Bug Description

I was installing a printer Canon S330 (photo) in Feisty.
There was no such model to choose but I googled out that s600 model drivers works ok,
so I tried set S600 and it was succesfull and works correctly.

I thing S330 should be added to the model list (using the same driver as S600), because not everyone can find that information
(even there is no information about this model at openprinting.org database!) and people can easily set incorrect driver
of similarly named models BJ-330 or S300 that doesn't work with S330 printer.

Thanks for your bug report.
Can you attach the printingbuginfo script for some basic information about your printing setup and the exact driver you used. The printingbug info script can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrintingBugInfoScript.

Did you know that you can add information to the openprinting.org database: http://openprinting.org/edit_printer.cgi?newentry=1
If you do this, this information will end up in Ubuntu sooner or later since Ubuntu uses foomatic-db from openprinting.org.

Rejecting cupsys task, adding foomatic-db task.

I use bj8pa06n.upp - this works as far as I see...
I also fill a new entry to openprinting.org.

This bug was fixed in the package foomatic-db - 20090617-0ubuntu1

---------------
foomatic-db (20090617-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
    - Many new printer models added (Fixes: LP: #10871, LP: #83960,
      LP: #114681, LP: #121060, LP: #258058, LP: #273975, LP: #343444,
      LP: #371737).
    - More user-friendly UI strings for the "Print Quality" option in some
      Brother PPD files (LP: #141487).
    - Replaced broken PPD for the Kyocera FS-9100DN by the one for the
      FS-9120DN (LP: #344691).
    - Added "*cupsFilter:" lines to all PCL-XL PPD files from Ricoh and OEM
      so that they accept PDF as input format. This assures that always the
      most straightforward CUPS filter chain gets used and interferences
      between filters (like LP: #361772) get avoided.
    - Removed "Black and White" Color Mode (1 bit per pixel) from the
      "cdj550" driver. This mode is not supported by the driver (LP: #337133).
    - DesignJet driver assignement fixes, new "cdnj500" driver.
    - Correction of auto-detection strings.
    - Addition of CUPS custom option definitions to the PPDs from Ricoh
      family and OEM.
    - New "pxldpl" driver entry for the Dell 3010cn and Dell DPL printers
      in general.
  * Merge from debian unstable, remaining changes:
    - Driver entries removed for drivers which are not shipped by Ubuntu
    - Fixed manufacturer-supplied PPDs: "*CloseUI <option>" ->
      "*CloseUI: <option>", "*1284DeviceId" -> "*1284DeviceID".
    - openprinting-ppds-extra package with PPDs from Ricoh family and OEM
      and non-English PPDs from Kyocera
    - Linked PPD files with Foomatic database, so that links in the Foomatic
      XML files keep working.
    - Removed link into /usr/share/cups/model, it makes PPDs appearing
      twice.
    - debian/patches/bjc600-bjc800.patch: Removed workaround for Ghostscript
      crashing when feeding bjc600/bjc800 drivers with PDF. The Ghostscript
      shipped by Ubuntu is fixed.
    - foomatic-filters-ppds discontinued upstream, updated debian/control
      appropriately.
    - foomatic-db does not make sense without foomatic-db-engine and
      foomatic-filters, made the Recommends: a Depends:.
