* configure.in: Version 0.6.16.
2008-03-20 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* systemv/hal_lpadmin (remove): Disable also queues using the hal
CUPS backend when the corresponding printer is turned off.
If HAL finds a serial number for a detected printer but the URI
has no serial number, disable the queue whenthe printer is
rurned off, too.
Only disable a queue, if its URI matches with the bus type
(for example USB) of the detected printer.
2008-03-19 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* systemv/hal_lpadmin (remove): Improve read-out of serial number
when a printer is disconnected or turned off, using not only
"printer.serial" but also "info.udi" and "info.parent"; use also
the bus type for identifying printers ("linux.subsystem"); fixed
bug which made serial numbers getting ignored when identifying a
printer.
2008-02-27 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>
* configure.in: Version 0.6.15.
2008-02-27 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>
* backend/hal.c (main): Use CUPS macros for backend exit code.
(main): Class failover support.
(main): Use cupsBackendDeviceURI() for obtaining URI.
(get_device_file): Remove options from UDI.
(main): Manage offline and media-empty state reasons.
(main): Don't overwrite printer-state-message at the end of the
job.
(main): Manage connecting-to-device printer state reason.
(main): Tell the driver to abort writes on paper-out.
2008-02-12 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>
* configure.in: Version 0.6.14.
2007-12-07 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* systemv/hal_lpadmin: Let hal_admin not fail if "lsusb" or
"hp-makeuri" are not installed. Simply do not use HPLIP URIs
then.
Replaced a wrong "os.exit()" by "sys.exit()" (Ubuntu bug #160386).
Made check for removal of manufacturer name from model name
case-insensitive (Ubuntu bug #150219)
Removed debug helper lines forgotten in the code.
2007-12-07 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* systemv/hal_lpadmin: Changes for more reliable auto-setup of HP
printers, mostly based on hints from the HPLIP developers from HP:
- Use only "hp-makeuri" and "lsusb" for finding out which devices
are supported by HPLIP and which URIs they have. "hp-probe"
and "hp-info" produce a very high IO load
- Let the print queue creation being done in a child process.
Due to HP's UDEV-triggered firmware upload for the HP LaserJet
1018/1020 these printers get uncoupled from the usblp kernel
module still while the queue creation is not completed and the
uncoupling is interpreted as device removal by HAL and so HAL
kills the hal_admin which creates the queues. The child process
does not get killed and so queue creation is assured.
- Do only one "time.sleep(1)" in the beginning, not one before each
call of hp-makeuri.
Always produce only one notification for the system-config-printer
tray applet, even if two queues (printer and fax) are created.
2007-10-05 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>
* systemv/hal_lpadmin (HalPrinter.remove): Build command line more
carefully.
2007-09-18 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* systemv/hal_lpadmin: Removed the workaround applied yesterday. The
bug in system-config-printer is fixed now.
2007-09-17 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* autogen.sh: Use "automake --add-mising --copy" to copy the files
needed from automake. This way autogen.sh ceated a package which
can be built on systems without automake installed.
* systemv/hal_lpadmin: Added a workaround to make the driver chosen
for a queue which is generated automatically being the same as if
the queue was set up with the add-printer wizzard of
system-config-printer. In both cases system-config-printer has used
completely different algorithms to find out which PPDs belong to
the detected printer model. Especially HP's PostScript printers
always got assigned HPIJS (PCL) PPDs in queues which are
automatically set up by hal_lpadmin.
2007-09-14 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>
* configure.in: Version 0.6.13.
2007-09-14 Till Kamppeter <till.kamppeter@gmail.com>
* systemv/hal_lpadmin: If a print queue was disabled due to the
corresponding printer being turned off it did not get re-enabled
again if the queue name was not the default one generated by
hal_lpadmin (for example a manually created queue). Fixed.
HPLIP-based queues got auto-disabled as sson as HPLIP accessed
them (print job sent, extra function used, or hp-toolbox
called). due to HPLIP uncoupling the printer from the "usblp"
kernel module letting the /dev/usblp? file disappear. Now it is
checked whether the printer is still available to HPLIP before
auto-disabling the queue. Side effect: If after a accessing the
printer once the /dev/usblp? file disappeared, HAL does not call
hal_lpadmin any more when the printer gets really turned off. This
means auto-disabling only works with print queues not using HPLIP.
hal_lpadmin does not make CUPS scanning for available devices any
more ("lpinfo -v" equivalent). These calls were only done to
discover available HPLIP URIs. Now HPLIP is directly called which
is much less time-consuming. This makes auto-setup and
auto-re-enabling of HP printers vastly faster.
2007-08-10 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>
* systemv/hal_lpadmin: Make logging less verbose.
2007-08-06 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>
* backend/hal.c (list_devices): Use make/model strings instead of
the description string for identifying the device. Many devices,
including the HP Photosmart A717, provide useless device
description fields in the IEEE 1284 ID.
2007-08-03 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>
* configure.in: Version 0.6.12.
2007-08-03 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>
* systemv/hal_lpadmin: [patch from Till Kamppeter]
- Fixed generation of USB URIs: On some HP printers URIs like
"usb:///<make>%20<model>" instead of the correct
"usb://<make>/<model>" were generated, the manufacturer name
"Lexmark International" did not get corrected to "Lexmark".
- HPLIP URIs were only used if the device reports its serial number.
Some HP devices (even of the current models) do not report their
serial numbers. Now we fall back to identifying them via the model
name. So all HPLIP-supported HP printers will be set up with HPLIP
URIs now.
- If an HP multi-function device has fax functionality, also the
fax queue gets auto-generated when connecting the device for the
first time.
- If a printer gets turned off or disconnected, the queues for it get
disabled now, so that queued jobs do not get retried every 30
seconds. When reconnecting and turning back on the device the
queues are enabled again so that queued jobs get printed. Ny using
a dedicated state message manually disabled printers are not enabled
when reconnecting them.
* systemv/10-hal_lpadmin.fdi: Don't use full path to hal_lpadmin
since that gets ignored anyway.
2007-08-01 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>
* systemv/hal_lpadmin (HalPrinter.configure): Use CUPS directly
instead of foomatic, just like the add method (patch from Till
Kamppeter).
2007-06-14 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>
* configure.in: Version 0.6.11.
2007-06-14 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>
* systemv/hal_lpadmin (HalPrinter.add): Use the new PPDs class to
match Device IDs.
2007-06-07 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>
* backend/hal.c (list_devices): Check return value of
libhal_find_device_by_capability, not just num_printers (bug
#243165).
2007-05-30 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>
* configure.in: Version 0.6.10.
2007-05-28 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>

changes for the moment, to re-appear after Fedora 7.
2007-04-26 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>
* configure.in: Version 0.6.8.
2007-04-26 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>
* backend/hal.c (main): Extract URI from argv[0] or DEVICE_URI.
(main): Use backend exit constants from the API.
(main): If the HAL device is not present, keep retrying.
(main): Implement connecting-to-device state.
(runloop): Moved write() loop to new function. Use a select()
loop. On Linux, use a non-blocking descriptor and check printer
status to detect paper-out.
* systemv/hal_lpadmin (HalPrinter.get_cups_uris): Recognise both
hp: and usb: URIs for the same device, for the purpose of deciding
whether a new queue needs to be added.
(HalPrinter.get_cups_uris): Fixed traceback.
2007-04-25 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>
* configure.in: Version 0.6.7.
2007-04-25 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>

scheme if we have enough information (bug #236720).
2007-04-04 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>
* configure.in: Version 0.6.6.
2007-03-17 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>
* systemv/hal_lpadmin (HalPrinter.__init__): If we can't connect
to CUPS, log a message saying so rather than just a traceback (bug
#232733).
2007-01-08 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>
* configure.in: Version 0.6.5.
2007-01-08 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>

2007-01-04 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>
* configure.in: Version 0.6.4.
2007-01-04 Tim Waugh <twaugh@redhat.com>
* systemv/hal_lpadmin (HalPrinter.add): Don't enable existing
printers. They may have been intentionally disabled by the
sysadmin.
(HalPrinter.remove): Don't disable removed printers. Some
devices, such as the HP PSC 1310, seem to disconnect as soon as a
print job is sent and so this causes problems.
(HalPrinter.get_cups_uris): Pause for a second to give HPLIP a
chance to reconnect.

a matching URI.
(HalPrinter.remove): Likewise with removal.
* backend/hal.c (list_devices): Include IEEE 1284 Device ID in
CUPS backend output when listing devices (bug #214755).
