Package name printer-drivers Date November 6th, 2002 Advisory ID MDKA-2002:015-1 Affected versions 9.0 Synopsis Updated printer-drivers packages fix various printing issues

Problem Description

New printing-related packages are available that offer many printing
enhancements over those drivers provided with Mandrake Linux 9.0. Some
improvements include a new driver for Lexmark Z11, a number of updated
ghostscript drivers, a new version of HPIJS, a newer GIMP-Print which
provides much better quality for most Epson Stylus printers, and many
new printer drivers as well.

This new package also changes "-dSAFER" to "-dPARANOIDSAFER" in the
Ghostscript command lines in all Foomatic files, which prevents
postscript code from being able to read arbitrary files.

Update:

The previous updates built ghostscript without the "cups" driver.
That has been corrected in these new packages.
