Bug Description
I try to configure a printer using the PPD file provided by the printer manufacturer. The PPD file uses a NickName containing a "/" (slash).
Adding the printer silently fails. I can choose the printer driver in the GUI (where I can see the slash in the listed name), but after clicking Apply and thus closing the Add Printer window, the printer does not show up in the Printers window.
If I manually edit the PPD file and replace the slash with a "-" (hyphen), I can add the printer without problems.
To post a comment you must log in.
which printer is this? is this a custom PPD file? If yes, please attach the PPD file.
