CUPS 1.2.2 fixes several build, platform, notification, and printing bugs. Changes include:

    * Documentation updates (STR #1765, STR #1780)
    * CUPS didn't know about alternate character set names for Asian text (STR #1819)
    * The lpoptions -o and -r options did not work unless you specified a printer.
    * The lpoptions command incorrectly allowed users to set printer attributes like printer-type (STR #1791)
    * httpWait() did not flush the write buffer, causing "bad request" errors when communicating with CUPS 1.1.x servers (STR #1717)
    * Polling did not sanitize the printer description, location, or make and model strings like broadcasts did.
    * Polled printers did not show the server's default job-sheets option value.
    * The Samba password prompt was not properly localized (STR #1814)
    * Added a German translation (STR #1842)
    * The scheduler now creates self-signed SSL certficates automatically when using OpenSSL and CDSA for encryption, just as for GNU TLS.
    * The SNMP backend sporatically reported some printers as "unknown" (STR #1774)
    * The scheduler now forces BrowseTimeout to be at least twice the BrowseInterval value and non-zero to avoid common configuration errors.
    * The scheduler incorrectly returned printer URIs of the form "ipp://server/printers/classname" for classes (STR #1813)
    * Updated Japanese localization (STR #1805)
    * The scheduler's SSL certificate/key directory was not created on installation (STR #1788)
    * Added a mailto.conf man page and help page (STR #1754)
    * The parallel and USB backends no longer wait for the printer to go on-line - this caused problems with certain printers that don't follow with the IEEE-1284 standard (STR #1738)
    * The scheduler could crash on a reload when implicit classes were present (STR #1828)
    * The IPP backend incorrectly used the CUPS_ENCRYPTION environment variable to determine the default encryption mode when printing (STR #1820)
    * USB printing did not work on Solaris (STR #1756)
    * The scheduler sorted job priorities in the wrong order (STR #1811)
    * The scheduler did not automatically restart notifiers that exited or crashed (STR #1793)
    * IPv6 support did not work on NetBSD (STR #1834)
    * The EPM packaging file did not work (STR #1804)
    * The scheduler used up the CPU if BrowseRemoteProtocols was empty (STR #1792)
    * Custom page sizes did not work (STR #1787)
    * The SNMP backend could crash on some systems when SNMP logging was enabled (STR #1789)
    * Browsing could produce some funny printer names when ServerName was set to an IP address (STR #1799)
    * Fixed the log message for BrowseRelay (STR #1798)
    * Fixes to allow CUPS to compile on MirBSD (STR #1796)
    * The scheduler incorrectly set the FINAL_CONTENT_TYPE environment variable (STR #1795)
    * The pdftops filter incorrectly embedded a "produced by" comment, causing PDF printing not to work on some operating systems (STR #1801)
    * Sending raw jobs from a client system could cause the client's scheduler to eventually crash (STR #1786)
    * The scheduler now checks that the notifier exists prior to accepting a new subscription request.
    * The scheduler now reports the supported notify-recipient schemes based on the contents of the ServerBin/notifier directory.
    * Event notifications did not include the notify-sequence-number or other required attributes (STR #1747)
    * Allow/Deny addresses of the form "11.22.33.*" did not work on Linux (STR #1769)
    * cupsGetPPD() did not work if the scheduler was only listening on a domain socket (STR #1766)
    * The scheduler could crash advertising a class (STR #1768)
    * The scheduler could crash if the default printer was deleted (STR #1776)
    * Added a new default CUPS raster format (v3) which does not compress the raster stream in order to provide the same cupsRasterReadPixels() and cupsRasterWritePixels() performance as CUPS 1.1.x.
    * The cupsaddsmb man page listed the wrong files for the CUPS driver.
    * Some configure --with options did not work (STR #1746)
    * "Allow @IF(name)" didn't work if "name" wasn't the first network interface (STR #1758)
    * The lpstat command did not use the correct character set when reporting the date and time (STR #1751)
    * The cupsaddsmb command and web interface did not update the Windows PPD files properly, resulting in corrupt PPD files for the Windows client to use (STR #1750)
    * The cupsd.conf man page didn't describe the Listen domain socket syntax (STR #1753)
    * The scheduler no longer tries to support more than FD_SETSIZE file descriptors.
    * CDSA (encryption) support fixes for MacOS X.
    * The lppasswd program needs to be setuid to root to create and update the /etc/cups/passwd.md5 file (STR #1735)
    * 32/64-bit library installation was broken (STR #1741)
    * The USB backend now reports a "no such device" error when using the old filename-based USB URIs instead of the "success" error.
    * Increased the HTTP and IPP read timeouts to 10 seconds, as 1 second was too short on congested networks (STR #1719)
    * The SNMP backend now uses the device description over the printer-make-and-model attribute when the attribute contains a generic name (STR #1728)
    * Fixed another file descriptor leak when printing raw files (STR #1736)
    * Raw queues were not shared via LDAP (STR #1739)
    * The pstops filter didn't always embed PageSetup commands from the PPD file (STR #1740)
    * "make install" didn't work if you disabled all of the localizations.
    * The scheduler didn't always choose the least costly filter.
    * Fixed parsing of IPv6 addresses in Allow, Deny, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, and BrowseRelay directives (STR #1713)
    * Printers that were shared via LDAP did not get added to the LDAP server properly (STR #1733)
    * LDAP browsing would crash the scheduler if a required value was missing (STR #1731)
    * Special cases for the "localhost" hostname did not work, causing printing to not work when the /etc/hosts file did not contain a localhost entry (STR #1723)
    * Updated the Spanish translation (STR #1720, STR #1770)
    * Reverse-order page output was broken when N-up or landscape orientations were used (STR #1725)
    * The parallel, serial, socket, and USB backends needed print data before they would report back-channel data, causing problems with several new drivers (STR #1724)
