Package: printer-driver-gutenprint
Version: 5.2.10-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: d-i
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
I updated printer-driver-gutenprint and my printer stopped working, the
error in printing job said "The PPD version (5.2.9) is not compatible with
Gutenprint 5.2.10.".
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I deleted the printer and I reinstalled because it was impossible to change the printer
ppd. I selected a new one using the web interface, saved, but when I looked
again at the prenter's settings it was back to the original outdated ppd.
* What was the outcome of this action?
That did the trick and the printer is working again, but then looking at the logs
I noticed a message saying that running cups-genppdupdate.5.2 would have fixed
the problem.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I was wondering if it would be possible to run cups-genppdupdate.5.2 after
the package update, either automatically or interactively (i.e. asking the
user if he/she wants to run the ppd updater).
Also, I was wondering why it wasn't possible to change the ppd using the web
interface.
Here are the relevant logs.
Thank you and have a nice day,
Paolo
