This is what I get:
root@desktop3:~# lpinfo -m | grep -E "PDF|pdf"
lsb/usr/cupsfilters/Fuji_Xerox-DocuPrint_CM305_df-PDF.ppd Fuji Xerox
lsb/usr/cups-pdf/CUPS-PDF_noopt.ppd Generic CUPS-PDF Printer (no options)
lsb/usr/cups-pdf/CUPS-PDF_opt.ppd Generic CUPS-PDF Printer (w/ options)
lsb/usr/cupsfilters/Generic-PDF_Printer-PDF.ppd Generic PDF Printer
lsb/usr/cupsfilters/HP-Color_LaserJet_CM3530_MFP-PDF.ppd HP Color LaserJet CM3530 MFP PDF
lsb/usr/cupsfilters/Ricoh-PDF_Printer-PDF.ppd Ricoh PDF Printer
I don't know where to go from here. Your CUPS seems to have no knowledge
of what is in /usr/share/ppd!
Incidently, what did you upgrade from? Jessie?
Thanks for the help.
Brian.
