Updated <drivers> section in printer xml for MFC-7840N and MFC-7840W using MFC-7820N as example

56. By Jason Gerard DeRose on 2010-04-11

Added printer xml files for MFC-7840N, MFC-7840W using foomatic-ppd-to-xml

55. By Jason Gerard DeRose on 2010-04-11

Added PPDs for Brother MFC-7840N and MFC-7840W.

These PPDs are written by Brother and licensed under the GPLv2. They were
downloaded from:

  http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_prn.html

As far as I can tell, these have not yet been included upstream.

debian/patches/halftoning-algorithm.patch: Fixed command line code fields
which got truncated by hosting the OpenPrinting database in a MySQL
database on the server (LP: #541690).

53. By Till Kamppeter on 2010-03-10

debian/patches/fix-margins-in-inches.patch: Fixed margin definitions in
several Foomatic XML files. The unit setting got lost when the margins
were given in inches (LP: #529279).

* New upstream release
   - Removed ugly Perl workarounds to implement paper input tray selection
     for the PCL 4/5/5e/5c/6/XL Ghostscript drivers. Paper tray selection is
     fixed in GhostScript for some time already.
   - Removed explicit supply of PJL commands for setting the resolution
     with the PCL 6/XL Ghostscript drivers. This is fixed in Ghostscript
     for some time.
   - Set the resolution of the draft model of the PCL 6/XL Ghostscript drivers
     to 600 dpi, some printers, like the HP LaserJet 3390, do not print
     correctly with 300 dpi in PCL-XL mode.
   - Removed workaround against crashes of the "bjc600" and "bjc800" drivers
     when PDF is used as input. This is also fixed in Ghostscript for some
     time.
   - Fixed PIN option of the "hl7x0" driver, it had no long name (menu
     entry string) for the "None" setting.
   - Added the Brother PT-2300 label printer.
* debian/patches/bjc600-bjc800.patch: Removed, applied upstream.

   - Canon LBP-3360 needs "hpijs-pcl5e" instead of "pxlmono" as driver
     (LP: #504841).
   - Added "n" and "nw" version of HP LaserJet 1022, to make printer setup
     tools set them up with "foo2zjs" (LP: #250872).
   - Samsung CLP-610ND needs "splix" instead of "pxlcolor" as driver
     (LP: #505423, LP: #510832).
   - Added license info to the PostScript PPDs from KONICA MINOLTA.
   - Lexmark's PostScript PPDs are free software and therefore included in
     the foomatic-db upstream source package now.
   - Generic PCL 6/PCL XL printer works also with the "hpijs-pcl5c" driver.
   - Oki B6300 works as PCL-XL printer.
   - Corrected OrderDependency numbers for the JCL options so that the JCL
     code is definitely inserted in the correct order (LP: #442451).
   - Removed "*cupsFilter" line for Apple from the ready-made PPDs, it causes
     problems with some printers on Mac OS X.
   - Renamed printer entries: HP Color LaserJet 8550GN -> 8550, HP LaserJet
     2055 -> P2055d.
   - Removed HP's PostScript PPD files as they are supplied and maintained
     in HPLIP.
   - Major XML clean-up.
   - Updated and completed the documentation of the Foomatic XML format in
     the README file.
* debian/patches/remove-redundant-hp-ppds.patch,

numbers for the JCL options so that the JCL code is definitely inserted

debian/foomatic-db.postinst, debian/openprinting-ppds.postinst,
debian/openprinting-ppds-extra.postinst: Fixed "lpstat -r" check for the
auto update of PPDs of existing queues. "lpstat -r" exits always with
status 0, we must check the actual output. Call lpstat, lpadmin, and
cupsctl with "-h /var/run/cups/cups.sock" to avoid querying remote
servers set up in /etc/cups/client.conf, and asking for passwords.
Thanks to Martin-Éric Racine for tracking this down and the solution!
See Debian bug #543468. Use signal names instead of numbers for trap.
Quiesces a lintian bashism warning.
