foomatic-db-nonfree (cups ppd files): init at unstable/2015-06-05
`foomatic-db-nonfree` contains -- similar to its sister package `foomatic-db` -- knowledge about printers, drivers, and driver options from OpenPrinting in xml files. It needs to be combined with the `foomatic-db` package to yield a working database. It also provides about 100 (gzipped) ppd files. In contrast to `foomatic-db`, this package contains data that is provided under non-free licenses. Quoting https://github.com/OpenPrinting/foomatic-db-nonfree/blob/master/README > This is a repository of PPD and Foomatic XML files that may > have restrictions that keep them from being used on a variety > of machines for licensing and other non-technical reasons. ppd files can be found in `$out/share/cups/model/foomatic-db-nonfree`. The subdirectory `foomatic-db-nofree` is used to avoid conflicts with other packages that might be combined with the package `foomatic-db-nonfree` in `config.services.printing.drivers`. ppd files in this package are *not* patched to call executables from the nix store: The only executable "rastertophaser6100" that is called from ppd files isn't available in nixpkgs. There is a daily snapshot of a source archive available at https://www.openprinting.org/download/foomatic/ . However, these files rotate daily and cannot be used as a stable download source. So we rely on OpenPrinting's Github repository instead and pinpoint a fresh commit. Note that the current version is from 2015, so updates are unlikely.

The collected knowledge about printers,

drivers, and driver options in XML files.
|

This is a package of PPD and Foomatic XML files
|
||||||
|
that may have restrictions that keep them
|
||||||
|
from being used on a variety of machines
|
||||||
|
for licensing and other non-technical reasons.
|
||||||
|
Besides the XML files, this package contains
|
||||||
|
about 130 PPD files, for printers from
|
||||||
|
Dell, Genicom, Lexmark, Oce and Xerox.
