PPR is a print spooler for PostScript printers or non-PostScript printers with Ghostscript. It has support for AppleTalk, JetDirect, and SMB with the aid of Samba. Version 1.54 has been released. This is a maintainance release which fixes bugs and compatibility problems with new releases of other software.
* Fixes for GCC 4.0 and minor compile problems * Linux USB printing and browsing fixes * Linux parallel port printing fixes * SMB printing fixes * Fixed page counting when the Windows XP PostScript drivers N-Up feature is used (requires enabling of editps). * Other minor bug fixes See History.txt in the tarball for full change log.
PPR version 1.53 has been released. This release features redumentary IPP support sufficient to print from KDE, Openoffice.org, and Mozilla.
Major changes since 1.52: * The browser compatibility of the web interface has been vastly improved while approving its appearance and usability in sophisticated browsers. * Added IPP support sufficient to print from the KDE desktop using PPR as a drop-in replacement for CUPS. The IPP support is not yet standards complient and is still far from complete. * Added automatic probing for printer type to assist in selecting a PPD file. This works from the command line with the "ppad ppdq" command and from the web interface. * Added automatic probing for printer type to assist in selecting a PPD file. This works from the command line with the "ppad ppdq" command and from the web interface. * Corrected many internationalization problems. * Removed PostScript versions of the preformatted documentation in order to reduce the size of the source code archive. The PostScript versions and still be build, and prebuilt PDF versions are still provided. * Fixed a bug affecting PageMaker 7.0. * Fixed ppr-clean. Bugs prevented it from doing its job which is to remove leftover temporary files. * Expanded format of lprsrv.conf to allow for rules which match hosts listed in additional files in the style of /etc/hosts.lpd. * Completed papd which is the replacement for papsrv. It provides vastly simplified configuration and the ability to adjust to configuration changes without restarting. * Rewrote ppr2samba to use a new queue configuration reader library which was written by papd. * Added an editps filter for MS Windows XP. There were of course a large number of smaller bug fixes. A lot of work was also done to clean up code which was standing in the way of furthur progress. Several complicate sections were simplified by using a simple exception handling system based on etjmp()/longjmp().
