HPLIP 3.9.6 - This release has the following changes:

Significant Changes

• The new native CUPS driver (HPCUPS) is now the default printer driver. HPCUPS requires CUPS 1.2 or higher and is a complete replacement for HPIJS. For now HPIJS is still included in the tarball and if necessary can co-exist with HPCUPS. HPCUPS provides new paper sizes for borderless and duplex. This means we now have PPDs with exact printable regions for normal, borderless and duplex paper sizes.
• A new utility 'hp-wificonfig' allows you to configure select wifi-capable printers on a wireless network. Once configured, the printer may be installed normally using hp-setup (there is also a way to access hp-wificonfig directly from hp-setup).

33. Added installer support for PolicyKit changes and turned the support on for versions of Ubuntu and PCLinuxOS.
34. Fixed an error path in hpmud.
35. Moved the hpmud_open_device() call in hp.c to after the first read from hpcups or hpijs.

67. Fix for defect (Qt4 sendfax UI doesn't require fax number). Fixed hp-sendfax in both CLI and UI modes to ignore address book entries without fax number.
68. Fix for defect (Renamed address book entries can cause group deletion). Rename operation was copying the old contents of the entry without changing the self-referential name entry.
69. Added reportError() to sane.py to fix a user reported issue (LP Question #18354)

75. Fixed defect (Second testpage print fails). Added missing call to close the open device in the button click handler.
76. Changed the qt default from qt3 to qt4 at configure time.

82. Fix for defect (No error displayed when fax recipient is offline). Some devcies don't return an error for this so we detect this now and display a "possible causes" error.
83. Fix for defect (Using Quick Add in hp-sendfax alters existing fax address book entries). Cribbed code from Qt4 UI to disallow using a name in Quick Add that already exists in the FAB.

HPLIP 2.8.12 - This release has the following changes:

Significant Changes

• From this release forward, all PPD files will reside in the tarball. Prior to this release, products that required a binary plug-in for support had their PPD's shipped with the plug-in file. This lead to a less than ideal installation experience because the installer would choose an incorrect PPD.
• Preview (alpha) release of the Qt4 version of HPLIP. To enable Qt4 in HPLIP 2.8.12, please refer to this KB article: http://hplipopensource.com/node/308
• HPLIP device permissions set at hot-plug time are now more restrictive. Only the Console user has access to HPLIP devices. This functionality matches how most distros set device permissions.

Detailed Change Log

1. Fixed missing LJm1005 ppds.
2. Move plugin PPDs into hpijs.drv.
3. Fixed distros.dat to include python-qt4 dependency in SuSE11

5. Added qt3/qt4 configure flags to hplip.conf.
6. Replaced "MODE 0666" udev device permissions with console permissions via HAL. This means only the console user has device access. Before all users had device access.
7. Fixed defect (Laserjet 4345 copy issues)
8. If scan plugin fails to load in hpaio send a dbus event.
9. Increased the soap scan plugin driver(s) read timeout for 1200dpi (ie: CLJ CM1017, LJ M1522).
10. Fixed defect (Photosmart 7550 color calibration doesn't work)
11. Fixed defect (Photosmart 7350 color calibration doesn't work)

16. Fixed defect ("hp-fab -i" causes traceback during "edit" and adding new group)
17. Fixed all users of device.py:open() to handle the exception that it throws.
18. Added hp_color_laserjet_cp1514n to models.dat and plugin.spec

• Simplified and made consistent the way commandline programs (hp-*) check and handle device URI and printer name parameters.

• Put in place the necessary infrastructure to support the addition of Qt4 user interfaces in an upcoming release.

• Made improvements in how commandline programs (hp-*) handle the configure flags for gui build, scan build, and fax build.

1. Replaced the doc directory with an abbreviated web document. See hplip.sf.net for full online documentation. This made the HPLIP download and footprint a lot smaller.
2. Redesigned the proprietary plugin support. There is now only one plugin that is valid for each for each HPLIP release. The plugin is a self contained run file that can be installed manually or automatically with hp-setup.
3. Added ESP Package Manager (EPM) support to the HPLIP Makefile. The EPM list file (hplip.list) supports building rpm, deb and portable binary packages from the tar ball.
4. As requested by Till Kamppeter, added a new program (dat2drv.py) for building printer xml files that are compatible with the foomatic database. The xml files represent all HP products supported by HPLIP.
5. Changed the hpijs.drv to support PPDs with multiple products. For example the "Deskjet 5900 series" will have one PPD file called "hp-deskjet_5900_series", and this PPD file supports 4 different products or models (ie: DeskJet 5938, DeskJet 5940, DeskJet 5940xi and DeskJet 5943). Each model is listed inside the PPD with the "Product" attribute.
6. Fixed defect (Driver Plug-in install fail and a 'plug-in install failed' window pops up both in download pulg-in and use the exisiting plug-in file when setup the hp color laserjet cp1518ni via network with hplip-2.8.6.12. )
7. Fixed defect (An error occurs and traceback display after running "hp-sendfax --fax=*" in terminal.)
8. Fixed defect (Traceback information display in terminal when run "hp-plugin" and choose "Download" then click "Download and Install".)
9. Updated hpmud to handle key value pairs with spaces around the "=" character in hplip.conf as requested by Don Welch.
10. Fixed defect (The "Plug-in installation failed" window pops up after clicking "Copy and Install" button.)
11. Fixed defect (Traceback display in terminal and the fax job can't be send in non-interactive with suse 10.3)
12. Added gnomesu support
13. Added DryTime option to most of the VIP device classes in hpijs.drv.
14. Removed unused libraries from hplip shared libraries and executable applications.
15. Fixed defect (An error infomation displayed in terminal and the result of scan can't be send by email when run "hp-scan -n --email-from=****@beyondsoft.com --email-to=****@beyondsoft.com ")
16. Fixed defect (The "Download and Install" button cannot clickable after re-check operation.)
17. Fixed defect (An error occurs when executing "./hplip-2.8.6-plugin.run" in terminal.)
18. Fixed defect (Traceback message displays when run "hp-info -p*" in terminal.)
19. Fixed defect (Traceback appears in terminal when running hp-toolbox by common user on IGOS 1.0.)

2. There appears to be a CUPS issue with # of copies, borders, page-set, etc options not working properly in CUPS versions 1.3.0-1.3.6. Upgrading to CUPS 1.3.7 appears to fix the issue.

HPLIP 2.8.4 - This release has the following changes:

Significant Changes

1. dbus communication support. All interprocess communication now occurs using the dbus message bus. python-dbus version 0.80 or greater is required.

2. Elimination of all persistent startup daemons. hpssd has been replaced with hp-systray that loads as a user startup item in the system tray in each user's desktop environment. When no HPLIP tools are running (e.g., hp-toolbox), and the user closes or disables hp-systray, there will be no HPLIP processes running whatsoever. Consequently, there is no longer an /etc/init.d/hplip startup script, and no processes need be run at system startup time.

3. PC send fax requires dbus support and a running hp-systray to operate. Only Linux distributions that have python-dbus 0.80 or greater support PC send fax as of this release.

18. Replaced "pragma pack(1)" with "__attribute__((packed))" in all C/C++ structures. This was needed for the ARM gcc compiler.

19. Removed the libusb little-endian conversion in hpiod. This conversion was not needed for big-endian systems because the usbfs takes care of the big-endian to little-endian conversion.

20. Added SANE_DEBUG_HPAIO support to libsane-hpaio. Setting the SANE_DEBUG_HPAIO environment variable will display the following messages to stderr.

- SANE_DEBUG_HPAIO=2   (error messages)
- SANE_DEBUG_HPAIO=6   (error messages + device info)
- SANE_DEBUG_HPAIO=8   (error messages + device info + sane api calls)

The following command will display all hpaio messages while running xsane.

SANE_DEBUG_HPAIO=8 xsane

For third-party applications, the preferred way to read the models.dat file is to use the hplip_api. The hplip_api can be used to get model attributes without running the HPLIP daemons. See hplip_api.h for reference.
44. Fixed defect (These Examples in usage of hp-setup that would work in non-interactive mode should specify -i parameter.)
45. Fixed defect (hp-print UI not usable on 800x600 screen w/GNOME)
46. Applied 'hplip-loop' patch from Tim Waugh [changes hpssd.py async loop timeout from 0.5 to 5.0 sec]

With SUSE 10.1 if hp-setup fails to create the print queue, and displays the dialog box "failed to create printer queue, please restart CUPS." and restarting CUPS does not resolve the issue. You can update CUPS to 1.2.7 as a work around for this issue.

Files (and an optional coverpage) may be sent by running the send fax UI directly or by printing through the supplied HP Fax CUPS backend from any application or by using lp/lpr. A CUPS queue configured with the HP Fax CUPS backend (hpfax:) must be separately set up for faxing to operate.
2. Added HP Setup utility. This new utility (hp-setup) can quickly and automatically setup print and/or fax queues for HPLIP supported devices. It will automatically choose the closest matching PPD file, print a testpage, and set up a fax queue and allow the user to perform basic fax setup (TTI header setup) if appropriate.
