Sensible default indeed but, in practice, any PPD that produces valid PostScript output should work. > The README.Debian even complains about people getting this wrong, without > telling them what the correct thing to do is. That is incorrect. README.Debian tells them that using PPD _other_ than PostscriptColor is possible, but not supported. > I've 15 years Unix admin background, so the hint in the README.Debian > was sufficient, but the average end user told they need a specific PPD > file is not going to know where it might be, or how to get it, even > though it is included with this package. Okay the average end user > probably won't read the README.Debian file. The average also tends to file a dozen of bugs about CUPS' user interface, rather than bother with learning how to select the proper driver for their printer in CUPS' printer management page. -- Martin-Éric Racine http://q-funk.iki.fi
