Hi, I have released cups-filters 1.0.44 upstream and updated the Debian GIT repo appropriately.
In addition, I have split two binary packages to allow a low-footprint printing stack on mobile devices, the "level 2" on https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/client-1305-printing-stack-with-mobile-in-mind Now, by installing avahi-daemon, cups-daemon, cups-ppd-less, cups-browsed, cups-filters-ppd-less, poppler-utils, and the libraries pulled in by these one gets a printing stack in the order of two-digit megabytes, without the bulk of drivers and PPD files. Setting "CreateIPPPrinterQueues Yes" in /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf this printing stack will auto-discover IPP printers with known languages (PDF, PostScript, PWG Raster, PCL-XL, PCL 5c/e) and shared CUPS printers in the network and automatically set up queues for them and also automatically remove these queues again when the printers disappear (only if there are no jobs left in the queues). This way one gets basic printing functionality on mobile (or other low-footprint devices like for example set-top-boxes) devices without printer setup tool and without driver libraries. Note also that Poppler one has usually on a mobile device for screen display of PDF files. OdyX, the changes are in the Debian GIT repos of CUPS and cups-filters now. Can you upload the packages to Debian so that they sync into Ubuntu? Can you also check whether I did the splitting correctly? Thanks.
