Binary package hint: foomatic-db

Epson LX-300+ printer is missing in OpenPrinting database, but this printer works fine with the ibmpro driver (I've tested with Ubuntu 10.04), see:
http://linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/openprinting/database/epsonfaq#Epson_LX-300.2B

Till: Can this be added to foomatic-db ?

[Till Kamppeter (till-kamppeter)]

I have added it upstream now. So a suitable PPD file is available on http://www.openprinting.org/ now. The Ubuntu package will come soon.

This bug was fixed in the package foomatic-db - 20110722-0ubuntu1

---------------
foomatic-db (20110722-0ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
     - Added 8 new Epson inkjet printers, 6 new Lexmark printers, and
       5 new printers from Ricoh and OEM, entries and PPD files
       supplied by the printer's manufacturers.
     - Added the Epson LX-300+ and the Dell 3000cn based on user reports
       (LP: #776326).
     - Added "-dNOINTERPOLATE" to the Ghostscript command lines, as this makes
       Ghostscript significantly faster (LP: #668800, Ghostscript bug #691755).
     - Renamed the choice names of the manufacturer-independent "InputSlot"
       options to not use tray numbers any more as the tray numbering varies
       with the manufacturer (Closes: #530600).
     - Fixes in the XML schema files which describe the format of the Foomatic
       XML files.
     - Install the XNL schema files, to be used by the new foomatic-verify-xml
       utility in foomatic-db-engine.
     - Several fixes in the Foomatic XML files, many discovered during the
       development work on foomatic-db-engine in the Google Summer of Code.
  * debian/foomatic-db.install: Include XML schema files in the foomatic-db
    package.
