Dell has probably many more PostScript printers, so adding this single PPD would not lead very far. The best would be to somehow get a collection of all PostScript PPDs from Dell. I have looked into downloadable drivers/PPDs from Dell, on http://ftp.us.dell.com/Printer/ (everything with extension .rpm, .tar.gz, .tar.Z, and some .zip). This looks a little chaotic, as for every supported model another engineer has made drivers and PPDs. Here someone would need to find all PostScript printer PPDs and put them together.
Another PPD source is http://www.cups.org/ppd.php and I am thinking about syncing all PostScript PPDs from there into the OpenPrinting database to get more PPDs in. Free software PPDs will get into the foomatic-db package, non-free but redistributable PPDs will be made available on OpenPrinting to be downloaded by system-config-printer. ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 374604 Kubuntu 9.04 ships no PPD for DELL 3110cn printer ** Changed in: foomatic-db (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist -- cups does not support Dell 5100cn color laser printer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145855 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
