Fixed In Version: cups-filters-1.28.7-13.el9
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
.Generic LF-to-CRLF driver is available in `cups-filters` With this enhancement, you can now use the Generic LF-to-CRLF driver, which converts LF characters to CR+LF characters for printers accepting files with CR+LF characters. The carriage return (CR) and line feed (LF) are control characters that mark the end of lines. As a result, by using this driver, you can send an LF character terminated file from your application to a printer accepting only CR+LF characters. The Generic LF-to-CRLF driver is a renamed version of the `text-only` driver from RHEL 7. The new name reflects its actual functionality.

Description Zdenek Dohnal 2023-08-07 16:26:29 UTC
Some users installed this driver to do LF -> CRLF conversion on non-text files and do not have any other alternative driver to do this.

So I will rename the driver to reflect its usage (there is texttotext filter for real text -> text conversion). This driver will be covered by Legacy printer application from pappl-retrofit in the future.
