NonUIConstraints in the output PPD file.</LI>

EPSON Stylus Pro models.</LI>
<LI>The CMYK LUT code incorrectly required the
cupsBlackGeneration attribute.</LI>
</UL>
<H2>Changes in v0.11</H2>

that known drivers (ESC/P and PCL) can have meaningful
ModelNumber values in the driver info/source files

files.</LI>
<LI>Changed the names of all CMYK lookup table attributes
