Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: foomatic-db
The foomatic-db package makes several PPDs available for which the
distribution does not contain the appropriate driver executables.
The fix is easy and has no risk of regressions, so no problem to apply
it in Gutsy:
- Ghostscript has a bug in the Makefiles which makes some .upp files not
getting installed. This can be fixed by a simple patch of a few lines. These
.upp files were shipped with Feisty already and did not raise any complaints.
- Some drivers are really not included in the distro. Their XML files should be
removed from the foomatic-db package
These steps are very easy to implewment and cannot break anything (keep
in mind that a printer printing in a bad quality is better then a
printer not printing at all, especially if the printer setup tools list
the printer as supported).
