RHBA-2013:1084 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated foomatic packages that fix two bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

Foomatic is a comprehensive, spooler-independent database of printers, printer
drivers, and driver descriptions. The package also includes spooler-independent
command line interfaces to manipulate queues and to print files and manipulate
print jobs. foomatic-rip is a print filter written in C.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• The foomatic package could not be rebuilt due to the RPM package spec file

having incorrect locations for Perl files. The installation locations have been
fixed and the package can now be rebuilt. (BZ#661770)

• Under certain circumstances, the foomatic-rip CUPS filter could fail, causing

print jobs to pass raw data to the printer without being correctly filtered.
This was caused by a missing parameter to a logging function. This programming
error has been corrected and foomatic-rip now behaves correctly in the described
scenario. (BZ#726385)

Users of foomatic are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs.
