o Additional "post-5.4.2 Release" features:
- AppleTalk Remote printer support (via netatalk's pap(1) utility).
Experimental, please test !
- new revised uniprint profiles from Harold Bower <HalBower@worldnet.att.net>
and additionally some new for:
- Epson Stylus 800 (Monochrome) and
- Epson LQ-570/870/1070/1170 24-pin Dot-Matrix
- prevent printing of an empty page when using raw printer, default is off now.
- bugfix: older gs versions (< v6.x) doesn't support "-_", which allows more efficient read operation. The bug prevented apsfilter to work with the
older gs versions.
- bugfix: hpdj (3rd party gs driver) doesn't like the -sBitsPerPixel option. So stripp it off, if using hpdj driver.
- FAQ file cleanups
- better hpdj driver defaults for HP DJ 970 printers
- some cleanups in code when printing PDF files
- and other things ....
Hi,
by accident I found that a2ps dumps core if invoked with
options for the old a2ps version.
a2ps -f -F7.0
reproduces the problem. With the following patch the problem
seems to be cured.
The patches work.

Line up the rhs of variable assignments nicely. Remove a couple of extra
whitespaces while I'm here.

Along with cosmetic changes to other parts of the metaport
for the new shared library version numbers.
Plus. The metaport has been reworked to bring in a few more
often-requested items.
Please note that you absolutely need GTK/GLIB 1.2.8 or higher
for this release.
if you want apsfilters so called "CLASS support" when suppressing the
printing of banner page.
CLASS support enables you to enter gs driver specific commands
on the command line via lpr's -C option, i.e.:
lpr -C high:presentation file.ps
Normally this only works when you configure lpd to print the banner page.
Only then additional lines are inserted in the print jobs control file.
apsfilters standard printcap installation always uses :sh:,
therefore you need the patch for lpr.c, to write those "CLASS informations"
into the print jobs control file, no matter if :sh: is configured in
printcap or not.
- contains security fixes
- make-release: web page design
- remove note about manually installing manpages on Linux Systems
this is done by SETUP
- new TODO item
- SETUP: order of manpage install paths (Matej Vela)
reduce alignment problems. It is only slightly slower, but produces much
nicer print.
- Added $Id$
Obtained from: Harold Bower <HalBower@worldnet.att.net>
an enhanced PCL3 (PCL3+) driver
that was part of gs5 port and got lost in gs55 port.
Now it reappears in gs 6.01 ;-)
ftp://ftp.sbs.de/pub/graphics/ghostscript/pcl3/pcl3.html
print/acroread-commfont:
- Use CATEGORIES+= to follow after a slave's lang-specific category.
{chinese,japanese,korean}/acroread-*font:
- Set only the lang-specific category for each.
Anomalies found:
- autoconvert was missing "zh-" in front of PKGNAME
- xcin (both 2.3 and 2.5) had invalid version strings
- neither of xcin ports had NO_LATEST_LINK
- telnet8-1.0 thinks PKGNAME is zh-telnet-1.0
Fixed all except the last (I wasn't sure if it was intentional).
PORTNAME/PORTVERSION change, cpiazza must have accidentally hit a
"~" in his vi or something. :>
I have a hunch that the "?=" in PORTNAME and PORTVERSION can be
changed to "=" too but I'll leave those for now.
remote printing with samba was broken because of syntax error in shell.
only occurred when a SMB_PASSWD has been set.
Thanks to Olivier !

syntax error in SETUP
which is detected by bash2 but not by our shell
So all Linux user trapped over this
result is, that you can't select a printer and loop in printer selection
forever...
+ doesn't work:
+ PRINTER=`awk -F "|" \
^----- missing "
+ "{ if (FNR == $answer ) print \\$2 }" \
+ < $PRINTER_LIST"`
^^----- wrong order
+ works:
+ PRINTER="`awk -F "|" \
^----- o.k.
+ "{ if (FNR == $answer ) print \\$2 }" \
+ < $PRINTER_LIST`"
^^----- o.k.
Is it a bug in our shell ???
Fixes BUG in apsfilter 5.3.0
SETUP: you entered a "printer selection loop" when selecting uniprint
printer
Includes the previous patch for CLASS support and such ...
New features in 5.3.0
=====================
- Major enhancements in SETUP, therefore version bump
- checks your version of ghostscript
- is aware of gs version 5.50 and 6.01 printer drivers
- new driver selection mechanism
- fetches list of available printer driver from file
- you can browse/search this list using more
- you select printer driver by number
- sanity check, if the printer driver is present in your gs binary
- at the end of your selection you get a list of printers
as confirmation, that are supported by your driver selection
- you can repeat this step as often as you like until you
choose a valid printer driver
- After printer driver selection you can as usual print test pages
if you like or repeat the step of selection another driver in this
more user friendly manner.
- upp profile contribution for
Epson LQ-570/870/1070/1170 ESC/P2 24-pin Dot Matrix printer
- 3rd party additional driver for
HP 812C, 815C, 832C, 880C, 882C, 895C, 932C, 970C
http://www.proaxis.com/~mgelhaus/linux/software/hp880c/hp880c.html
- Generic Postscript printer Support
- added more resolutions in SETUP script and apsfilter script
- bugfix: some resolutions were missing in apsfilter script
- Adding driver support information is now more easy, since you only
have to add it to a file setup/printer-<gs-version>
- internal: download page: enhanced make-release script
produces now diffs from every version to latest version
- latest apsfilter patches can be found on download page
- info: new URL -> http://people.freebsd.org/~andreas
- new URL -> http://people.freebsd.org/~andreas
- make-release: generate more diffs (every release to latest) and
patch from latest to head branch
- Added files with an up to date printer list for gs 5.50 and 6.01
SETUP will be modified later...
- devices-5.50 - list of driver options
- devices-6.01 - list of driver options
- printer-5.50 - list of supported printers
- printer-6.01 - list of supported printers
- make configure script work (Louis)
- make configure.batch script work (Andreas)
- extract contributed HP8XX driver in ${WRKSRC}/src
- make png driver compile (add $(PREFIX)/include to XINCLUDE variable)
Dunno, if this will be the last round of cleanups...

Before the new patch gs build fine, but didn't
include the printer devices included with configuration script.
After fixing this it refuses to build.
Any help appreciated.
Now you have the last version as I to help me to fix the mess.
Sorry folks ...

Driver is still in developement. There is a newer 1.4 beta version
available, but this version is recommended by the author.

New apsfilter features:
* Security: config files are read using awk, not sourced during runtime
* Complete Windows Remote Printer Support (as Guest user or using real login)
* Complete Unix remote printer support
* Support for different print resolutions (by starting SETUP repeatedly)
and choosing different print resolutions
* A2PS options revamped
* lots of more things... See my homepage, ANNOUNCE file ...
* print margin problem of a2ps fixed
FAQ section gives you a real life example, of how to configure
page margins in /usr/local/etc/a2ps.cfg for an EPSON STYLUS PRO.
With this example you can fine tune the margins for your printer in
about 10-15 minutes from scratch...
- SETUP: added support for configuring remote printer
Beware: you still have to make sure, that your line printer scheduler supports
input filter processing with remote printers as it is the case for FreeBSD 3.x
and later with a "fixed" lpd, as well as for Unix systems with LPRng installed
as lineprinter scheduler, which is the case for some (not all !!!) Linux
Systems.
- Add support for printing with SAMBA (SAMBA_PRINTER)
- Bugfix. Some printer dependend settings will be overwritten, when installing
a 2nd printer, which might cause printing with the 1st printer to fail,
especially if the first printer is color and 2nd B&W or vice versa.
Revamped SETUP and bin/apsfilter to get around this.
- Added SETUP menue entries for the uniprint driver

HOWTO-BUGREPORTS moved to toplevel, so that its easier to find.
everything that anybody could need in a program printout without
the need for large numbers of switches or pipelines. Trueprint can
currently handle C, C++, Java, Perl, Verilog, shell (including ksh), Pascal,
pseudo C, report files (trueprint report files), listing files, text files.
