Bug Description
I am attempting to add a printer queue with samba, HP LaserJet 4P in the KDE printer admin. When I select the driver, I get a message saying
"Unable to load the requested driver:
Unable to create the Foomatic driver [HP-LaserJet_
I have also tried all other LaserJet 4P backends and a few other printers drivers.
This is on newest dapper, recently installed (=>pretty clean system).

The problem is with the CUPS access to the database. I got the same error when trying to install the HP 7110. Many others have gotten the error as well.
I downloaded the PPD file and then installed using that file instead of asking CUPS to access the data base and it worked perfectly.
