changelog
cups-filters (1.0.18-0ubuntu0.1) precise-proposed; urgency=low [ Till Kamppeter ] * New upstream release - pdftops: Allow selection whether Ghostscript or Poppler is used at runtime, setting the "pdftops-renderer" option to "gs" or "pdftops". This way one can switch to Poppler per-queue if there are incompatibilities with certain PostScript printers. - pdftops: Allow setting an upper limit for the image rendering resolution, also at runtime, setting the option "pdftops-max-image-resolution-default" to the desired limit in dpi. "0" means no limit. - pdftops: Fixed crash by wrong usage of sizeof() function when adding "Collate" to the fifth command line argument for the "pstops" CUPS filter call (LP: #982675). - pdftops: Removed newline from copies value when reading it from the "%%PDFTOPDFNumCopies" entry of the incoming PDF file. - pdftops: Silenced compiler warning about ignoring the return value of the write() function. - pdftops: Added a crash guard. - pdftops: Start determining the printing resolution with cupsRasterInterpretPPD(), this is the most reliable as often the choice names of the "Resolution" option are marketing names with higher numerical values than the actual resolution. Also ignore error exit values of cupsRasterInterpretPPD() as the function can error out after having found the resolution (LP: #984082). - pdftops: If printing resolution is determined by cupsRasterInterpretPPD() do not stick on 100 dpi if the resolution cannot be determined (LP: #984082). * debian/rules: Set default renderer for the pdftops filter to Poppler due to many printer's buggy interpreters having problems with GhostScript's PostScript and set image rendering resolution limit of the pdftops filter to 360 dpi to prevents slow processing by the printer if very high resolutions are used or if the printing resolution is mis-detected by the pdftops filter (LP: #668800, LP #951627 (comment #30), LP: #998087, LP: #992982 (comments #26, #27, #30, #31), LP: #997728, LP: #994477, LP: #998087, LP: #978120, LP: #862167). [ Didier Raboud ] * Drop libtiff5-dev, just use libtiff-dev, this fixes the FTBFS due to incompatibility with cups. -- Till Kamppeter <email address hidden> Wed, 16 May 2012 11:25:03 +0200
