Summary: Review Request: min12xxw - Print filter for Minolta printer Product: Fedora Extras Version: devel Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: medium Component: Package Review AssignedTo: nobody@fedoraproject.org ReportedBy: lkundrak@redhat.com QAContact: fedora-package-review@redhat.com
Spec URL: http://people.redhat.com/lkundrak/SPECS/min12xxw.spec SRPM URL: http://people.redhat.com/lkundrak/SRPMS/min12xxw-0.0.9-1.src.rpm Description: This is a printer driver for Minolta printers.
It basically takes raw PBM input and adds Minolta protocol metadata. The protocol is documented in format.txt that is included in %doc of this package.
The upstream states that the code is in the beta stage, but as no known issues are known with PagePro 1200 1300 and 1400 I mean he only means that it is not feature complete and he wants to extends hardware compatibility to other printers using similar protocol (e.g. TallyGenicom 9316). So this is basically enough for drivers we ship that need this util.
This filter is actually attempted by a number of foomatic drivers actually includes this distribution, so they are all broken at the time. Including this tool would solve bug #242872.
