82. By Till Kamppeter on 2012-03-22

* New upstream release.
   - Added Xerox Phaser 3160N (LP: #945294)
   - Added new printers from Ricoh and OEM.

81. By Till Kamppeter on 2012-03-02

* debian/control: Reverted to individual Recommends: and Suggests: entries
  for printer drivers as we cannot include all drivers recommended by the
  printer-drivers-all meta package of Debian (LP: #944660). This is only for
  the Precise release. After the release we will sync with Debian again.
* debian/control: Updated package names in the dependencies to not depend on
  transitional packages.

80. By Didier Raboud on 2012-02-12

* New upstream release.
  - Added entries for new Epson, Ricoh, Infotec, Gestetner, Lanier, NRG, and
    Savin printers
  - Added "Resolution" option to "ibmpro" driver. Without specifying the
    resolution the driver does not work (Closes: #554769).
  - Assigned driver "ljetplus" instead of "ljet3" to the Panasonic
    KX-P4450, as only "ljetplus" actually works (Closes: #350319).

79. By Didier Raboud on 2011-12-06

* New upstream release
  - Added the KONICA MINOLTA versions of several Minolta laser printers to
    make them correctly auto-detected for everyone (LP: #889811).
  - Make sure all Xerox Phaser 6180 printers have correct declaration of
    mechanisms, in particular of color capabilities (Closes: #642960).
  - Assigned also PCL-5e drivers to the Samsung ML-2570 and recommended the
    PCL-5e driver "hpijs-pcl5e" as (at least some copies of) the printer has
    problems with the PostScript and PCL-XL drivers (LP: #855412).
  - Use the special PageSize option for dot-matrix printers for the Canon
    BJ-330, as it has a paper handling like a dot-matrix printer
    (LP: #854983).

* All patches have been merged upstream (see above); drop them.
* Replace explicit relationships on drivers by a recommendation on
  printer-driver-all to foomatic-db*.
* Update description to match the new printer-driver-* naming.

debian/patches/samsung-ml-2570-recommend-hpijs-pcl5e.patch: Assigned also
PCL-5e drivers to the Samsung ML-2570 and recommended the PCL-5e driver
"hpijs-pcl5e" as (at least some copies of) the printer has problems with
the PostScript and PCL-XL drivers (LP: #855412).

debian/patches/canon-bj-330-dot-matrix-page-sizes.patch: Use the special
PageSize option for dot-matrix printers for the Canon BJ-330, as it has a
paper handling like a dot-matrix printer (LP: #854983).

76. By Till Kamppeter on 2011-08-31

* New upstream release
   - The Lexmark E120n does not work in PostScript mode when using
     generic PostScript PPD files. Updated comment and removed support
     by "Postscript" driver. Rated down to "Mostly" (LP: #802285).
   - Removed "Halftoning Algorithm" option, it does not work any more
     with current Ghostscript (LP: #659398).
   - Updated entry for the Lexmark E230: Added Device ID, support by
     PCL-5e drivers (LP: #821818).
   - Added the Brother HL-2070N (LP: #778620).

75. By Till Kamppeter on 2011-08-19

* debian/rules: Make sure that NUMJOBS is always defined. Otherwise the
  command line of foomatic-compiledb gets messed up. Also use more standard
  directory names for the collection of pre-built PPDs.
* debian/foomatic-db-compressed-ppds.ppd-updater,
  debian/openprinting-ppds.ppd-updater: Content of the two files was the
  wrong way around. Corrected.

debian/control, debian/rules, debian/foomatic-db-xml.install,
debian/foomatic-db.install, debian/foomatic-db-xml.postinst,
debian/foomatic-db.postinst: Renamed the foomatic-db-xml binary package
(Foomatic XML database) back to foomatic-db-xml, providing foomatic-db-xml
as virtual package. The renaming of a binary package is not accepted
by Debian. Driver packages which need the XMLs for building have to
Build-Depend on foomatic-db and Build-Conflict with
foomatic-db-compressed-ppds.

* debian/control, debian/rules, debian/foomatic-db.install,
  debian/foomatic-db-xml.install, debian/foomatic-db.postinst,
  debian/foomatic-db-xml.postinst: Renamed the foomatic-db binary package
  (Foomatic XML database) to foomatic-db-xml, providing foomatic-db as
  virtual package. This way the buildds can explicitly install the XML
  database if it is requested by Build-Depends: in the package to be built.
* debian/rules: Moved apport hook into the foomatic-db-compressed-ppds
  package as this package is usually installed.
