 <H1>Additions</H1>

 <P>CUPS 1.2 includes many new features from the 1.0.x releases.

 <H2>Filters</H2>

 <H3><CODE>imagetoraster</CODE>, <CODE>imagetops</CODE></H3>

 <P>The image file filters have been upgraded to support conversion of
 Microsoft Bitmap ("BMP") and Alias PIX files.

 <H3>pdftops</H3>

 <P>A new pdftops filter has been developed that is based on the
 excellent Xpdf 0.90 software from Derek B. Noonburg. The new filter is
 faster, smaller, and considerably more reliable than the
 Ghostscript-based filter in CUPS 1.0.

 <H3>pstoraster</H3>

 <P>The <CODE>pstoraster</CODE> filter has been integrated with GNU
 GhostScript 5.50. The new RIP supports most Level 3 PostScript language
 features.

 <H3>rastertoepson</H3>

 <P>The new <CODE>rastertoepson</CODE> filter supports EPSON printers
 using the ESC/P or ESC/P2 command sets. PPDs are supplied for 9-pin,
 24-pin, Stylus Color, and Stylus Photo printers.

 <H2>User-Defined Printers and Options</H2>

 <P>The new <CODE>lpoptions</CODE> command allows users to configure default
 document options and create additional "instances" of existing printers,
 each with unique options.

 <P>The <CODE>lp</CODE>, <CODE>lpr</CODE>, and <CODE>lpstat</CODE> commands
 have been upgraded to use this option and printer instance information
 automatically.

 <H2>Daemons</H2>

 <P>CUPS 1.2 includes two new daemons that provide enhanced network printing
 support.

 <H3>cups-lpd</H3>

 <P>The <CODE>cups-lpd</CODE> daemon provides support for clients using the
 Line Printer Daemon protocol.

 <H3>cups-polld</H3>

 <P>The <CODE>cups-polld</CODE> daemon provides remote polling services for
 the scheduler.

 <H2>Commands</H2>

 <P>CUPS 1.2 includes several new printing commands.

 <H3>lpoptions</H3>

 <P>The <CODE>lpoptions</CODE> command provides user-defined printers and
 options.

 <H3>lpmove</H3>

 <P>The <CODE>lpmove</CODE> command moves a print job to a new destination.

 <H3>lpinfo</H3>

 <P>The <CODE>lpinfo</CODE> command lists the available PPD files or devices.

 <H2>IPP Implementation</H2>

 <P>CUPS 1.2 adds support for the <CODE>set-job-attributes</CODE>
 extension operation as well as two new CUPS-specific extension
 operations to determine which devices and printer drivers are available
 on the system.

 <P>Further information on the CUPS implementation of IPP can be found
 in CUPS-IPP-1.2.


 <H1>Changes</H1>

 <P>CUPS 1.2 includes many changes from the 1.1.x releases.

 <H2>Directory Structure</H2>

 <P>The directory structure in CUPS 1.2 has been modified to conform to the
 Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, 2.2. The following table describes the
 new file locations.

 <H2>IPP Implementation</H2>

 <P>CUPS 1.2 is based on version 1.1 of the Internet Printing Protocol.

 <P>The new scheduler supports the <CODE>create-job</CODE> and
 <CODE>send-document</CODE> operations. In addition, the
 <CODE>job-sheets</CODE>, <CODE>job-sheets-default</CODE>, and
 <CODE>job-sheets-supported</CODE> attributes are now supported for
 banner pages.

 <P>The <CODE>CUPS-get-printers</CODE> and <CODE>CUPS-get-classes</CODE>
 operations have been upgraded to support limited filtering based upon
 the <CODE>printer-type</CODE>, <CODE>printer-location</CODE>,
 <CODE>printer-info</CODE>, and <CODE>printer-make-and-model</CODE>
 attributes.

 <P>The <CODE>CUPS-add-printer</CODE> operation now supports the
 <CODE>ppd-name</CODE> attribute to specify a locally-available PPD file
 rather than sending the PPD file from the client with the request.

 <P>Further information on the CUPS implementation of IPP can be found
 in CUPS-IPP-1.2.
