Package: hpijs-ppds
Version: 3.10.6-1.1
On upgrade from Lenny to Squeeze a number of our printer queues
stopped working with the following error logged:
D [24/Jan/2011:08:54:10 +1030] [Job 449496] prnt/hpcups/HPCupsFilter.cpp 361: DEBUG: Bad PPD - hpPrinterLanguage not found
D [24/Jan/2011:08:54:10 +1030] [Job 449496] prnt/backend/hp.c 839: ERROR: null print job total=0
The upgrade also reset the default paper size to weird values on a
bunch of other HP printers. I found this info on the redhat bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=579355
I grabbed a copy of hpijs-3.10.9-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm, extracted the
hpcups-update-ppds script and ran it. This fixed all the issues caused
by the upgrade. Debian should have something like this for Squeeze.
