Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: cups
Hi,
after upgrading to karmic, my scripts to add printers through lpadmin do
not work anymore. When trying to add a printer e.g. like
lpadmin -p HP-LaserJet-1300 -m hp-laserjet_1300-ps.ppd -v
socket://192.168.1.1:9100
I get error messages of the kind
lpadmin: Unable to copy PPD file!
Neither relative nor absolute paths to the ppd file work. strace reveals that
lpadmin calls
/usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-driverd cat
with the given ppd file (-m option)
cups-driverd does not accept absolute paths.
when a relative path is given, cups-driverd looks under
/usr/share/cups/model , while the ppds are under /usr/share/ppd under
Ubuntu.
regards
