+Since 2.2 release, Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * automatic filtering: if the input file format is not directly supported
+ by the print spooler, kdeprint will try to convert the file to the
+ primary supported input format (usually PostScript). To achieve this,
+ kdeprint uses the available filters (defined in XML files) and tries to
+ build up a filter chain.
+ * mime type checking: when building a filter chain, kdeprint checks that
+ each output format is supported as an input by the next filter
+ * possibility to specify input file from the print dialog in StandAlone
+ mode (like XPP)
+ * kmvirtualmanager.cpp: KMPrinter::Virtual is only set for pure virtual
+ printers (== non empty instance name). This makes KPrinter::isVirtual()
+ more useful.
+ * CUPS plugin:
+ - support for quotas and user access restrictions (in wizard and
+ print manager)
+ - added missing options in server configuration tool
+ * Possibility to use an external preview program (still need a GUI to
+ configure this).
+ * print dialog: possibility to select the files to print in standalone
+ mode (like XPP).
+
+27/08/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * implementation of "Schedule" tab in print dialog for the CUPS plugin
+ (job-hold-until attribute).
+ * Printer aliases are now handled gracefully in the LPR plugin (they
+ are actually discarded)
+ * kprinter.cpp: implementation of setPrintProgram() as:
+ setOption("kde-isspecial", "1");
+ setOption("kde-special-command", cmd);
+
+28/08/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * implementation of KPrintAction, which provides a quick access to
+ a class of printers (special, regular or both). An application just
+ needs to create a KPrintAction anc connect to print(KPrinter*).
+
+31/08/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * CUPS plugin: fix crash for Qt3 port, must check if attr->name is NULL
+ before comparing it with strcmp or strncmp.
+
+12/09/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * Management library: set all toolbars non movable to avoid move handles
+
+13/09/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * CUPS plugin: fix multiple showing of password dialog for password-
+ protected printers (timer is now blocked when the password dialog is
+ shown)
+
+14/09/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * CUPS plugin: configuration wizard rewritten using the structure of
+ ESP PrintPro: more consistent, less pages and widgets. Not used as
+ default config wizard yet.
+ * QList -> QPtrList
+
+25/09/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * CUPS plugin: made the new configuration wizard as default one.
+ * other QList -> QPtrList fixes (committed to CVS)
+ * Avoid to call plugin functions "completePrinter<xxx>" for pseudo
+ printers (to not confuse the CUPS daemon for example)
+ * Improved how the default printer is selected in print dialog to
+ work in any cases
+ * General: make use of KLocale::pageSize() to determine the default
+ page size (used for example for pseudo printers and classes)
+ * Wizard: fix buffer overflow when adding a remote LPD queue having
+ a lot of jobs waiting
+
+03/10/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * CUPS plugin: make use of GET/PUT request to handle configuration
+ file. Possibility to admin a remote CUPS server (if allowed)
+ * CUPS plugin: added "/jobs" in the available resources list
+
+09/10/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * CUPS plugin: added 2 missing pages in stand-alone mode, "Image"
+ and "Text".
+
+10/10/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * CUPS plugin: "HP-GL/2" page added
+ * General: added a GUI to configure the preview program, into the
+ config dialog of the print manager
+
+12/10/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * general: added the possibility for a plugin to add new actions
+ to the toolbar and context menu (main use = export driver in
+ CUPS).
+ * CUPS plugin: added support to export driver to Windows client
+ through samba. Threaded operation with progress bar to notify
+ the user. Graphical equivalent to cupsaddsmb from cups-1.1.11.
+
+16/10/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * CUPS plugin: removed the "file" backend as it doesn't seem to
+ be available since a couple of releases, and added a "Other"
+ page to the wizard for any third-party backend (like pdf).
+
+18/10/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * kdeprintfax: don't hardcode program path, use the $PATH variable
+ first to find the program. Default to /usr/bin if not found.
+
+02/11/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * CUPS plugin:
+ . fix for remote printers when there's also a local
+ printer with the same name: the printer-uri-supported
+ is not used by default anymore
+ . implementation of IPP report for installed printers
+ as well as detected IPP printers on the network (in
+ the wizard)
+
+05/11/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * kdeprintfax: added possibility to view files being faxed and
+ file action (remove and view) are enabled only when needed.
+ * KPrinter: when printing to a file, support encoding and spaces
+ in file names + system --> KProcess.
+
+07/11/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * kdeprint: fixed some problems:
+ . collate entirely handled by kdeprint, even in the case
+ of page selection on application-side.
+ . set KPrinter object in KPrintDialog before adding other
+ dialog pages (some pages may need it)
+ * wizard: changed button layout and added a side graphic. Not
+ committed as the graphic comes from HP driver (copyright).
+
+08/11/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * CUPS plugin:
+ . complete IPP report for job added
+ . implementation of dynamically added plugin menus for
+ jobs in the job viewer (used for IPP report)
+ . printer infos are now retrieved from the correct host
+ for remote printers and classes (idem for IPP report)
+ * general: implementation of a DCOP signal communication to
+ synchronize all kdeprint apps, a plugin change in one app is
+ notified to all other opened apps (via DCOP).
+ * kicker extension: made extension aware of plugin change in
+ other apps (using new DCOP signal comm).
+
+09/11/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * CUPS plugin: added the possibility to list jobs on remote
+ printers. No management is allowed on remote jobs (yet?).
+
+10/11/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * general: use KShellProcess::quote() for any quoting. Normally,
+ all quoting problem should be fixed now.
+
+12/11/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * CUPS: redesigned the "cups-add-smb" dialog to make it more
+ user-driendly.
+
+13/11/2001 Michael GOffioul <[email protected]>
+ * general: implementation of a KActiveLabel class to embed active
+ links in labels. Clicking on it "exec" the associated URL.
+ * general: make use of KActiveLabel in the first page of the
+ "add-printer" wizard.
+ * CUPS: make use of KActiveLabel in the "cups-add-smb" wizard.
+ * wizard: SMB printers with space in their name are now shown
+ correctly when scanning the network (however it should be
+ avoided as smbspool seems to be unable to handle it).
+
+14/11/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * ioslave: uploaded new templates from Chris (which adds support
+ for pseudo printers
+ * manager: modified RootOnly message for better consistency between
+ "root" and "administrator" concepts
+ * print dialog: updated accels (general, Qt, copies and other CUPS
+ pages)
+ * print dialog:
+ . file selection: line edit -> listview
+ . file selection made as print dialog page and inserted at
+ the same level than "Copies"
+ . added hiding mechanism to make the dialog more compact
+ (show/hide button can probably be improved)
+
+15/11/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * CUPS: drivers are now downloaded from the actual server for remote
+ printers. This allows to have access to all options set for any
+ printer (even remote ones). However remote printer's drivers are
+ kept read-only.
+
+16/11/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * print dialog: instances are now presented in a tree structure in
+ the combo box -> cleaner view.
+ * general: ported the use of a global instance file to 2.2 branch
+ (file is /etc/cups/lpoptions).
+ * CUPS: added support for Adobe PPD file compliance (foomatic will
+ introduce them very soon in normal distributions), where numerical
+ options are mapped into enum options. KDEPrint still uses the
+ numerical option and update the corresponding enum one with the
+ closest value.
+
+21/11/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * job viewer: clicking on 'x' button only hide the job viewer but
+ doesn't quit the app. To quit, either use menu item (from window
+ or system tray) or accel when job viewer is visible.
+ * general: print preview has been embedded in a real dialog, so that
+ it is always centered on its parent now. It also have the dialog
+ buttons in title bar (no minimize).
+
+23/11/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * job management: the job management has been re-engineered to follow
+ the paradigm "1 window == 1 queue". There's still the possibility to
+ view jobs for all printers within a single window. This should enhance
+ the usability of job management tools (I hope).
+
+26/11/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * job management: job type (active/completed) is now handled on a
+ printer basis instead of a global property of the manager. This allows
+ different windows to show different job type, and also ease the
+ management of "All Printers" windows.
+ * job management: sorting jobs on numerical values is fixed (ID,
+ size, ...)
+ * job management: added the possibility to customize (from the plugin)
+ what's shown as job attributes. New attributes can be added. This
+ will be used for priority support in CUPS plugin.
+ * job management: re-engineered how dynamic plugin actions are handled
+ internally to fix problems when dealing with several windows opened.
+ This new mechanism should also be applied to print management dynamic
+ actions (more consistent).
+
+28/11/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * special printers: added the possibility to have configurable options
+ in pseudo-printers. Options are described in an additional XML file
+ (like filters) and configured through an "Advanced" tab in the property
+ dialog. TODO: graphical configuration widget + apply KXmlCommand to
+ normal filters.
+
+29/11/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * general: fixed sorting of options in driver view. They should be shown
+ in order of appearance now.
+ * general: make use of the new KXmlCommand class for filters too.
+ * filters: removed the "Page Size" from the options of enscript filter,
+ this is taken from the KPrinter object now.
+
+04/12/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * general: finalized the new XML command mechanism:
+ . graphical command builder
+ . pseudo-printers and filters are completely based on new XML
+ object, though old style is supported (only requirements from
+ previous mechanism are not used).
+ . KPrintFilter and KMFilterManager are now obsolete and replaced
+ by KXmlCommand and KXmlCommandManager respectively.
+ * kdeprintfax: made the log window a "real" log window. It is dynamically
+ refreshed on new debug output arrival (suggested by user).
+
+10/12/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * general: make use of "Detail" mechanism of KDialogBase in XML command
+ editor.
+
+11/12/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * instances: for root, instances are saved in global file
+ /etc/cups/lpoptions. This allows to easily create global instances
+ (just be root and create the instance).
+ * pseudo-printers: for root, pseudo printers are saved in a global
+ file, such that root is able to manage global pseudo printers. Locale
+ pseudo printers still override global ones if they have the same name.
+
+12/12/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * general: added error messages when the printer list cannot be retrieved
+ in print manager and print dialog. With CUPS, if the server is not
+ running, an error message is shown to the user.
+ * CUPS: disabled all backends if no server is running.
+
+13/12/2001 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * general: preleminary support for external printer tool. Only escputil
+ at this moment.
+
+03/01/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * general:
+ . added a "ID name" label to the first dialog for command editing
+ . put "View Printer Infos" in front of orientation and view type
+ change (more logical)
+ . added a confirmation dialog before sending a test page to a
+ printer (printer and instance test)
+ . added a short summary below the command selector containing the
+ ID and the output type ("not allowed" if no output supported).
+ . added a WhatsThis help to the "Instances" tab briefly explaining
+ what's an instance.
+
+09/01/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * general: when filtering, the file type is checked against supported
+ formats. If the format is not supported, a warning is issued and the
+ user has the possibility to auto-convert the file to a supported
+ format. Consequence: you can now safely perform page selection on any
+ file type with any printer and any spooler, kdeprint will try to convert
+ the file to PS.
+ * preview dialog: rewrote the code in a cleaner way, avoiding the use
+ of a non toplevel main window. Preview dialog looks simpler now. New
+ issue: toolbuttons overlap the toolbar border (only for toolbar not
+ children of main window).
+ * general: made the "Files" page a standard page in KPrinter. Modified
+ kprinter's code to add that page -> will be easier to remove it when
+ implementing a "--stdin" option.
+ * kprinter:
+ . added a "--stdin" option. If this option is set, only printing
+ from stdin is allowed and the "Files" tab is hidden. Can be used in
+ Netscape. If files are given on the command line, this option is
+ forced unset.
+ . added a "--nodialog" option for quick print.
+ . added the persistent feature (with some code rewrite in kdeprint
+ library)
+
+10/01/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * general: added (temporary) workaround for drawing problems in fixed
+ toolbars, until a real fix gets implemented:
+ static_cast<QWidget*>(tb)->layout()->setMargin(1);
+ * general: started to used new icons provided by Bogdan, for the toolbar
+ * general: added KPrinter::autoConfigure(), to automatically configure
+ a KPrinter object without the need for a print dialog.
+
+14/01/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * slave: made case-insensitive for backward compatibility (old URLs may
+ come from history). Now print:/Classes should work OK.
+ * CUPS: moved the IPP report to an separate dialog and added the
+ possibility to print the result.
+
+15/01/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * started the implementation of a new LPR/LPRng plugin: this implementation
+ is designed to be modular to provide support for various systems like
+ Foomatic, APSFilter, GNUlpr or Printtool(RH).
+
+17/01/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * LPR: first implementation of a job manager. Make use of asynchronous
+ lpc and lpq processes. Major problem: delay between new state and
+ screen update due to the fact that data are started to be updated when
+ the info is needed for showing. As data are retrieved asynchronously,
+ they are not available for the update.
+ * general: clean up refresh code of the job viewer
+ * KPrinter: added the DocFileName feature (suggested by David) to define
+ the default basename for output file.
+ * test: updated to Qt3 and demonstrate the use of the DocFileName feature
+
+21/01/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * LPR: added basic implementation of a KPrinterImpl object -> plugin is
+ functional (though far from complete...)
+
+22/01/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * kdeprintfax: make use of new address book (libkabc) instead of the old
+ one (libkab).
+
+29/01/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * LPR: enhancement of the APSFilter handler. Still missing: setup the
+ options in the print command line
+ * wizard: removed the garbage '&' in last page
+ * general: added SMB util functions -> to be used whenever it's
+ possible (CUPS plugin, Foomatic handler => TO BE DONE)
+
+30/01/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * general: use QGuardedPtr to keep KPrinterImpl object in KPrinter, this
+ should avoid some crashes.
+ * LPR:
+ . added print options for APSFilter handler
+ . make use of smb-url conversion functions in Foomatic handler
+ . fix problem with rmote lpd queues: force lp=<empty string> in
+ printcap entry
+
+07/02/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * job viewer: fix crash when switching the print plugin elsewhere and
+ there's some jobs shown + fix refresh problem when switching plugin
+ * general: fix small bug when removing a filter in "Filters" page
+ * general: discard the toolbar use in the "Instances" page to avoid the
+ problem with non-docked vertical toolbars. Use plain QPushButton
+ instead, but this has some drawing problems in HighColor style.
+
+11/02/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * LPR: added support for LPRngTool+IFHP (not complete yet though)
+ * general: various fixes for crashes, inconsistencies, ...
+
+12/02/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * kdeprintfax: added %email to possible command tags. The e-mail address
+ is retrieved from standard settings in KControl module. The tag can
+ also be used in the "Name" field of the options dialog
+ * LPR: completion of the LPRngTool handler + implementation of dynamic
+ driver directories (to be done: should also be configurable in the
+ options dialog)
+ * general: Fixed bug -> XML commands couild not be saved
+ * CUPS: FontPath directive is now considered as a string list, multiple
+ directives are supported and a listview is used in the GUI
+ * CUPS: configuration tool now handles gracefully unrecognized options,
+ a warning is issued, and they are restored as-is on file saving.
+
+13/02/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * CUPS: added support for job-billing and page-label, and put them
+ along with the scredule option into a single "Advanced" tab.
+ * CUPS: added job billing info to the job viewer
+ * CUPS: added job priority selection in the Advanced tab of the print
+ dialog
+ * general: allow multi selection in the file list of print dialog
+
+14/02/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * CUPS: added the possibility to edit job attributes on-the-fly using
+ a dialog similar to the printer properties dialog. Still the be fixed:
+ page ranges (problem with option encoding in CUPS).
+
+15/02/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * general: fixed infinite recursion bug in KIconSelectAction
+ * CUPS: temporarily disabled edition of page-ranges as it seems CUPS is
+ buggy. I should find a workaround.
+ * general (CUPS): enable some actions for jobs on remote hosts. It seems
+ to work OK between my local LM-8.1 and a remote LM-7.2.
+
+16/02/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * CUPS: added direct Foomatic driver support (no need the all PPD package
+ from foomatic anymore, driver are loaded directly from Foomatic)
+
+17/02/2002 Michael GOffioul <[email protected]>
+ * preview:
+ . better algorithm to find a preview object
+ . more comprehensive error report
+ . possibility to cancel printing even with external PS viewers
+ * general: added the backend stuff for printer filtering, needs GUI
+ -> allows to only show a selected set of printers
+
+18/02/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * general: simple printer filtering mechanism based on printer name
+ and location regexp. Graphical configuration for printer name.
+
+19/02/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * general:
+ . completion of the printer filtering mechanism (added location
+ string filter)
+ . notification system between applications when config file has
+ changed
+ . possibility to open the main option dialog from print dialog
+ (for example to change the filter or default preview program)
+ . added icon on push buttons when useful
+ . changed plugin names to kdeprint_* (stripped the leading "lib")
+
+20/02/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * slave: prevent konqueror to consider a trailing slash as a directory
+ specification (simply add a config entry in protocol file)
+ * general: large UI standardization by making use of KDialogBase along
+ with KGuiItem
+ * kicker menu: possibility to open main Options Dialog from the menu
+
+21/02/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * general: splitted the printer state into enable/disable and start/stop
+ and modified the GUI to reflect this
+ * general: removed the KMManager::configure(), obsoleted by the complete
+ options dialog being shown
+ * kicker extension: extension of the menu plugin to allow access to the
+ server configuration tool as well as the "kprinter" utility.
+
+25/02/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * LPR: added printer testing support
+
+26/02/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * general: printer filtering specs are now ORed instead of ANDed
+ * general: changed "Advanced" to "Driver Settings"
+ * CUPS: fixed RIPCache problem, added support for possible suffixes
+
+27/02/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * CUPS: workaround to allow special characters in login/password without
+ breaking security. Possible now to use safely chars like '@' and '/'
+ in login.
+ * general: added a check box in the config dialog to enable/disable
+ font embedding into PS data (compatible with Qt settings).
+
+28/02/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * general: job viewer updated correctly on plugin reload -> additional
+ columns and "history" action state
+ * general: internal *Settings objects are synchonized on config changes
+ (CupsInfos and LprSettings)
+ * general: improved feedback to user when creating driver DB
+ * CUPS: speed optimization when creating driver DB (simple hack to avoid
+ to parse the entire PPD file each time => much better)
+ * kdeprintfax: added "-n" and "-f %email" by default for the Hylafax
+ system
+ * general: various small UI improvements (suggested by Thomas)
+
+02/03/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * general: modified the driver structure to support dynamic options
+ as in SuSE
+ * LPR: more management support for SuSE handler -> drver settings can
+ be modified now.
+ * general: needed stuff to provide translations for filters (Coolo will
+ now extract the strings from XML files for translators)
+
+10/03/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * CUPS: allow any integer value for RIPCache + don't upload the cupsd.conf
+ with wrong settings
+
+*****************
+* KDE-3 RELEASE *
+*****************
+
+(CeBIT) Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * Fix various crashes:
+ . when changing the CUPS server (notify registered object before
+ reloading)
+ . when building the driver DB: don't destroy the progress dlg
+ * job viewer: possibility to view only the jobs of the current user
+ * CUPS: "dynamic" changing of the text margins in the preview using
+ rubber bands
+ * general: started generealization of a margin widget to configure the
+ margins of the KPrinter object
+
+25/03/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * general: do not use pointers in various views, to avoid dangling
+ pointers (and crashes) when changing something (plugin, config file, ...).
+ This makes the aboutToReload functions quite useless, but it has to
+ be tested.
+ * general: finished the generic print margins widget to be used in non
+ full page mode. Requires a patched Qt (hope TrollTech will add the
+ missing setMargins soon) -> cannot be committed.
+ * general: added help button to the wizard and the print dialog. They
+ are connected to the main help (should probably add an anchor to go
+ directly to the associated part).
+ * kdeprintfax: more support/sync with standard addressbook:
+ . possibility to start the ab editor from kdeprintfax
+ . make use of the "Organization" field as enterprise
+ . fix problem with empty phone number (ex: no business fax).
+
+26/03/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * kdeprintfax:
+ . added support for Mgetty-sendfax
+ . added support for page size in filters
+ . make use of the localized page size as default
+ . regrouped the options in the option dialog for more
+ consistency
+ . added support for scheduling in HylaFax and Mgetty-sendfax
+ . bugfix in logview: behaves safely when closed using the title
+ bar button
+
+27/03/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * general: created a separate "Fonts" section in the KDEPrint settings
+ dialog and removed the "Embed Fonts" option from the general section
+ (moved to the new section).
+ * kdeprintfax: fixed disabled background for "Comment" widget, use QBrush
+ instead of QColor. OK with styles like Liquid.
+
+28/03/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * general: added a user feedback mechanism in the form of a dialog showgin
+ status messages, including initialization, number of the page currently
+ generated, filtering and sending to the printer.
+
+29/03/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * general: enhanced the status feedback mechanism
+ . possibility to have multiple status boxes (one for each app)
+ . added an icon (eye-candy) and the document name being printed
+ . made it configurable in the options dialog
+ * general: possibility to use the default printer on first print instead
+ of the last printer used. Configurable in the options dialog. Now, I
+ should probably re-add the "Set as default" button.
+ * print dialog: re-added the "Set as default" button in the case the
+ user default printer is used on first print instead of the last used
+ printer (it does make sense again to have it)
+ * general: added a small (but useful) information string about the
+ current plugin below the plugin combobox (ex: in CUPS, shows the current
+ server:port).

+ reloading when something has changed
+ * print dialog: added buttons to move files up and down
+ * CUPS: added a generic job tagging mechanism in the form of an additional
+ tab in the print dialog. It contain a 2-columns table where custom tags

+ * manager: show instances as children of the real printer in the tree view.

+ printers together (-> print:/jobs)

+ * CUPS: allows editing of page-ranges for pending jobs, work around
+ small problem in CUPS.
+ * LPR:
+ . added a "ppdfile" field in printcap file for Foomatic drivers
+ with LPRng. This should make printers created with KDEPrint
+ work with gpr (from GNUlpr)
+ . added support for "bool" directives in Foomatic drivers
+
+23/05/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * job manager: added the possibility to control the username for jobs
+ filtering, and the possibility to limit the number of jobs shown.
+
+16/08/2002 Michael Goffioul <[email protected]>
+ * filters/command: added the possibility to have comments about a specific
+ command, including clickable URL's. Modified the command selector to use
+ those comments.
+ * commands: added the "poster" command, but based on a modified version
+ of the original program. Still need to publish it somehow.
+ * job viewer: added possibility to drop files on the job viewer to print
+ them.
+ * print dialog: use the correct extension for output file in all cases,
+ even on first dialog showing (call slotPrinterSelected after setting
+ the output file name).
+

+ * print dialog:
+ . added a method to disable a page in the main dialog

+ sub-menus.

+ internal PS viewer or any other registered app will be used,
+ according to the user preferences.

+ * commands: make unavailability of a command more visual by showing a
+ red text, and disabling the OK button of the current dialog (only
+ if needed).

+ * CUPS: shows all possible URI detected by CUPS when selecting the "Others"
+ printer type in the wizard, like the web interface is doing.
