CUPS Driver Development Kit

CUPS Driver Development Kit (DDK) provides a suite of standard drivers, a PPD file compiler, and other utilities that can be used to develop printer drivers for CUPS and other printing environments.

CUPS provides a portable printing layer for UNIX-based operating systems. The CUPS DDK provides the means for mass-producing PPD files and drivers/filters for CUPS-based printer drivers.

The CUPS DDK is licensed under the GNU General Public License.

What is new in this release:

• Compile fixes (STR #3849, STR #3850)
• The scheduler didn't check for empty values for several configuration directives (STR #3861)
• ipptool didn't generate valid XML when a test was skipped.
• Added additional error checking to the 1284 device ID code (STR #3858)
• Fixed some compatibility issues migrating from the old usblp backend to the libusb backend (STR #3860)
• Fixed the wake-from-sleep printing behavior on Mac OS X.
• The scheduler incorrectly allowed jobs to be held from a terminating state.
• The cups-driverd program could crash when a PPD was renamed.
• The dnssd backend took too long to discover printers on large or busy networks with the new default timeout used by lpinfo and the web interface. This resulted in "lost" printers.

What is new in version 1.2.3:

• Added a missing test file (foo-fr.po) to the source distribution.
