ptouch-driver 1.3-8ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu
Changelog
ptouch-driver (1.3-8ubuntu1) vivid; urgency=medium * Fix the "ESC i A" (enable cutter) command patch to correctly send only on printers which support it (LP: #1342979). * Update the driver to use current CUPS APIs (not the older deprecated ones) and fix some compile-time warnings * Use the PPD API to get the value of the MediaType flag, which is used to pass the "Roll-fed media" flag into the driver * Correct the margins for QL-series P-Touch paper-label printers - these have a fixed 3mm margin (see the command spec) while the PT-series laminated plastic label printers have no appreciable margins. * Correct the format of the "ESC i z" (Print Information) command to match what is specified in the P-touch 500 raster command spec. Notably set the "passed parameter valid" bits, and send valid values for die-cut labels and continuous paper rolls. * Send the "ESC i d" (Set Margin) command for QL series printers. This is required by the command spec. The margin is set to 3mm for continuous paper and zero for die-cut (see the command spec) * Fix an issue with margins in the driver (disable blank-line padding). This was partly responsible for the "excess paper feed" issue. * Suppress the spurious "ESC i z" which was sent with incorrect contents at the start of the job. * Send 350 bytes of NULL/no-op commands at the start of the job. This allows the driver to recover the printer into a known state if communication was interrupted mid-transfer. This is recommended in the command spec. * Remove the "determined by page size" option from "Roll-fed media" as this no longer works. * Remove the "Advance Media" option, as this allowed users to configure the driver to generate print control codes which are illegal per the Brother documentation. This is now fixed at "Advance at end of job" (send a Form Feed at the end of every page, except the last which has an Eject command instead). * Merge in the changes formerly provided by send-esc-i-A-for-QL-only.patch. -- Philip Pemberton <email address hidden> Fri, 03 Apr 2015 09:49:33 +0100
