Public bug reported:
In Ubuntu 13.10 I can't add printers from the commandline. For example
when I use the following command as root:
lpadmin -p i44hpneu -m "drv:///hpcups.drv/hp-laserjet_4250-pcl3.ppd" -D
"xxx" -L "xxx" -E -v socket://my-printer-url
Then the printer i44hpneu is created but it does not work. Another
symptom is that no /etc/cups/ppd/i44hpneu.ppd file is created. The
model/driver is listed in "lpinfo -m", so the printer-driver-hpcups
package appears to have installed correctly. Adding printers from the
GUI or the cups webpage is working. Ubuntu version 13.04 and earlier
work too.
(I'm mainting around 20 linux PCs so automating printer installation
from the commandline is a very convenient tool as I can prepare scripts
to do all the setup).
