Comment 28 for bug 668800

This bug was fixed in the package cups - 1.4.5-3

---------------
cups (1.4.5-3) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Till Kamppeter ]
  * debian/rules: Do not remove the /usr/share/cups/model/ directory, some
    manufacturer-supplied printer drivers (like from Brother) still use it.
  * debian/rules: Remove a cost factor change for pstops. It is not used any
    more and overridden by
    pstops-based-workflow-only-for-printing-ps-on-a-ps-printer.dpatch
  * debian/local/filters/pdf-filters/filter/pdftoraster.cxx,
    debian/local/filters/pdf-filters/conf/pdftoraster.convs,
    debian/local/filters/pdf-filters/README,
    debian/local/filters/pdf-filters/addtocups
    debian/local/filters/pdf-filters/conf/HP-PhotoSmart_Pro_B8300-hpijs-pdftoijs.ppd,
    debian/local/filters/pdf-filters/config-scripts/cups-pdf-filters.m4,
    debian/local/filters/pdf-filters/removefromcups: Upstream changes of
    the PDF filter add-on package:
     o Added the Poppler-based pdftoraster filter. This filter is much faster
       than the Ghostscript-based filter (LP: #668800).
     o Cleaned up the sample PPD file for pdftoijs (does not go into the
       Debian/Ubuntu package of CUPS).
  * debian/rules: Rename the newly added Poppler-based pdftoraster filter
    to pdftoraster-poppler to not conflict with Ghostscript's pdftoraster
    and lower its cost factor so that it is prioritized against Ghostscript's
    filter.
  * debian/patches/cups-avahi.dpatch: Updated to fix assertion failure
    (LP: #707592, Red Hat bug #672143).

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * debian/patches/ubuntu-upstart.dpatch: Don't ignore failures from
    apparmor-profile-load.

cups (1.4.5-2) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Till Kamppeter ]
  * debian/patches/cups-avahi.dpatch: Added patch from Tim Waugh from Red Hat
    to implement full Avahi support, not only for printer discovery by the
    "dnssd" backend but also for print queue broadcasting and browsing by the
    scheduler (CUPS daemon). Fixes LP: #465916.
  * debian/patches/dnssd-avahi.dpatch: Removed, is part of new
    cups-avahi.dpatch.
  * debian/patches/quiesce-bonjour-warning.dpatch: Removed, not needed any
    more with the new cups-avahi.dpatch.
  * debian/rules: Added "--with-local_protocols='CUPS dnssd'
    --with-remote_protocols='CUPS dnssd'" to the command line of "./configure".
    This adds support for DNS-SD-based browsing and broadcasting by default.
  * debian/patches/configure-default-browse-protocols.dpatch: Fixed handling
    of "--with-local_protocols=..." and "--with-remote_protocols=..." on the
    command line of "./configure". Now (quoted) values with spaces, like
    "CUPS dnssd" are treated correctly.
  * debian/patches/usb-backend-no-segfault-on-bad-device-id.dpatch: Assure
    that the device ID string read from a USB device can never be a mess: Try
    other byte order for device ID string length also if length is too small,
    empty the read device ID string if there is an IOCTL failure, reject ID
    strings with unprintable characters, clean white space in the ID string,
    and finally accept the empty ID string as an unknown device. This
    overcomes the problem that USB-to-Parallel adapter cables do not
    report back a usable ID string. With these changes it is at least possible
    to use one adapter cable per computer if the cables do not report unique
    serial numbers via libusb and any number of adapter cables if they do
    report serial numbers via libusb. Real USB printers can always be used,
    also if there are other printers connected with an adapter cable
    (LP: #468701, LP: #564917).

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * debian/local/apparmor-profile: Explicitly deny access to ttyUSB* to
    silence noise. This is presumably an extra control channel for some USB
    printers, but cupsd can't use it anyway. (LP: #692892)
  * ubuntu-upstart.dpatch: Drop reloading of Samba. It didn't work in some
    cases, and is better fixed in samba's upstart script (start cups in its
    pre-start).
  * debian/rules: Set LC_MESSAGES=C to avoid breaking the test suite in
    non-English locales. This is a temporary fix until it is resolved upstream
    (see http://www.cups.org/str.php?L3765).

  [ Kees Cook ]
  * ubuntu-upstart.dpatch: Use AppArmor profile loading helper. (LP: #690040)
