* Fri Mar 17 2023 Dr. Werner Fink <werner@suse.de>
- Updated to 4.15

* Features:
- Replace the 'psmandup' utility with simpler 'lp2' to directly print
documents to a simplex printer.
- Remove the outdated 'psset' and 'fixnt', and simplify 'fixps' to
always process its input with Ghostscript.
- Use libpaper's paper sizes. This includes user-defined paper sizes
when using libpaper 2. It is still possible to define custom margins
using "Medium:" specifications in the configuration file, and the
one size defined by a2ps that libpaper does not know about, Quarto, is
retained for backwards compatiblity, and as an example.
* Documentation
- Remove some obsolete explanations.
- Reformat --help output consistently to 80 columns.

libpaper size (configured by the user or sysadmin, or the locale
default).

including CUPS support.
