| 1 | Version 3.2.9 |
|---|
| 2 | Removed '"' from ifhp.conf file that really messed things up. |
|---|
| 3 | |
|---|
| 4 | Version 3.2.8 |
|---|
| 5 | Enabled PCL copies=nnn code |
|---|
| 6 | (Missing operation reported by: Gerard Kok <kokg@geo.vu.nl>) |
|---|
| 7 | Fixed pcl_linesperpage=...F instead of E |
|---|
| 8 | (Reported by: Gerard Kok <kokg@geo.vu.nl>) |
|---|
| 9 | When you are using the TEXT to XXX translation facility, |
|---|
| 10 | the .... ZOPTS .... will get replaced with .... -Zzoptions .... |
|---|
| 11 | and .... TOPTS .... will get replaced with .... -Ttoptions .... |
|---|
| 12 | |
|---|
| 13 | Updated ifhp.conf file, added comments, moved HP5SiMx PostScript |
|---|
| 14 | to the HP5SiMx section. |
|---|
| 15 | |
|---|
| 16 | Modified the Pjl_console code to not be 'sticky'. This was painful. |
|---|
| 17 | (Suggested by: Olav Kolbu <olav.kolbu@usit.uio.no>) |
|---|
| 18 | |
|---|
| 19 | After extensive hand to hand combat with QMS printers, |
|---|
| 20 | discovered that they apparently do NOT return status or PostScript |
|---|
| 21 | output in a reliable manner. Added/modified [qms1725] entry |
|---|
| 22 | to reflect this. Use appsocket protocol, but WITHOUT status |
|---|
| 23 | capability. Also note that port 35 seems to be used by default, |
|---|
| 24 | although this can be configured via the TCP/IP telnet interface. |
|---|
| 25 | (Your milage may vary). |
|---|
| 26 | |
|---|
| 27 | Version 3.2.7 |
|---|
| 28 | Rearranged code in Read_write_timeout() so that a read of status is |
|---|
| 29 | attempted BEFORE exiting on a write error. |
|---|
| 30 | |
|---|
| 31 | added pclbanner to the distribution |
|---|
| 32 | |
|---|
| 33 | IFHP recognizes the PJL 'reset' sequence and treats it as a |
|---|
| 34 | 'raw' or unprocessed job. This allows you to send PJL jobs to the printer |
|---|
| 35 | and not have them interpreted as PCL. |
|---|
| 36 | |
|---|
| 37 | Version 3.2.6 |
|---|
| 38 | Added a console message for Lexmark and HP Printers that |
|---|
| 39 | will be 'sticky' and stay visible after the job has been |
|---|
| 40 | printed. |
|---|
| 41 | (Provided by: Jason L Tibbitts III <tibbs@uh.edu>) |
|---|
| 42 | |
|---|
| 43 | Fixed up 'progress' so that it prints Kbytes correctly... sigh. |
|---|
| 44 | |
|---|
| 45 | |
|---|
| 46 | Version 3.2.5 |
|---|
| 47 | changed the a2ps options in ifhp.conf: |
|---|
| 48 | -q -B -1 -M Letter --borders=no -o- |
|---|
| 49 | (Suggested by: Jeff Gostin <jgostin@best.com>) |
|---|
| 50 | |
|---|
| 51 | Version 3.2.5 |
|---|
| 52 | Cleaned up documentation, made sure the various |
|---|
| 53 | configuration and installation defaults were consistent. |
|---|
| 54 | Ummm... and also removed a core dump from the distribution. |
|---|
| 55 | Sigh... |
|---|
| 56 | |
|---|
| 57 | Version 3.2.4 |
|---|
| 58 | Cleaned up Makefile.in so that running configure in another directory |
|---|
| 59 | will be possible. That is, |
|---|
| 60 | cd ifhp... |
|---|
| 61 | where=`pwd` |
|---|
| 62 | mkdir ... |
|---|
| 63 | cd ... |
|---|
| 64 | sh $where/configure |
|---|
| 65 | will now work correctly, and you can do a make install in $where |
|---|
| 66 | |
|---|
| 67 | Added README.utilities and updated ifhp.conf file so that it has URL |
|---|
| 68 | and ftp sites for file, enscript and a2ps tools. |
|---|
| 69 | |
|---|
| 70 | The phaser support did not work with OF and IF filters. |
|---|
| 71 | More 'shutdowns' and clean up added. |
|---|
| 72 | |
|---|
| 73 | Sync and waitend made separate operations. |
|---|
| 74 | You can now skip 'syncing' at the start, but you |
|---|
| 75 | can force 'waitend'. This is side effect of phaser |
|---|
| 76 | operation. You need to read status back from the printer until it closes |
|---|
| 77 | the reverse connnection. If you have appsocket with waitend, |
|---|
| 78 | you will read status back until the job finishes. If you do |
|---|
| 79 | appsocket with waitend@, you will get no status information for job. |
|---|
| 80 | This is not good, but gives you very fast throughput. |
|---|
| 81 | |
|---|
| 82 | Version 3.2.3 |
|---|
| 83 | Updated Makefile.in so that when you do $(path)/configure for |
|---|
| 84 | building in a separate directory, the right files are found. |
|---|
| 85 | |
|---|
| 86 | Version 3.2.2 |
|---|
| 87 | Added support for Tektronixs Phaser Printers - using the appsocket protocol |
|---|
| 88 | |
|---|
| 89 | Version 3.2.1 |
|---|
| 90 | |
|---|
| 91 | Most of the code seems pretty stable, so we start a new major release. |
|---|
| 92 | There are mostly minor changes in the code for this release. |
|---|
| 93 | |
|---|
| 94 | Added 'PseudoMagicFilter Support' and got text to PS conversion |
|---|
| 95 | working correctly. |
|---|
| 96 | |
|---|
| 97 | # |
|---|
| 98 | # text conversion control |
|---|
| 99 | # |
|---|
| 100 | # control text to whatever conversion |
|---|
| 101 | # |
|---|
| 102 | # if you cannot find type, then try this file utility |
|---|
| 103 | # |
|---|
| 104 | # if the type is text and not supported on your system, do a conversion |
|---|
| 105 | # Method 1 - set 'default_language' as text, and run |
|---|
| 106 | # the program through a text to known converter |
|---|
| 107 | # |
|---|
| 108 | default_language=text |
|---|
| 109 | text_converter=/usr/local/bin/a2ps -q -B -o- |
|---|
| 110 | # output of the converter is pcl, ps, or raw |
|---|
| 111 | text_converter_output=ps |
|---|
| 112 | |
|---|
| 113 | # |
|---|
| 114 | # Method 2 - |
|---|
| 115 | # Use the file util and match the output |
|---|
| 116 | # file reports format information |
|---|
| 117 | # glob text_output_format text_converter |
|---|
| 118 | # - you do a glob match against pattern and use the converter |
|---|
| 119 | # |
|---|
| 120 | default_language=unknown |
|---|
| 121 | file_util_path=/usr/bin/file - |
|---|
| 122 | file_output_match = [ |
|---|
| 123 | *text* ps /usr/local/bin/a2ps -q -B -o- |
|---|
| 124 | ] |
|---|
| 125 | # you need a temp file location |
|---|
| 126 | tempfile=/var/tmp/ifhp |
|---|
| 127 | |
|---|
| 128 | Added a horrible horrible kludge that allows multiple fonts to be |
|---|
| 129 | loaded. You need to use: |
|---|
| 130 | ifhp -Zfont=this,font=that,... |
|---|
| 131 | which gets translated into font=this,that and the font handling code |
|---|
| 132 | then works OK. |
|---|
| 133 | |
|---|
| 134 | Added a QMS1725 entry that just might work. |
|---|
| 135 | Fixed up a couple of minor PostScript quirks. |
|---|
| 136 | Added PJL support for duplex. |
|---|
| 137 | |
|---|
| 138 | Version 3.1.20 |
|---|
| 139 | Documentation. More Documentation. More ... |
|---|
| 140 | Sigh... |
|---|
| 141 | |
|---|
| 142 | Version 3.1.19 |
|---|
| 143 | Made status messages less verbose. |
|---|
| 144 | 'trace_on_stderr' is now just 'trace' ... Sigh... |
|---|
| 145 | |
|---|
| 146 | Version 3.1.17 |
|---|
| 147 | Changed CRLF back to not effective... Sigh. |
|---|
| 148 | |
|---|
| 149 | Version 3.1.16 |
|---|
| 150 | Fixed a problem with testing short files for file type. |
|---|
| 151 | (Noted by: Mike Whitson <mwhitson@MIT.EDU>) |
|---|
| 152 | |
|---|
| 153 | Added ledger paper types. HP printers are very odd... |
|---|
| 154 | (John McCash thinks so too) |
|---|
| 155 | |
|---|
| 156 | Made CRLF the default in ifhp.conf |
|---|
| 157 | |
|---|
| 158 | Version 3.1.15 |
|---|
| 159 | Not distributed |
|---|
| 160 | |
|---|
| 161 | Version 3.1.14 |
|---|
| 162 | |
|---|
| 163 | ifhp.conf: |
|---|
| 164 | pcl_pagesize \033&l#A - set page size |
|---|
| 165 | Thu Feb 4 16:52:58 PST 1999 |
|---|
| 166 | remove_control=xyz... |
|---|
| 167 | if PostScript AND you have a ^x, ^y, ^z, etc., remove it. |
|---|
| 168 | Suggested use: remove_control=CT removes CTRL-C, CTRL-T |
|---|
| 169 | (Suggested by Mike Whitson <mwhitson@MIT.EDU>) |
|---|
| 170 | |
|---|
| 171 | Version 3.1.6 - 3.1.13 |
|---|
| 172 | Lots and lots and lots of changes in ifhp.conf, etc, etc. |
|---|
| 173 | Stable version approaching. |
|---|
| 174 | |
|---|
| 175 | Version 3.1.5 |
|---|
| 176 | Experiments with various printers showed that the ifhp.conf |
|---|
| 177 | file needed modification. |
|---|
| 178 | |
|---|
| 179 | Added a 'banner_only' mode for banner printing only. |
|---|
| 180 | |
|---|
| 181 | |
|---|
| 182 | Version 3.1.4 |
|---|
| 183 | Sun Dec 27 18:22:44 PST 1998 |
|---|
| 184 | Total rewrite of the ifhp software using a clean room |
|---|
| 185 | approach. |
