The problem described here is that if a printer driver package is updated, the PPDs of already installed print queues (in /etc/cups/ppd/) are not updated to PPDs of the new driver version. The only driver where such updates are done is the Gutenprint CUPS driver (package cupsys- driver-gutenprint). All drivers should have such a facility.
This problem occurs in all Linux distributions, including Debian stable, as it is a problem of the upstream printer drivers. You perhaps do not perceive the problem, as Debian unstable still uses SpliX 1.0.x, but you will suffer the problem as soon as any update replaces your SpliX by 1.1.x or newer. -- [hardy] upgrade issue Splix V. 1.1.0 but the PPD file is designed for SpliX V. 1.0 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193075 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
