case.
I use cupsomatic-ppd, rather than foomatic-db, and that works great
for me. Your mileage may vary.
Thanks for the pointer, Keith. I'm not using cupsomatic-ppd for two
reasons. One, it doesn't include my printer (or didn't when I looked
into it) and two, the package descriptions says this:
For new installations please try foomatic-bin plus foomatic-db first.
