Package: cups-filters
Version: 1.0.34-3
Severity: important
Tags: upstream
[Bastien asked me to report this an an important bug. -JimC]
Revision 6868 of upstream cups-filters bzr introduced code to prevent pdftops
from generating level3 postscript. Ever.
Ubuntu bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277404
and poppler bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19640
are referenced in the commit.
Certain HP printers were unable to handle the level3 postscript
generated by poppler’s (and probably xpdf’s) pdftops(1), which can be
used by the cups-filters pdftops filter. The problem seems to be
specific to CID-keyed fonts.
HP refused to change their PPDs, which advertize level3 support, on
the grounds that the level3 ps generated by apple’s osx worked fine.
cups-filters should not limit itself to generating level1 and level2;
instead the PPD files for the affected HP printers should be edited
to specify level2.

Changes:
cups-filters (1.0.41-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* New upstream release 1.0.41:
- pdftops: Introduced new "hybrid" renderer: Here usually
Ghostscript is used, but if the printer is a Brother,
Minolta, or Konica Minolta Poppler's pdftops gets used. This
is a quirk rule to work around bugs in the PS interpreters
of the printers (LP: #1097105, LP: #1053443, LP: #1205898, LP: #238129,
LP: #1072915, LP: #293832).
- cups-browsed: Assure that it always applies to the local CUPS
daemon and never to a remote one specified via client.conf
(LP: #1207203).
- pdftops: If one or more of the PDF-to-PS renderers (Ghostscript,
Poppler pdftops, Poppler pdftocairo, acroread) is not installed
at build time, pre-fill the appropriate executable's path with the
executable name to allow the use of this renderer when it gets
installed later (Closes: #716842).
- Added man pages for cups-browsed and cups-browsed.conf. Thanks to
Brian Potkin for the contribution (Closes: #714460).
- pdftops: Let Poppler generally generate PostScript level 3 if the
PPD identifies the printer as PS3 printer, make an exception of
sending PostScript Level 2 only for HP's laser printers, to not
compromise print quality and performance on all PS3 printers only
due to some buggy HP models (Closes: #712949, see also LP: #277404).
.
[ Till Kamppeter ]
* Added Conflicts/Provides/Replaces and droppded Recommends/Breaks against
ghostscript-cups to the cups-filters binary package as all files from
ghostscript-cups moved to cups-filters (LP: #1212239).
* debian/libcupsfilters1.symbols: Updated for 1.0.36
* debian/rules: Removed "--with-browseremoteprotocols=dnssd" from the
./configure command line, we use the upstream default "dnssd,cups"
now.
* debian/rules: Added ./configure option "--with-pdftops=hybrid" to activate
the hybrid rendering mode (LP: #1097105, LP: #1053443, LP: #1205898,
LP: #238129, LP: #1072915, LP: #293832).
.
[ Didier Raboud ]
* Install escp.h and pcl.h in the CUPS ppdc include directory; this
fixes cupsfilters.drv.
* In cups-browsed's postinst:
- Drop useless uses of cat
- Handle upgrade of Browse{Remote,Local}Protocols from cups < 1.6
* Make cups-browsed break cups-daemon << 1.6.4 to make sure the above
upgrade is left possible
