all not-HP-hpijs printers missing

[Michele Cremasco]

Binary package hint: hplip-ppds

All the hpijs printers was removed from the pachage foomatic-filters-ppds and moved to the new package hplip-ppds, but in the hplip-ppds packages there are only HP printers and not all the printers using hpijs driver.

So now all not HP printer using hpijs driver (Kyocera, Canon, Samsung, etc.) are missing because they are not in foomatic-filters-ppds and also not in hplip-hpijs.

manteiner of foomatic-filters-ppds and hplip-ppds must spead each other better!

Have a nidce day.
Bye

I am sorry, as this bug is not a duplicate. Late night working, as I will take responsiblity for this mistake, I appoligize in advanced.

I confirm this bug using Dapper 6.06 LTS.
Packages foomatic-filters-ppds and hplip-ppds come from Debian.
I have written this Debian specification: http://wiki.debian.org/PpdFileStructureSpecification to improve interoperability between PPD providing packages from different sources and maintainers.
Inspired by this specification hplip-ppds in Debian has since been renamed to hpijs-ppds.
My idea was and is still that all hpijs PPDs belong in package hpijs-ppds and should be installed in /usr/share/ppd/hpijs. Currently only hplip hpijs PPDs are in this package. Could you please file a bug report upstream in Debian package hpijs-ppds to let the developer know there is a problem so this problem gets fixed for future releases. Howto report Debian bug is described here: http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting.

I have forwarded this bug upstream in Debian as http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=379863

Fixed in Edgy since foomatic-db-engine 3.0.2-20060530-2ubuntu2.
In Edgy dynamically generated PPDs from foomatic-db-hpijs are used now, foomatic-db-hpijs contains the necessary information to generate all hpijs PPDs (for both HP and non-HP printers).

Aaron, this is because of the debian bug watch.
You should be able to set the remote watch to none and then close the bug.

In current Ubuntu (Intrepid, Jaunty) the PPDs for the non-HP printers come from foomatic-db-hpijs and the PPDs for HP printers from the hpijs package.
