Never mind problem is solved.

Formerly, the foomatic-db package has provided Foomatic data for the
foo2zjs and the m2300w drivers. So I have put the PPDs provided with the
drivers into extra packages to not have the PPDs listed twice (once
ready-made PPD from the driver, once on-the-fly-generated PPD from
foomatic-db).

Later I have removed all PPD generating data from the OpenPrinting
database which was provided by the driver packages, to do not have
duplicate Foomatic data and especially not Foomatic data which does not
match the driver version in use. After that the support for the printers
supported by m2300w and foo2zjs disappeared from Ubuntu as the -ppds
packages were now needed but not added to the seeds (I asked for it and
in an earlier posting in this bug report I told that it needs to be
done).

Now I have repackaged foo2zjs and m2300w so that there are no separate
-ppds packages any more. There is one binary package containing
everything. This means if the driver is there there are also the PPDs
and printers get listed.

Get Feisty packages for testing here:

http://www.linux-foundation.org/~till/tmp/ubuntu/feisty/foo2zjs/
http://www.linux-foundation.org/~till/tmp/ubuntu/feisty/m2300w/

The packages will soon appear in the Ubuntu repositories.
