Updated cups-drivers-splix package uses DRVs instead of PPDs which don't work

Publication date: 30 Apr 2014
Modification date: 30 Apr 2014
Type: bugfix
Affected Mageia releases : 4

Description

Updated cups-drivers-splix packages fix:

- some printers from this list were absent in system-config-printer before 
  a update, for example, Samsung SCX-4600
- move old PPDs, use DRVs instead with according Fedora, Debian, Arch Linux
- add patches from Fedora (IEEE 1284 Device IDs) and Debian (alignment on 
  arm)
- enable JBIG1 (JBIG1 is free of known patents in all countries from 
  2012-04-04)
- add info about color profile (from Arch Linux) in %post
- other small changes

It means, after updating, new printers will work which before did not work 
and also printers will work, which uses JBIG1 (JBIG printers [such as the 
CLP-600, CLP-300, CLP-315, etc.] won't work with SpliX if the JBIG 
algorithm is disabled).
