Package: src:hplip
Version: 3.14.6-1
Severity: important

Hi!

While setting up a new print server on the network, we noticed that the binary
package printer-driver-postscript-hp is missing the PPDs for many postscript
printers actually supported by hplip.

Looking at the .orig.tar.gz:

glaubitz@jessie64:/tmp> tar tf hplip_3.14.6.orig.tar.gz |grep postscript
hplip-3.14.6/prnt/ps/hp-designjet_t2300_postscript-ps.ppd.gz
hplip-3.14.6/prnt/ps/hp-designjet_t2500-postscript.ppd.gz
hplip-3.14.6/prnt/ps/hp-designjet_t920-postscript.ppd.gz
hplip-3.14.6/prnt/ps/hp-designjet_z6800_photo-postscript.ppd.gz
hplip-3.14.6/prnt/ps/hp-designjet_z5400-postscript.ppd.gz
hplip-3.14.6/prnt/ps/hp-designjet_t1200_postscript-ps.ppd.gz
hplip-3.14.6/prnt/ps/hp-designjet_t1500-postscript.ppd.gz
hplip-3.14.6/prnt/ps/hp-designjet_z5200_postscript-ps.ppd.gz
hplip-3.14.6/prnt/ps/hp-designjet_t770_postscript-ps.ppd.gz
hplip-3.14.6/prnt/ps/hp-designjet_t1300_postscript-ps.ppd.gz
hplip-3.14.6/prnt/ps/hp-designjet_z6600-postscript.ppd.gz
glaubitz@jessie64:/tmp>

and comparing this list to the actual binary package:

glaubitz@jessie64:/tmp> dget printer-driver-postscript-hp
dget: retrieving file:/net/deb/debian/pool/main/h/hplip/printer-driver-postscript-hp_3.14.6-1_all.deb

Apparently the above files are not being installed during build and they
are also not installed into any other of the binary packages built by
src:hplip. This bug also affects the newer version 3.15.6 of hplip
in Ubuntu which is missing the PPD files for the OfficeJet Pro X476dw
printer we wanted to install on location.

Cheers,
Adrian

It's not. These are now compressed using pyppd, since version
3.10.9-1: They are in the /usr/lib/cups/driver/postscript-hp python
script.

$ /usr/lib/cups/driver/postscript-hp list | grep hp-designjet_t2300_postscript
"postscript-hp:0/ppd/hplip/HP/hp-designjet_t2300_postscript-ps.ppd" en "HP" "HP Designjet T2300 PostScript" "MFG:Hewlett-Packard;MDL:hp designjet t2300 postscript;"

CUPS uses these "PPD-compressed scripts" in /usr/lib/cups/driver itself
to extract the needed PPDs, and there should be little need for you to
need the PPD files directly.

You can always get the PPD file with calling the archive as follows:

$ /usr/lib/cups/driver/postscript-hp cat "postscript-hp:0/ppd/hplip/HP/hp-designjet_t2300_postscript-ps.ppd"

I'm therefore hereby closing this bug.

Cheers,
OdyX
