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.

Closes: 396642
Changes:
gutenprint (5.0.0-3) unstable; urgency=low
.
* cupsys-driver-gutenprint: Move PPD files from
/usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint/5.0 to /usr/share/ppd/gutenprint/5.0, to
comply with the Debian PPD File Structure Specification
(http://wiki.debian.org/PpdFileStructureSpecification). The postinst and
postrm scripts have been updated to remove the old PPDs, generate new PPDs
in the new location, and to upgrade PPDs using the new location.
Closes: #396642.
* debian/control: cupsys-driver-gutenprint Depends upon cupsys or cups >=
1.2.5, so CUPS is guaranteed to find the PPDs in the new location.
