I can not configure my printer Epson Stylus D88 with foomatic-configure.
debian:/home/david# foomatic-configure -n escp2-d88 -N 'Epson Stylus
D88' -c /dev/lp0 -d gutenprint\ -p Epson-Stylus_D88 --ppd
stp-escp2-D88.5.0.ppd.gz
The PPD file 'stp-escp2-D88.5.0.ppd.gz' does not exist or is readable.
foomatic-configure does not know the path, so we give the path:
debian:/home/david# foomatic-configure -n escp2-d88 -N 'Epson Stylus
D88' -c /dev/lp0 -d gutenprint -p Epson-Stylus_D88 --ppd
/usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint/5.0/en/stp-escp2-d88.5.0.ppd.gz
lpadmin: add-printer (set device) failed: client-error-not-possible
Could not set up/change the queue "escp2-d88"!
Error. Let's gunzip the file
debian:/home/david# gunzip
/usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint/5.0/en/stp-escp2-d88.5.0.ppd
debian:/home/david# foomatic-configure -n escp2-d88 -N 'Epson Stylus
D88' -c /dev/lp0 -d gutenprint -p Epson-Stylus_D88 --ppd
/usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint/5.0/en/stp-escp2-d88.5.0.ppd
lpadmin: add-printer (set device) failed: client-error-not-possible
Could not set up/change the queue "escp2-d88"!
gunzip has no effect.
debian:/home/david#
That means that the ppd-file was gzipped was not the problem.
There is an error message from lpadmin which belongs to the
package cupsys-client. It seems to me that foomatic-configure does not
call correctly lpadmin.
It is possible that there are errors in the file
/usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint/5.0/en/stp-escp2-d88.5.0.ppd.gz -
I do not understand how it is created and/or from which package it comes.
I have *not* installed package ijsgutenprint.
For installing foomatic-filters, foomatic-db, and foomatic-db-engine,
cupsys-driver-gutenprint, gutenprint-locales, and libgutenprint2
from the testing distribution, to satisfy dependencies I also had to
install following packages from the testing distribution:
coreutils
cpio
cramfsprogs
dash
initrd-tools
libacl1
libsepol1
libselinux1
util-linux
zlib1g
tzdata
libc6
libslang2
netcat
sed
lsb-base
libncurses5
libxml2
xml-core
libc6-dev
locales
util-linux-locales
zlib1g-dev
