debian/patches/30_ppd_generator_broken_on_printer_name_with_comma.patch:
PPD gnerator for CUPS did not list the PPDs correctly on printer names
containing a comma (LP: #150985).

17. By Till Kamppeter on 2007-08-21

debian/control: Added "cdbs" package to Build-Depends, needed for
simple-patchsys.mk.

16. By Till Kamppeter on 2007-08-20

* debian/rules: Enabled package to accept patches via simple-patchsys.mk
* debian/patches/10_safer_default_margins.patch: Do not use zero unprintable
  margins if no margins are defined for printer, driver, or printer/driver
  combo, use safer settings: 1/4th of an inch left and right, 1/2 of an
  inch at top and bottom.
* debian/patches/20_search_printer_with_empty_model.patch: Allow the
  foomatic-searchprinter utility also search for all printers of a
  given manufacturer supplying the manufacturer name with an empty model
  name, like "ricoh|".
* debian/watch: Corrected URL.

* New upstream release
   - Added support for suppressing CUPS' page accounting on a per-driver
     basis. If a driver XML file is marked with "<nopageaccounting/>" in
     its "<execution>" section, the line "*FoomaticNoPageAccounting: True"
     is added to the PPD file to let foomatic-rip suppress inserting the
     page accounting code into the PostScript data stream. This will allow
     to turn on the page accounting of foomatic-rip by default again (bug
     LP#126139).

* New upstream release
   - Replaced "Gimp-Print" by "Gutenprint" in scripts and documentation.
   - Allow group names preceeded by asterisks
     ('*') in PPD files ("*OpenGroup: ..."/"*CloseGroup: ..." lines).
     This is needed by the PPD for the KONICA MINOLTA magicolor 5430
     DL, provided by KONICA MINOLTA and probably also by several other
     manufacturer-supplied PPD files.
   - Let the PPD files listed in the XML version of the overview also
     get listed in the Perl version.
   - Improved find_printer() method. Now searches of make and model
     names do not consider other characters than letters and numbers
     any more. All other characters and boundaries between letters and
     numbers are converted to single spaces.

* New upstream release
   - Bug fixes on automatic PPD generator for CUPS, especially the
     previous version listed PPD files for printers with the PostScript
     driver where the PPD files could not be generated (happened when
     the printer was not in the list of supported printers in the
     Postscript driver XML file but the printer XML file had a link to
     a manufacturer-supplied PPD, closes: LP#81787), listed ready-made
     PPDs provided by foomatic-db twice, and generated Foomatic generic
     PostScript PPDs where manufacturer-supplied PPDs were available.

* Merge from debian unstable; remaining Ubuntu changes:
  - Add debian/links: Install foomatic-ppdfile as Cups driver backend, for
    dynamic PPD file creation love.

11. By Till Kamppeter on 2006-09-25

New upstream release.
o Merged all Debian/Ubuntu patches upstream
o Let CUPS only list printer/driver combos for which really PPDs can
be generated (some drivers have no GhostScript command line).
Closes: LP#42965, LP#61934.

10. By Tollef Fog Heen on 2006-08-29

Make /usr/lib/cups/driver/foomatic a symlink to
/usr/bin/foomatic-ppdfile for automatic PPD file generation.

9. By Martin Pitt on 2006-06-30

Merge from debian unstable.
