# Howto make Source0:
# Visit http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/PPD/HP/ and note the directories
# which contain PPD files - for example:
#   http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/PPD/HP/all_in_one/
#   http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/PPD/HP/business_inkjet/
#   http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/PPD/HP/color_laser/
#   http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/PPD/HP/designjet/
#   http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/PPD/HP/mono_laser/
# Download only *.ppd files and ignore the Robot Exclusion Standard via /robots.txt
# and without --user-agent="" www.linuxprinting.org rejects it with "ERROR 403: Forbidden":
#   for d in all_in_one business_inkjet color_laser designjet mono_laser
#   do wget --user-agent="" --execute robots=off \
#           --recursive --level=1 \
#           --no-host-directories --no-directories --no-parent \
#           --accept "*.ppd*,*.PPD*" --directory-prefix=hp \
#           http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/PPD/HP/$d/
#   done
# Now all PPDs are in the same sub-directory "hp" (duplicates with *.ppd.1, *.ppd.2, ...).
# Remove old version PPDs (according to the file or directory-date at LinuxPrinting.org).
# Rename all PPDs to have the suffix .ppd (and not .ppd.1, .ppd.2, ...).
# Some PPDs may have MAC style cr line breaks. Recode or translate them to nl.
# Make a bzip2 compressed tar-archive of the remaining PPDs:
#   tar -cjvf hp.ppd.tar.bz2 hp/*.ppd
Source0:        hp.ppd.tar.bz2
# Howto make Source1:
# Visit http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/PPD/Oce/ and note the directory structure
# which contain PPD files - for example:
#    http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/PPD/Oce/*/1/
#    http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/PPD/Oce/Others/
# Download them (see Source0):
#   wget --user-agent="" --execute robots=off \
#        --recursive --level=3 \
#        --no-host-directories --no-directories --no-parent \
#        --accept "*.ppd*,*.PPD*" --directory-prefix=oce \
#        http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/PPD/Oce/
# Accept "*.ppd*" and "*.PPD*" otherwise newer vesions like "*.ppd.1" would be deleted.
# Now all PPDs are in the same sub-directory "oce".
# Newer versions of *.ppd are stored as *.ppd.1
# and some old versions of *.ppd are stored as *.PPD
# Some PPDs may have non-latin1 encoding. Recode them to lat1 (e.g.: "recode ibmpc..lat1").
# The "Others" PPDs are older versions.
# Keep only those "Others" PPDs for which there is no newer PPD.
# Make a bzip2 compressed tar-archive of them:
#   tar -cjvf oce.ppd.tar.bz2 oce/*.ppd
Source1:        oce.ppd.tar.bz2
# Howto make Source2:
# We got the initial PPDs as attachments in mails from Jens Stark <j.stark@esbc.sharp-eu.com>.
# After unpacking them store all PPDs in the same sub-directory "sharp".
# Some of the PPDs have identical NickName entries (i.e. are for the same models)
# and identical other entries except that the default media size options are different:
# Letter for the normal PPD and A4 for a Japanese version (with a "j" somehow in the file name).
# As the default media size options are changed to A4 during build, the Japanese version is removed
# if there is another PPD with identical NickName.
# New PPDs and updates of existing PPDs are at LinuxPrinting.org.
# Download the PPDs from LinuxPrinting.org:
#   wget --user-agent="" --execute robots=off \
#        --recursive --level=1 \
#        --no-host-directories --no-directories --no-parent \
#        --accept "*.ppd*,*.PPD*" --directory-prefix=sharp.new \
#        http://www.linuxprinting.org/foomatic-db/db/source/PPD//Sharp/
# Some PPDs may have non-latin1 encoding. Recode them to lat1 (e.g.: "recode ibmpc..lat1").
# Some PPDs may have CR LF line break. Remove the CR (e.g.: "tr -d '\r'").
# Copy the new PPDs into the directory "sharp".
# Check that all NickName entries are different to avoid duplicate PPDs
# (e.g. PPDs with same NickName entries but slightly different file names).
# Make a bzip2 compressed tar-archive of them:
#   tar -cjvf sharp.ppd.tar.bz2 sharp/*.ppd
Source2:        sharp.ppd.tar.bz2
# Howto make Source3:
# We got the PPDs as attachment in two mails from Vipa Nichapanich:
# 1. mail (new release because before they had a modified non-free MIT license):
#   From: vipa <vipa@eitc.epson.com>
#   Date: Wed, 3 Mar 2004 11:44:14 -0800
#   Subject: New Release of PostScriptTM printer description (PPD) files for Epson laser printers 
# 2. mail:
#   From: "Nichapanich, Vipaporn" <vipaporn.nichapanich@eitc.epson.com>
#   Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2005 15:57:55 -0700
#   Subject: New Epson PPD Files Available for Your Linux Distribution
# Additionally the epalc420.ppd was downloaded from
#   http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/dl_laser.html
# as http://lx1.avasys.jp/ppd/v111/epson_ppd-1.1.1.run which must be run as root,
# then it installs PPDs into /usr/share/cups/model/epson_ppd/ where only epalc420.ppd was new.
# After unpacking them and storing all PPDs in the same sub-directory "epson":
# Add a trailing blank to "are " in the license text in epalc260.ppd to have it same in all PPDs. 
# Make a bzip2 compressed tar-archive of them:
#   tar -cjvf epson.ppd.tar.bz2 epson/*.ppd
Source3:        epson.ppd.tar.bz2
# Howto make Source4:
# We got the initial PPDs as attachment in a mail from Markus Brauer <markus.brauer@ktde.de>.
# After unpacking them store all PPDs in the same sub-directory "kyocera".
# New PPDs and updates of existing PPDs are at LinuxPrinting.org.

Source5:        oki.ppd.tar.bz2
# Howto make Source6, Source7, Source8, Source9, Source10, Source11:
# All those PPDs are in fact Ricoh PPDs (but using different printer brand names).
# The PostScript PPDs are in the sub-directory "PS",
# the PCLXL PPDs are in the sub-directory "PXL".
# Almost all those PPDs require the foomatic-rip filter
# (even the PostScript PPDs to support usercode and secure print features).
# In http://www.linuxprinting.org/download/oldPPDs/ there are plain PostScript PPDs
# which do not require the foomatic-rip filter.
# Download the PPDs from LinuxPrinting.org:

# Final test by cupstestppd:

PPD files from printer manufacturers that are under a free license.

For example, the original MIT license, shown for example under
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php, is okay but not an
often used modified MIT license, which does not allow redistribution if
the file was altered in any way from its original form.

If you have a PostScript printer and there is no PPD file included in
this package, ask your printer manufacturer for a PPD file or visit
http://www.linuxprinting.org/ppd-doc.html.

%changelog
* Fri May 29 2009 jsmeix@suse.de
- Removed all TurbolinuxJapanesePPDs because all contain
  "cupsomatic" as "cupsFilter" but "cupsomatic" is outdated
  since a long time and no longer included in our up-to-date
  foomatic-filters version 4.0.1 package. It might work to
  create a symbolic link "cupsomatic -> foomatic-rip"
  in the /usr/lib[64]/cups/filter/ directory to still use
  outdated "cupsomatic" PPDs even with a current foomatic-rip
  but it was not tested to what extent this might work.

- Keep all PPDs even if cupstestppd FAILs.
  With each CUPS version upgrade cupstestppd finds more
  and more errors so that more and more PPDs would be
  no longer included in the RPM which have been included
  before which results a regression.
  As far as we know there have been no problems at all because of
  not strictly compliant PPDs in so that it is much better
  to provide all PPDs so that the matching printers can be used
  than to be rigorous regarding compliance to the PPD spec.
* Tue Sep 18 2007 jsmeix@suse.de
- Add a line-feed to the end of all PPDs to fix those PPDs where
  it is missing. See Novell/Suse Bugzilla bug #309832:
  Unix/Linux text files must end with a line-feed.
  Otherwise reading the last line results EOF and then some
  programs may ignore the last line.
* Wed Sep 12 2007 jsmeix@suse.de
- Ignore cupstestppd FAILs because of errors in UIConstraints
  and/or NonUIConstraints which are detected since cupstestppd
  in CUPS > 1.2.7 (i.e. since openSUSE 10.3).
  See Novell/Suse Bugzilla bug #309822: When this bug is fixed,
  cupstestppd would no longer result zero exit code.
  In the long run the PPDs should be fixed but as far as we know
  there have been no problems because of such UIConstraints errors
  so that it should be o.k. let those PPDs pass even if they are
  not strictly compliant.
* Mon Nov 27 2006 jsmeix@suse.de

  according to the Adobe PPD specification section 5.9
  and which is therefore simply replaced by "600x1200dpi"
  (see Suse bugzilla bug #116393).

- Additional Oce PPDs.
* Mon Aug 29 2005 jsmeix@suse.de
- Removed a few non-working PPDs.
* Mon Aug 22 2005 jsmeix@suse.de
- Mark the Ricoh family PCLXL PPDs to be "(recommended)"
  so that YaST selects them preferred because those models
  do not understand PostScript by default but only optionally.
* Thu Aug 18 2005 jsmeix@suse.de

  (i.e. for Ricoh, Gestetner, Infotec, Lanier, NRG, and Savin).

  TurbolinuxJapanesePPDs/*alc4000* do no longer work
  because Epson's alc* Ghostscript devices do no longer work
  together with old cupsomatic and new Ghostscript 8.x and
  hp/hp_color_LaserJet_9500.ppd and hp/HP_Designjet_*.ppd
  have non working '*cupsFilter: .../hppostprocessing' entries.
* Mon Mar 07 2005 jsmeix@suse.de

  Ricoh's PPDs appear under the brand names
  Ricoh, Gestetner, Infotec, Lanier, NRG, and Savin.

  because of 'Bad Duplex choice' (is now only a warning).
- Updated Kyocera PPDs.
* Thu Sep 16 2004 jsmeix@suse.de
- Updated Oki PPDs
- Because of a bug in cupstestppd in CUPS version 1.1.21
  (see http://www.cups.org/str.php?L903)
  cupstestppd fails for most PPDs from Sharp.
  Therefore I tested Sharp's PPDs manually and package them
  without an automated test by cupstestppd.
* Tue Aug 24 2004 jsmeix@suse.de
- Updated HP's PPDs (all under MIT license).
- Fixed a few bugs and several warnings in HP's PPDs.
- Removed all the "ugly hacking stuff" (see Thu Mar 25 12:14:20)
  because this is no longer needed because in next SUSE LINUX
  version YaST has a button to let the user choose between
  the usual PPD selection via manufacturer and model name
  and a plain list of PPDs by NickName and filename (bug 37486).
* Mon Jun 14 2004 jsmeix@suse.de
- added Oki PPDs
- PPDs from Oki under GPL
- Addendum regarding the changelog entry Thu Mar 4 10:35:12:
  The mentioned prefix was removed by EPSON a few days later.
  Therefore the EPSON PPDs are under the normal MIT license.
* Thu Mar 25 2004 jsmeix@suse.de

  for the *Manufacturer and *ModelName entries in all our packages
  (cups, cups-drivers, cups-drivers-stp and manufacturer-PPDs)

- fix trivial bugs for particular PPDs (e.g. epson/epl5800.ppd)
