cups-filters 1.14.0 released!

[Till Kamppeter]

Hi,

I have released cups-filters 1.14.0 now, with the following changes:

- cups-browsed: When a printer is discovered via DNS-SD on the
"lo" (loopback) interface the printer is not reliably
accessible through the reported host name (which is the
network host name of the local machine). Until this problem
is fixed in Avahi, we create queues for such printers with a
URI based on the IP address. This is a workaround until
Avahi fully supports the "lo" interface.
- cups-browsed: Added new setting "LocalOnly" for the
CreateIPPPrinterQueues in cups-browsed.conf. With this new
setting (which is the default from now on) only for local
printers made available as IPP printers (like IPP-over-USB
printers with ippusbxd) queues are auto-created. With this
we can follow the common standard of distributions where USB
printers are automatically set up and network printers not.
- cups-browsed: Fixes and improvements in comments and debug
messages: 1. Bonjour -> DNS-SD; 2. When a remote CUPS class
is discovered, tell that it is a class; 3. Show network
interface and IPv4/IPv6 when a DNS-Sd service appears or
disappears.
- cups-browsed: Added ./configure script option
"--enable-auto-setup-driverless" to let cups-browsed
automatically set up IPP network printers by default.

This release adds the "--enable-auto-setup-driverless" option to
./configure. With this option set, cups-browsed creates queues for all
discovered IPP network printers on the local network which support
driverless printing (IPP Everywhere or Apple AirPrint). Without the
option set cups-browsed only creates local queues for remote CUPS queues
and for IPP printers with "localhost" URI (like IPP-over-USB printers on
local USB).

I would like to ask you that when you do the 1.14.0 Debian package to
let the Ubuntu build use the "--enable-auto-setup-driverless"
./configure option.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have released cups-filters 1.14.0 now (
)

Uploaded just now to Debian experimental.

This release adds the "--enable-auto-setup-driverless" option to
./configure. With this option set, cups-browsed creates queues for all
discovered IPP network printers on the local network which support
driverless printing (IPP Everywhere or Apple AirPrint). Without the
option set cups-browsed only creates local queues for remote CUPS queues
and for IPP printers with "localhost" URI (like IPP-over-USB printers on
local USB).
I would like to ask you that when you do the 1.14.0 Debian package to
let the Ubuntu build use the "--enable-auto-setup-driverless"
./configure option.

I've enabled that option by default in Debian, as this is an upload to
experimental. I've noted that the cups-browsed.conf documentation doesn't
reflect that default. I plan to revisit that for stretch+1.

Cheers,
OdyX
