Changelog

system-config-printer (1.2.3+20100723-0ubuntu5) maverick; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/67_improve-make-model-driver-list.patch: Improved and
    cleaned the way how make/model/driver combos get listed and also fixed
    the default driver selection for many printers:
     o Of some printer model names (like "Epson PX V500") parts of the name
       were considered a PPD version number and cut off.
     o Removed "Printer" from Apollo printer model names to reduce duplicates
     o Generally removed "PS" from the end of printer model names, so that
       the printer with and without an optional PostScript add-on is considered
       the same model (see especially the printers from Sharp).
     o Invalidated bogus model names which came in from the "*Product:" fields
       of some PPD files, like "CUPS" or "GPL Ghostscript".
     o If a printer is supported by manufacturer-supplied PPD files for both
       PostScript and PCL, the PCL file will be selected preferably, so that
       the printer will work also if an optional PostScript add-on is not
       installed (see printers from Gestetner, Infotec, Infoprint, Lanier, NRG,
       Ricoh, Savin).
     o Recognize Foomatic-generated PPDs as such also after the packaging
       change from Foomatic-XML data (foomatic-db) to a compressed PPD archive
       (foomatic-db-compressed-ppds).
     o Make Foomatic driver recommendations be taken into account also if the
       printer's manufacturer name is "Generic".
     o Do not do model name clean-up on PPDs which are supplied with CUPS or
       Ghostscript. These names get crippled otherwise.
     o Avoid applying model name clean-up twice.
  * debian/patches/70_select-ppd-by-command-set.patch: If both the detected
    device ID and the device ID in the PPD ("*1284DeviceID: ...") have a CMD
    field, exact matches of the CMD field prioritize the PPD file. This way
    especially for printers with optional PostScript add-on the correct PPD
    gets selected (requested by Ricoh).
