Package: openprinting-ppds
Version: 20100630-1
Severity: normal
Hi and thanks for maintaining this package!
I used to configure my HP LaserJet 1320 printer with the following commands:
# aptitude install openprinting-ppds
# zcat /usr/share/ppd/postscript/HP/HP_LaserJet_1320_Series.ppd.gz \
> /tmp/HP_LaserJet_1320_Series.ppd
# lpadmin -p lj -E -v parallel:/dev/lp0 \
-P /tmp/HP_LaserJet_1320_Series.ppd -D "HP LaserJet 1320"
# lpoptions -p lj -o media=A4 -o sides=two-sided-long-edge
# lpadmin -d lj
Now, I've just upgraded openprinting-ppds and noticed that
/usr/share/ppd/postscript/HP/HP_LaserJet_1320_Series.ppd.gz
seems to have disappeared from the package!
I couldn't find any clearly explained reason for that in the Debian
changelog, and no README.Debian seems to be present.
Why was this PPD file dropped?
How am I supposed to configure my HP LaserJet 1320 printer, next time
I install a (print server) box?
I would rather avoid searching for random PPD files on the Internet,
like I used to do long ago...
Could you please help me?
