Yes, sorry for my inaccuracy.

I got printer driver (fxlinuxprint_1.1.2-1_amd64.deb)
from FujiXerox site; http://www.fujixerox.co.jp/download/eng/
(in fact, I accessed a Japanese page of it).
It installed /usr/share/ppd/FujiXerox/fxlinuxprint.ppd.gz

When I installed CP310 with cups (web interface), I selected
PPD and a file fxlinuxprint.ppd.gz. But after installation,
cups shows a printer driver of CP310 as "Local Raw Printer".
And, of course, I can't print with CP310.

I update cups 2.2.5-2 and set CP310 but it seems there is
no corresponding PPD in /etc/cups/ppd/

$ LANG=C ls -l /etc/cups/ppd/
total 80
-rw-r----- 1 root lp 24814 Oct 17 08:59 CP310_dw.ppd
-rw-r----- 1 root lp 24814 Oct 17 08:59 CP310_dw.ppd.O
-rw-r----- 1 root lp 10713 Oct 13 06:52 ipsio.ppd
-rw-r----- 1 root lp 10705 Jul 24 07:12 ipsio.ppd.O

I guess CP310_dw is a PPD when I installed cups 2.2.4-7.
So I can't generate log.unstable and attatch only log.stretch.
If I misunderstand anything, please let me know.

Thanks for your response.
