Thanks for the info!

Sadly, for lenny the autogenerated PPDs didn't autodetect min12xxw supported
printers, that's the reason for the recommends on foomatic-filters-ppds.
However I didn't dig further why this wasn't working back then.

If it turns out that this problem is gone nowadays, we could go back in sync,
what do you think?

Cheers,
