0.1.4-m5

This release contains corrections to page size support, and contains a minor but somewhat important refactor:

• Page dimensions for several standard paper sizes now match those used in the Windows driver.

  • The dimensions were found to be different from those used by CUPS. For more information, see this page in the Wiki: https://github.com/mounaiban/captdriver/wiki/SPECS:-Page-Parameters-Reference-Output-Sizes

• Toner Save is now toggled by the CUPS parameter cupsInteger0 instead of cupsCompression.

• An experimental Pause After Every Page option has been added for those who want to manually duplex print by feeding the last page on the output tray back into an input tray.

  • Note that the paper button must be pressed after the last page prints in order to finish the job.

  • Printers with automatic duplexing are still not supported.

Both LBP2900 and LBP3000 printers are supported on this release. LBP3010 support has not been tested.

0.1.4-m3

This release contains corrections to page size support and improvements to the reliability of job cancellations:

• Fix next largest integer divisible by four routine in paper.c.
• Use CUPS status codes and reply sizes to determine which job cancellation cleanup procedures are needed.
• Enforce 10mm margins for envelope sizes, as done by the original drivers.

The manufacturer name in the PPD files no longer includes registration details (Canon Inc is now just Canon) in order to match conventions followed by other drivers. This keeps driver lists clean and tidy. Thanks @sbn001

Raspbian compatibility issues are still under investigation, fixes do not apply to LBP3010.

0.1.3-m5

Printers supported include LBP2900, LBP3000 and LBP3010 (and regional variants) only.

Features added in this release:
