Re: Cups problem

[Hanasaki JiJi <hanasaki@hanaden.com>]

sarge says to use foomatic instead of cupsomatic-ppd.  cupsomatic works 
like a charm.  with just foomatic, no printes were available in the 
webinterface.  the foomatic-compiledb built the drivers in /boot (Dam) 
and they still were not available via the web interface.

===
Package: cupsomatic-ppd
 This package is kept to help upgrading.  For new installations please
 try foomatic-bin plus foomatic-db first.
