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).
