See hplip_api.h for reference.
44. Fixed defect (These Examples in usage of hp-setup that would work in non-interactive mode should specify -i parameter.)
45. Fixed defect (hp-print UI not usable on 800x600 screen w/GNOME)

Files (and an optional coverpage) may be sent by running the send fax UI directly or by printing through the supplied HP Fax CUPS backend from any application or by using lp/lpr. A CUPS queue configured with the HP Fax CUPS backend (hpfax:) must be separately set up for faxing to operate.
2. Added HP Setup utility. This new utility (hp-setup) can quickly and automatically setup print and/or fax queues for HPLIP supported devices. It will automatically choose the closest matching PPD file, print a testpage, and set up a fax queue and allow the user to perform basic fax setup (TTI header setup) if appropriate. Using the -m parameter, hp-setup also replaces the functionality of 'hp-makeuri'.
3. Fixed deviceid zero termination issue in hplip_api.c.

KRGB definition:

    1. K=1-bit black plane, RGB=24 bit color raster.
    2. K-plane will only contain objects that are black text and black line drawings.
    3. RGB raster will not contain K-plane objects.

    4. K resolution and RGB resolution will be equal.
    5. K-plane will be byte aligned.
    6. K-plane bit definition; 1=black, 0=nothing.

KRGB requires Ghostscript suppport. Current versions of Ghostscript do not support KRGB. In order to support KRGB, a Ghostscript KRGB patch is included in the HPIJS package. The patch modifies the IJS client in Ghostscript and is free to use under the MIT license. The new IJS client should be backward compatible with existing IJS servers. This means KRGB support is optional.

Use the following command in the Ghostscript source directory to apply the KRGB patch, then rebuild Ghostscript.

2. Added HiRes mode to the PS100 device class.
3. Added Draft modes to most device classes.
4. Bumped DJ8xx and DJ8x5 Normal Grayscale support to 600 dpi.
5. Added support for paper sizes Ledger, Executive, Super B and Flsa.

    This release fixes a DJ9xxVIP duplex problem with GNU Ghostscript 7.05 and HPIJS 1.0.4. The problem caused the second page to print incorrectly when duplex was enabled. The problem occurred with 300 dpi input not 600 dpi input.

HPIJS 1.0.4 - This update has the following changes:

1. Added a new HiRes mode to DJ9xxVIP device class.
2. Added support for paper sizes A3 and A5.
3. Removed Photo Full Bleed paper size and added a FullBleed parameter.
4. Fixed a duplex top margin problem with paper sizes other than Letter.
5. Fixed a duplex top margin problem with grey_k and grey_cmy.
6. Fixed a problem detecting B4 and B5 paper sizes.
7. Fixed a artifact (black vertical line) that could occur in the right margin.

The new HiRes mode supports the maximum resolution for DJ9xxVIP device class. For these devices the box specification for resolution is 2400x1200. In the past no scaling was done to 2400 in the printer.

Full bleed support is no longer a separate paper size. Full bleed is enabled with a new Ghostscript command called FullBleed. Now you just select your 4x6 paper size and set FullBleed=1.

HPIJS 1.0.3 - This update has the following changes:

1. Added support for AFPL Ghostscript 7.04 and GNU Ghostscript 6.53. HPIJS is now compatible with the IJS client that comes with Ghostscript. This means the IJS client (gdevijs.c) included with HPIJS 1.0.2 is no longer needed.
2. This release is compatible with IJS 0.33. In order to be compliant with IJS 0.33, some Ghostscript commands have changed from HPIJS 1.0.2.
3. The Duplex command has changed from -dDuplex=n (n equals: 0=none, 1=tablet, 2=book) to following.

    -dDuplex=false -dTumble=false (none)
    -dDuplex=true  -dTumble=false (book)
    -dDuplex=true  -dTumble=true  (tablet)

4. HPIJS print mode parameters must use the "Quality:" prefix. The prefix will allow better management of parameter namespace. See the following Ghostscript command example.

    -sIjsParams=

    "Quality:Quality=0,Quality:ColorMode=2,Quality:MediaType=0,Quality:PenSet=2"

5. The following Ghostscript command without the "Quality:" prefex is no longer supported.

    -sIjsParams="Quality=0,ColorMode=2,MediaType=0,PenSet=2"

The new Ghostscript command -dIjsUseOutputFD is required when using HPIJS.

HPIJS 1.0.2 - This update has the following changes:

1. Fixed a problem printing Photo Full Bleed on the Photosmart 100.
2. Cleaned up BSD documentation in source files.

HPIJS 1.0.1 - This release now meets Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG) and addresses the following problems.

1. Fixed a setpagedevice problem with the IJS client. PageSize can now be set from postscript.
2. Fixed a off-by-one error in IJS server, gcc -O2 optimization now seems to work.
3. Updated the documentation, see the hpijs_readme.html file.

HPIJS 1.0 - This update has the following changes:

1. Updated HPIJS to APDK 3.01 which adds support for the following printers.

    - Deskjet 656           Photosmart 100        Apollo P-22
    - Deskjet 825/845       Photosmart 1115       Apollo P2500
    - Deskjet 920           Photosmart 1215       Apollo P2600
    - Deskjet 940/948       Photosmart 1315
    - Deskjet 995           CP 1160
    - Deskjet 1125          CP 1700
    - Deskjet 1220
    - Deskjet 2250

2. Added support for the IJS interface. This release is backward compatible with HPIJS 0.97 interface.
3. Added support for Duplex. Duplex is only available with the IJS interface. When Duplex mode is set, top and bottom margins are set to 1/2 inch.
4. Added support for the following paper sizes. The new paper sizes are only available with the IJS interface.

    Photo, Photo Full Bleed, A6, B4, B5, Oufuku-Hagaki, Hagaki

5. The PrintMode command has been replaced with separate commands - Quality, ColorMode, MediaType and PenSet. These commands are only available with the IJS interface.
6. Changed top margin from 1/3 to 1/8 inch. Also, changed the bottom margin to 1/2 inch. Note, on the 6xx series the maximum bottom margin is .46 inch for black and .587 for color. This means for the 6xx series, color printing to within 1/2 inch bottom margin is not guaranteed.
7. Added a platform-independent automake/autoconf makefile.

HPIJS 0.97 - This update has the following changes:

1. Made some bug fixes to the APDK 2.4 code and changed the top margin settings in gdevhpij.c back to a value that is compatible with existing printer drivers.
2. A line of text near the top of the page would not print.
3. Top and bottom margins on multiple page jobs was not consistent.

HPIJS 0.96 - This update has the following changes:

1. Updated HPIJS to APDK 2.4 which adds support for the following printers.

    - DeskJet980
    - DeskJet960
    - DeskJet350
    - Photosmart 1000/1100
    - Photosmart 1215/1218

2. Made a small change to the top and right margins in gdevhpij.c. This corrects a problem where both Ghostscript and HPIJS were trying to set the margins.
3. Added some query commands to the GS/HPIJS communication interface. These commands can be used to return current printer parameters.
4. This release is backward compatible with HPIJS 0.95.

HPIJS 0.95 - This update has the following changes:

1. Fixed a scaling problem with device-dependent postscript using CUPS. This was a problem with DJ630, DJ6xxP and DJ8xx photo mode only. This was not a problem printing device-independent postscript.
2. Changed Ghostscript command interface to HPIJS driver. The HPIJS driver is now called with the following Ghostscript commands.

    -sDEVICE=hpijs
    -sDeviceName=x
    where x equals: DJ630, DJ6xx, DJ6xxPhoto, DJ8xx, DJ9xx or DJ9xxVIP

3. This removes the hard coded device parameters from gdevhpij.c so new printer drivers can be added to HPIJS with out re-compiling Ghostscript. The old interface used the following Ghostscript commands.

    -sDEVICE=x
    where x equals: DJ630, DJ6xx, DJ6xxP, DJ8xx, DJ9xx or DJ9xxVIP

4. The old interface is degraded and will eventually be dropped. New printer drivers will not use the old interface.

HPIJS 0.94 - This update has the following changes:

1. Minor changes where made to the add-on files for Ghostscript. No functional changes or bug fixes. Changed gdevhpijs.c to gdevhpij.c (8.3 Ghostscript convention). Moved defines from models.h and hpijs.h to new gdevhpij.h. The gdevhpij.h file is LGPL.

HPIJS 0.93 - Initial release.
