hplip 1.7.3-0ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

hplip (1.7.3-0ubuntu1) feisty; urgency=low

  * New upstream release (closes: LP#82546, LP#83936, LP#85805, LP#87695,
    LP#92237, LP#94013, LP#94015, LP#94823, LP#95489)
    * HPLIP 1.7.3
      + Added the <nopjl /> tag to hpijs-generator.in. This will remove
        the extra foomatic PJL options from most HP LaserJet PPD
        files. The extra foomatic PJL options caused some HPIJS PCL data
        issues. This fixes a "PCL XL error" on LJ1010/1012 that can
        occur on different PCs (closes: LP#92237).
      + Fixed defect (An error occurs when send a fax coverpage with "&"
        or "<" character in Regarding or Optional Message field.)
      + Removed banner pages from fax print settings
      + Altered hpfax: device discovery output to match hp: scheme (CUPS
        1.2 only)
      + Removed the wait cursor during the password entry screen
        [reported by Johannes]
      + Added error messages and suppressed content in toolbox when
        device is not found or unsupported
      + A new configure option was added --enable-cups11-build, this
        option controls the hp/hpfax device discovery message when no
        devices are found. If needed, this option provides backward
        compatibility with CUPS 1.1.x applications.
        With --enable-cups11-build set the "no_device_found" message is
        displayed during device discovery by the "hp" backend.
        With --disable-cups11-build (default) set the backend prints a
        scheme based on the following conditions.
            Condition 1 - no daemons
              output nothing stdout return exit 1
            Condition 2 - daemons running, no HP devices, output scheme
              direct hp "Unknown" "HP Printer (HPLIP)" return exit 0
            Condition 3 - daemons running, HP printer found, output URI
              direct hp:/... "hp model" "HP model HPLIP" "deviceid"
            return exit 0
        (closes: LP#87695)
