Hi Josh, and thanks for your bugreport, Le dimanche 4 juillet 2010 22:03:54, vous avez écrit : > Source: foomatic-db-engine > Severity: normal > > foomatic-db-engine 4.0.4-1 removes the foomatic-filters-ppds package, > but did not document its replacement. README.Debian still mentions > foomatic-filters-ppds.
Following Ubuntu, I removed foomatic-filters-ppds. I failed at documenting this properly in README.Debian, so this will get updated for the next release. > I do not want to have to run foomatic-gui or any foomatic-specific > package; I simply want to select a printer model in either the GNOME > system-config-printer tool or the CUPS web interface, and have it work. Doesn't it work ? I can add printers trough both the CUPS web interface and trough system-config-printer-kde (based on system-config-printer). What exactly doesn't work ? > If some part of foomatic can generate the PPD files on the fly and > expose the list of available models to CUPS without pre-generating all > the PPDs, that would work fine as a substitute; AFAIK, it does work, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong. > if so, please document which packages need installation to support that, and > perhaps provide a foomatic-filters-ppds transitional package to install the > necessary packages. There is no replacement package as the generated PPDs will be generated trough CUPS when needed (printer creation), and accordingly updated when foomatic-db gets updated (see its postinst). > Thanks, > Josh Triplett Regards, OdyX -- Didier Raboud, proud Debian Maintainer (DM).
