I'm using Edgy 20060924 which uses dynamically generated PPDs now (since foomatic-db-engine 3.0.2-20060530-2ubuntu2). There are some pseudo drivers in foomatic-db that are only used to list supported printers on the linuxprinting.org website. It is not possible to generate PPDs from these pseudo-drivers since there is no Ghostscript command line. Adding a printer with a pseudo driver with gnome-cups-manager results in no printer being added and the user has no clue of what went wrong. This gives a very bad user experience. It would be nice to have the fix you mentioned in Edgy to avoid this. -- Can't add a printer in KDE: parser error? https://launchpad.net/bugs/42965 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
