[PASCHAL,DAVID (HP-Roseville,ex1) <dav...@hp...>]

Hi,

I'm forwarding the hpijs-1.0.4 announcement, which among other things adds
1200x1200 dpi ("HiRes") support for "DJ9xxVIP"-based models (OfficeJet D
series, PhotoSmart 1115/12xx/13xx).

This HP Inkjet Linux Driver (HPIJS) release has the following changes. 

1. Added a new HiRes mode to DJ9xxVIP device class.
2. Added support for paper sizes A3 and A5.
3. Removed Photo Full Bleed paper size and added a FullBleed parameter.
4. Fixed a duplex top margin problem with paper sizes other than Letter.
5. Fixed a duplex top margin problem with grey_k and grey_cmy.
6. Fixed a problem detecting B4 and B5 paper sizes.
7. Fixed a artifact (black vertical line) that could occur in the right
margin.

The new HiRes mode supports the maximum resolution for DJ9xxVIP device
class. For these devices the box specification for resolution is
2400x1200. In the past no scaling was done to 2400 in the printer. 

Full bleed support is no longer a separate paper size. Full bleed is
enabled with a new Ghostscript command called FullBleed. Now you just
select your 4x6 paper size and set FullBleed=1. 

See hpinkjet.sourceforge.net and the hpijs_readme.html file for more
information.

Also, there is a known a bug in Ghostscript 6.53 (gdevijs.c) which
swapped the top margin with the bottom margin. The attached patch file
will fix it.

$ patch -p0 < gdevijs2.patch

Instead of having a 1/8 inch top and 1/2 inch bottom margin (IE:
Letter), this was reversed. This was not a problem when -dDuplex=true,
since both top and bottom margins are 1/2 inch.
