CUPS 1.2.4 fixes a number of web interface, scheduler, and CUPS API issues. Changes include:

    * The --with-printcap configure option did not work (STR #1984)
    * The character set reported by cupsLangGet() did not always reflect the default character set of a given locale (STR #1983)
    * Older Lexmark and Tektronix printers did not work with IPP (STR #1980)
    * Failsafe printing did not work (PR #6328)
    * Some web interface redirects did not work (STR #1978)
    * The web interface change settings button could introduce a "Port 0" line in cupsd.conf if there was no loopback connection available (STR #1979)
    * The web interface change settings and edit configuration file buttons would truncate the cupsd.conf file (STR #1976)
    * The German web interface used the wrong printer icon images (STR #1973)
    * The "All Documents" link in the on-line help was missing a trailing slash (STR #1971)
    * The Polish web interface translation used the wrong URLs for the job history (STR #1963)
    * The "reprint job" button did not work (STR #1956)
    * The scheduler did not always report printer or job events properly (STR #1955)
    * The scheduler always stopped the queue on error, regardless of the exit code, if the error policy was set to "stop-printer" (STR #1959)
    * ppdEmitJCL() included UTF-8 characters in the JCL job name, which caused problems on some printers (STR #1959)
    * Fixed a buffering problem that cause high CPU usage (STR #1968)
    * The command-line applications did not convert command-line strings to UTF-8 as needed (STR #1958)

    * The cupsInterpretRasterPPD() function did not handle custom page sizes properly.
