Bug#396642: cupsys-driver-gutenprint: Install fails to symlink ppd's where cups can find them.

[Donovan Baarda <abo@minkirri.apana.org.au>]

Package: cupsys-driver-gutenprint
Version: 5.0.0-2
Severity: important


After installing cupsys and cupsys-driver-gutenprint and attempting to
"Add This Printer" for my Epson Stylus R220 from the CUPS webserver
"Administration" tab, I was presented with only 6 different basic Epson
driver options, none of which worked.

After much digging and searching I came to the conclusion that CUPS
was not finding the gutenprint drivers. The following website hinted
that *.ppd's should be found in /usr/share/ppd/;

http://wiki.debian.org/PpdFileStructureSpecification

The only files I found in that directory were misc *.ppd files
provided by other packages. The *.ppd.gz files generated by
cupsys-drivers-gutenprint are in
/usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint/5.0/en/. So I created the following
symlink;

/usr/share/ppd/gutenprint -> /usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint/5.0/en

After doing this and re-adding my printer, CUPS was able to find and
suggest the correct gutenprint ppd and everything worked.

Either the postinst for cupsys-driver-gutenprint should create this
symlink, or cupsys should be updated to look in the ../model/..
directory.
