Foomatic 4.0.2 Released!

Foomatic 4.0.2 is released and now available for download.
foomatic-filters now supports cups-config to discover which directories CUPS uses for filters and backends. This makes the installation much easier, especially on systems where CUPS is at an unusual location. Fixed also compiler warnings.
foomatic-db-engine contains various fixes in the PPD file generator. Especially entries for boolean options in the PPD files were generated incorrectly if the setting of the boolean option modifies the renderer command line. Also JCL/PCL option entries were generated incorrectly if the option is under the control of a composite option.
foomatic-db-engine also listed PPDs for printer/driver combos where there is no driver XML file for the driver. This was leading to entries in printer setup tools for which foomatic-db-engine could not create a PPD file.
All these problems are solved in the new release. Thanks to everyone who reported the bugs.
Have a lot of fun with the new Foomatic release!
