HPLIP 3.9.10 release
**HPLIP 3.9.10 - This release has the following changes:**
Significant Changes
-------------------
* The hpcups printer driver has been re-written. The code has been simplified and is no longer based on the APDK. The new driver performs no bi-directional IO which provides improved performance. Print modes, paper sizes, mechanical offsets and margins are no longer hard coded in the source code, but are controlled by the PPD file.
Added Support for the Following New Printers:

HP Linux Imaging & Printing System (HPLIP) 3.9.8 Patch
This patch addresses two issues in the 3.9.8 hpcups.drv file.
1. Re-orders common paper sizes so that normal, fullbleed and duplex papers sizes are grouped together in the PPD.
2. Changed the LJColor device class from RGBW to RGB color space. The K band was not being printed by hpcups.
It is recommended that the user run the following after applying this patch:
$ make uninstall
$ make clean
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
$ make
# make install
All of the commands above should be performed while in the tarball directory (ie: /home/user/Desktop/hplip-3.9.8)2009-08-11 19:04:06 UTC by linus_araque

#. Applied Tim Waugh's patch to hplip.desktop.in (LP bug \#405404)
#. Changed firewall port open commands so that they no longer require su/sudo from within distros.dat. All commands are run as root by code in core_install.py.
#. Changed Fedora port open command string to better match that executed by the firewall tool.
#. Fixed incorrect STATE messages in hpijs and hpcups (Red Hat request).
#. Added getenv NULL checks in hpijs and hpcups (Red Hat request).

#. Fixed wificonfig associate issue when called from hp-setup

#. Added TTRasterizer attribute to hpijs.drv.
#. Fixed defect (Wifi flag for OJ 7000 e809a not set correctly)
#. Fixed defect (-e and --email-subject not working in hp-scan)
#. Fixed defect (Fax destination causes hp-scan to not run)
#. Fixed I/O error in hp-wificonfig that occured if device was unplugged at beginning and no other device was present
#. Added code to hp-scan for when using the "--fax" option so users understand that fax support is not implemented at this time.
#. Fix defect (Click "Default" button on "Page Set" in hp-print options doesn't reset to the default)
#. Fix defect (Manual install webpages can contain duplicate package names).
#. Fixed create_docs.py to ignore errors from hppgsz.

#. Fixed typo in check.py for parseDeviceURI changes for zeroconf.

#. Enable mDNS as the default network search mechanism.
#. Fix toolbox so that users can open the web interface to mDNS configured printers.
#. Fix hpmud mDNS lookup to perform better by changing it to poll every 1/2 second up to the timeout limit specified.

HP Linux Imaging & Printing System (HPLIP) 3.9.6 Release
**HPLIP 3.9.6 - This release has the following changes:**
Significant Changes
-------------------
* The new native CUPS driver (HPCUPS) is now the default printer driver. HPCUPS requires CUPS 1.2 or higher and is a complete replacement for HPIJS. For now HPIJS is still included in the tarball and if necessary can co-exist with HPCUPS. HPCUPS provides new paper sizes for borderless and duplex. This means we now have PPDs with exact printable regions for normal, borderless and duplex paper sizes.
* A new utility 'hp-wificonfig' allows you to configure select wifi-capable printers on a wireless network. Once configured, the printer may be installed normally using hp-setup (there is also a way to access hp-wificonfig directly from hp-setup).
