+SpliX is a set of CUPS printer drivers for SPL (Samsung Printer Language)
+printers. It covers several Samsung and Xerox printers. See ppd/*.ppd in
+the tarball for supported models. Only SPL2 and SPLc printers are
+currently supported; however, work is in progress to implement support
+for other SPL printers.
-Requirements: cupsddk (slackbuild available at slackbuilds.org)
+This requires cupsddk and jbigkit, both of which are available at
+SlackBuilds.org).
+
+IMPORTANT NOTICE:
+If you are upgrading your current version, you MUST delete your printer
+in the CUPS interface and install it again. This operation MUST be done
+since CUPS caches a copy of the PPD file, so if the PPD changes from one
+version of splix to the next, cups will still have the cached copy.
+
+
+IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT THE JBIG ALGORITHM:
+JBIG-KIT is an optional dependency for SpliX, but it seems that parts of this
+algorithm was previously or is still patented. To disable the use of JBIG, add
+NO_JBIG=1 when executing the build script:
+ NO_JBIG=1 ./splix.SlackBuild
+Unfortunately, JBIG printers (such as the CLP-600) won't work with SpliX if
+the JBIG algorithm is disabled.
