Apologies for using a bug report as a platform for moaning. :)

It is possible there is further progress to be made on this issue. But,
Tomoo, we need your help to do so. As a start we need the PPD for the
printer you are using. If your print queue is named "example" the PPD
should be /etc/cups/ppd/example.ppd.

Please attach a copy to the next mail you send to the bug report.

Regards,

Brian.
