Log:
Update to apsfilter version 7.1.1
Bugfix release and new cool features
New: apspreview script and manpage -> allows you to preview your print
session using gv, kghostview or ghostview (in that order).
If the result fits your needs you can of course directly print
from within these viewers using lpr -C and using apsfilter options
New: "apsfilter-bug" utility which supports you to release a helpful
bug- or problem report for us developers. Its the first release
and certainly will get useful updates in the future.
Detects automatically the apsfilter version you use (-current or
-stable) and sends mail to proper mailinglist apsfilter-current
or apsfilter-stable mailinglist.
New: handbook and manpage updates / cleanups.
More guidance how to release a bug report using apsfilter-bug(1)
apsfilter manpage documents now all print options (-C/-Z option)
supported by apsfilter
Fixes (Prio)
- (HIGH) unbreak hardware duplex printing for all true Postscript printer
- (MEDIUM) pcl3/u970 driver fix for (hardware) duplex printing.
Comment: not tested due to hardware fault of our duplex device.
Would appreciate some feedback. pcl3 driver is very picky about
combination of gs driver options. The options currently in use
have been selected from pcl3 handbook to our best knowledge.
- (HIGH) New ljet4 driver for LaserJet4 style lasers. Previously it used
the cdeskjet driver, which was wrong.
- (HIGH) a2ps sometimes delegates print jobs to other applications even
if user wanted to force ASCII printing (using lpr -C ascii).
This breaks for example printing of Latex Sources.
a2ps will now be executed with "--delegate=no". Fixed !
I encourage everybody to use this new version.
Later version perhaps will get some more generic printer_add/mod/del
commands as prerequisite for perhaps other graphical admin tools.
For that we could need some help from webmin, TCL/TK or gtk GUI
wizards ... Thats usually not my business ;-)
