The important part for us is that "it is not required any more that for
Foomatic to return a PPD file for a given printer/driver combo that
there is an XML file for both the printer and the driver. One XML file
(either printer or driver) is enough when this file describes the
printer/driver relation."
That means that printers that did not appear before (i.e. one could not
create a custom ppd) where they were marked as supported will now
appear and work fine.
Add a link from foomatic-ppdfile to the CUPS driver directory so that
PPDs file will be created on demand (no need to hunt for them on
openprinting.org).
Merge MESSAGE from foomatic-db-gutenprint to be more coherent.
Rework dependencies:
foomatic-db{gutenprint,hpijs}->foomatic-db->foomatic-db-engine
Foomatic's database engine generates PPD files from the data in
Foomatic's XML database. It also contains scripts to directly generate
print queues and handle jobs.
