New features: can play audio files.
lpd then acts like a jukebox.
Remote Audio printing/playing is at experimental stage (untested).
Theoretically it should be possible that multiple print clients
feed the central print server with sound card with audio files.

I added the missing changes for manual config.
- Depend on acroread7 instead of acroread5.
Acroread5 is outdated and marked BROKEN due to multiple security issues
So the port didn't build/install
- changed manual config and batch mode
- portrevision bump

This patch allows the admin of the machine to choose either
print/ghostscript-gnu or print/ghostscript-afp1
Please note that the wrong version of this patch (the one with afp1
instead of afpl) had already been applied by andreas@. I've updated
this to fix it.

- update apsfilters acroread search order to use acroread5 in the 1st place
- bump PORTREVISION
- tested installation and package-building
- important bugfixrelease
- unbreaks windows/novell/appletalk remote printing
- explanation: permissions 600 root:daemon
were too strong for smbclient & Co.'s config files...
- fix: teach SETUP to use 640 root:daemon as default
- If that's still not sufficient, 'hack' SETUP
and fine tune the new global PASSWD_PROTECT=640 variable.
this is mainly a BUGFIX Release
NEW FEATURES
- some ijs driver scripts got more differentiation
concerning options for print quality.
DOCUMENTATION
- wrong manual reference in apsfilter manpage, changed from
smbprint(1) to smbclient(1)
- apsfilter handbook got a path fix and cosmetic changes
- support for ijs 1.1 and later (prior 1.0 and later)
BUG FIXES
- driver/stp/escp2-440
- set traditional umask in SETUP (022) just for the case
somebodies root account has strange default settings not
to end up with screwed permissions, that make printing
impossible.
- update driver MAPPINGS
CODE IMPROVEMENTS
- partly cosmetic, get rid of GS_MODEL
- modified gs_cmnd
with too restricive umask settings like '026'.
- bumped port revision, since this unbreaks installation under
non-default root environments
Submitted by: Martin.Kraemer@Fujitsu-Siemens.com
added dependency to print/hpijs, since the ijs driver isn't automatically
installed anymore when installing ghostscript
- therefore bumped portrevision
* update to apsfilter 7.2.3
* contains two major bugfixes
a) printing using newest HP IJS driver is fixed (PR 37085)
the fix has been taken from other source but PR should be resolved
b) printing to a remote windows printer via samba is fixed
there was a nasty typo in the apsfilter script ($SMP_IP -> $SMB_IP)
* other changes
- new gimp-print driver / ijsgimpprint
- add new pretty command to set text-to-PostScript highlight level
- fix "remote copies" parameter to lpr
- clean up template apsfilterrc
* FreeBSD/port related things:
- could close all problems report
- PR 34153: fixed configure script: a permanent runtime dependency
to bzip2 is inappropriate on FreeBSD systems that have bzip2 in
the base system.
* For a list of all changes please look at ANNOUNCE and ChangeLog file

Important fixes for FreeBSD
Patches from files subdir went into this new release
General fixes:
- remove apsfilter installation error when typing "make install"
by using ln's -f (force) option to overwrite an existing symlink
(just in case you overwrite another installation).
- fix some HP driver mapping in MAPPING file
FreeBSD specific fixes:
- make apspreview work again for FreeBSD (and possibly *BSD).
BSD uses a sed implementation, that uses only "normal" regular
expressions for backward compatibility not to break existing scripts.
Linux (GNU sed) uses "modern REs". We use now awk which turns out
to be more portable between different Unix flavours.
We use awk instead of sed in other scripts as well (SETUP,
aps2file).
- import a patch from FreeBSD ports collection necessary for
FreeBSD-current to use "user:group" syntax for chown. Old
style "user.group" to change owner && group isn't supported
anymore. Linux's implementation of chown (from GNU) groks
new syntax.
Please note: hpijs 1.0 driver core dumps have been fixed by me some
hours ago with the kind help of HP. So you can now savely
use the new HPIJS driver with gs and apsfilter. Have fun.
- update to new version 7.2.0
- update pkg-plist (4 new bjc driver scripts, apsfilter4.png)
- update SETUP patch for FreeBSD-current (chown xxx:yyy syntax, which
is currently not included in apsfilter, am unsure, if all Linux and
Solaris support this, can somebody please clarify ? Thanks)
Highlights of the new apsfilter version (new features):
- printing to Novell remote printer supported, now apsfilter supports
all important types of remote printer (Novell, Unix/lpd, Microsoft,
AppleTalk)
- save network traffic by telling remote lpd and Netware printer scheduler,
to manage copies of a print jobs themselves, this saves you sending
a print job n times over the network (when printing with:
"lpr -C copies=20 large_file.ps"
- Testinstallations of apsfilter under $HOME for testing/migration
planning supported. Test then using aps2file ...
This works for non-root user. configure knows 2 new options for
that purpose, to customize printcap and spooldir location under
$HOME, /tmp or whereever, you get the idea
FIXES:
- BJC script fixes, never ending story, 4 new subtypes of printers
with different print capabilities.
- Security: SETUP uses secure tmpdir
- you can rename printer now or add printer aliases now
aps2file and apspreview understand now to handle aliases (this was
tricky/expensive but doable)
- different fixes see ANNOUNCE / ChangeLog file
The interactive script will be updated later.
Don't bump port revision, since next following commit
will contain new apsfilter release, that is now in the
queue, before I finished polishing interactive installartion.
But I didn't want to mix this change and the new apsfilter
version in one commit.
Since the `.' seperator has been deprecated for a while now,
the chown command fails - at least under -current.
Changed his patch to patch actually SETUP.in and not the
resulting file SETUP after running configure.

Bugfix release and new cool features
New: apspreview script and manpage -> allows you to preview your print
session using gv, kghostview or ghostview (in that order).
If the result fits your needs you can of course directly print
from within these viewers using lpr -C and using apsfilter options
New: "apsfilter-bug" utility which supports you to release a helpful
bug- or problem report for us developers. Its the first release
and certainly will get useful updates in the future.
Detects automatically the apsfilter version you use (-current or
-stable) and sends mail to proper mailinglist apsfilter-current
or apsfilter-stable mailinglist.
New: handbook and manpage updates / cleanups.
More guidance how to release a bug report using apsfilter-bug(1)
apsfilter manpage documents now all print options (-C/-Z option)
supported by apsfilter
Fixes (Prio)
- (HIGH) unbreak hardware duplex printing for all true Postscript printer
- (MEDIUM) pcl3/u970 driver fix for (hardware) duplex printing.
Comment: not tested due to hardware fault of our duplex device.
Would appreciate some feedback. pcl3 driver is very picky about
combination of gs driver options. The options currently in use
have been selected from pcl3 handbook to our best knowledge.
- (HIGH) New ljet4 driver for LaserJet4 style lasers. Previously it used
the cdeskjet driver, which was wrong.
- (HIGH) a2ps sometimes delegates print jobs to other applications even
if user wanted to force ASCII printing (using lpr -C ascii).
This breaks for example printing of Latex Sources.
a2ps will now be executed with "--delegate=no". Fixed !
I encourage everybody to use this new version.
Later version perhaps will get some more generic printer_add/mod/del
commands as prerequisite for perhaps other graphical admin tools.
For that we could need some help from webmin, TCL/TK or gtk GUI
wizards ... Thats usually not my business ;-)
- new design: use GNU configure alike script (without the bloat) for
creating different files (scripts, manpages, handbook, Makefile).
now paths are 100% matching.
- create portable Makefile across various platforms
- manpage update, supported file types, commandline options (lpr -C/-Z),
docu fixes
- some fixes in driver (hl1250, bjc600/800)
BTW: Need assistance for duplex options for pcl3 u970 driver
(HP DeskJet 970C). My duplex hardware is toast. If you set
HARDWARE_DUPLEX in apsfilterrc, then you are able to use duplex
capabilities. pcl driver explains what magic options have to be set,
but I think it doesn't work ... If somebody has the hardware/time ...
Current settings are done from documentation to my best knowledge.
and stdout.
Therefore we have to use bash as shell for /usr/local/bin/aps2file
program.
Arrange things with patch and pre-configure command, so that this
port stays prefix-clean.
The patch inserts !!PREFIX!!/bin/bash and configure configures in
the current PREFIX settings.
I'd whish somebody could fix our shell to remove the dependency from bash.
- patch-SETUP is included in 7.0.1 (we don't provide insane defaults anymore)
- support for HPIJS V 1.0 ("IJS" driver)
- still supporting old HPIJS driver ("HPIJS" driver)
- some more sanity checks in SETUP (check is print device is character special)
- added bjc800 driver script, since it differs to bjc600 printer
- format of MAPFILE documented
- handbook has been updated
- compatible to 7.0.0 version, so old entries and spooldirs should work
after upgrade has been made
see ANNOUNCE and ChangeLog for a complete list:
- supports fully ghostscript7
- enhanced driver support, hpijs, pips, latest gimp-print, etc ...
- per driver scripts, where printer manufacturer *could* place
their driver/scripts, the case structure wasn't scaleable anymore
an led to incomplete support or to large apsfilter script
- unified command-line options, see handbook
- support for HARDWARE_COPIES if your printer can print multiple copies
himself
- option settings can be restricted by the administrator for all printer
or print queues (maybe to save print costs on color printers ...)
- support for many new filetypes
- print contens of archives: tar, cpio, ar, zip, zoo ...
- security: update for duplex print keys
- separate faq has gone, everything is in the handbook
- error messages can be sent to user now via Cc:
- no bugs so far ;-)
- place apsfilter distfiles into subdir apsfilter, since name of patchfile
doesn't contain string apsfilter. On my TODO list for future.
- update prio for apsfilter user: low (hint: try/test apsfilter-current
from http://www.apsfilter.org if you are looking for more printer
support and other goodies)
