OpenPrintingPPDs-4.0.0.2-6.11 RPM for noarch

From OpenSuSE Ports Tumbleweed for noarch

To set up a printer configuration a printer description file
(PPD file) is required.

A printer description file is not a driver.

For non-PostScript printers a driver is needed
together with a PPD file which matches exactly
to the particular driver.

For PostScript printers, a PPD file alone is sufficient
(except for older PostScript level 1 printer models).

The PPD files are provided in the following sub-packages
depending on which kind of driver software is needed:

OpenPrintingPPDs-ghostscript provides PPDs
which use Ghostscript built-in drivers.

OpenPrintingPPDs-hpijs provides PPDs
which use the hpijs driver from HPLIP.

OpenPrintingPPDs-postscript provides PPDs
which need no driver.

    is being disabled
* Sat Apr 29 2017 bwiedemann@suse.com
  - call gzip -n to make build more reproducible
* Tue Apr 08 2014 jsmeix@suse.de
  - Fixed Fuji_Xerox-DocuPrint_CM305_df-Postscript.ppd
    see https://bugs.linuxfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1195
  - Fixed HOWTO: Mention the Version X.Y.Z -> X.Y.Z.S change, see
    the entry dated "Thu Apr  3 14:39:15 CEST 2014" below.
  - Added remove_PPDs_with_non_free_license_text_snippets.sh
    and inserted a matching description step in the HOWTO
    see https://bugs.linuxfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1196
  - Fixed and enhanced makePPDtest for newer CUPS versions.
  - Provide makePPDtest in the OpenPrintingPPDs main package
    as /usr/share/doc/packages/OpenPrintingPPDs/makePPDtest
    so that one can more easily do the last step of the HOWTO
    "... install them and then run makePPDtest ..." by only
    installing the OpenPrintingPPDs RPMs without sources.
* Thu Apr 03 2014 jsmeix@suse.de
  - Version upgrade to 4.0.0.1
    The package version is the PPD-O-MATIC version mentioned in the
    PPD files which is currently "PPD-O-MATIC (4.0.0 or newer)"
    plus an additional trailing version number by openSUSE
    (currently ".1") so that openSUSE package upgrades get
    a strictly increasing sequence of versions.
  - Define foomatic_rip_version 4.0.0 as the required minimal
    foomatic-rip version by the PPD files.
  - In determine_drivers_to_be_considered.sh exclude all PPDs
    for all foo2* drivers to avoid any possible issues with
    ZjStream printers and the related JBIG patent issues.
    If such printers are supported, they would have to be supported
    by an appropriate driver RPM that contains matching PPDs
    and not by plain PPDs without driver from OpenPrinting.
* Sat Mar 29 2014 joerg.lorenzen@ki.tng.de
  - update complete PPD database, current version is still 4.0.0
  - fix script move_downloaded_PPDs_to_their_actual_type_of_driver.sh
    to move all PPDs to the right directory (there are little changes
    in 'FoomaticRIPCommandLine')
* Fri Feb 22 2013 jsmeix@suse.de
  - Added "BuildRequires: python-cups" to get special
    RPM Provides tags for the printers supported by
    this package (see SUSE Bugzilla bnc#735865).
* Mon Feb 04 2013 coolo@suse.com
  - update license to new format
* Tue May 08 2012 jsmeix@suse.de
  - Do not provide PPDs for the Ghostscript driver "lx5000" because
    the driver is removed from the default build in Ghostscript,
    see the "Built-in drivers for old Lexmark printers" mail thread
    on gs-devel@ghostscript.com dated June 2011 (bnc#760684).
* Sat Sep 17 2011 jengelh@medozas.de
  - Remove redundant tags/sections from specfile.
  - Pick stronger compression.
