Re: Parameters to program are not passed over correctly
Which printer setu tool are you using? Are you using foomatic-gui? Note
that this program is no maintained any more and does not come from
OpenPrinting. It is based on the printer/driver relationship information
being provided in XML format. As this is very space-consuming and slow,
I have deprecated this format for end users and demoted it to be only a
VCS-friendly source format. End users get the information now as highly
compressed PPD files in
/usr/lib/cups/driver/foomatic-db-compressed-ppds. This takes much less
space and is compatible with all CUPS-conforming printer setup tools,
but not with the deprecated, not standard-conforming foomatic-gui.
So if you are using foomatic-gui, uninstall it and use
system-config-printer, gnome-control-center, or http://localhost:631/
instead. All these tools show you the available drivers.
