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?
