Search printers associated with drivers for a match when generating ppd. none

Description Marek Kašík 2014-11-13 11:22:31 UTC 
Created attachment 957135 [details]
Search printers associated with drivers for a match when generating ppd.

Description of problem:
foomatic doesn't provide some PPD files which it lists in "/usr/lib/cups/driver/foomatic list". Addition of some printers fails because of this.
It helps to traverse through list of printers associated with drivers when searching for the PPD file (see the attached patch).


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
foomatic-4.0.11-5


How reproducible:
always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. remove splix package, install foomatic-db and foomatic-db-ppds
2. run '/usr/lib/cups/driver/foomatic list | grep "Samsung ML-2010"'
3. run '/usr/lib/cups/driver/foomatic cat "foomatic:Samsung-ML-2010-gdi.ppd"'


Actual results:
"foomatic:Samsung-ML-2010-gdi.ppd" en "Samsung" "Samsung ML-2010 Foomatic/gdi" "DRV:Dgdi,M0,TG;"
ERROR: Could not determine driver name for Samsung-ML-2010-gdi.ppd!


Expected results:
"foomatic:Samsung-ML-2010-gdi.ppd" en "Samsung" "Samsung ML-2010 Foomatic/gdi" "DRV:Dgdi,M0,TG;"
`The PPD file for Samsung ML-2010`

Comment 5 Andre Robatino 2014-12-07 14:53:25 UTC 
I have a Samsung ML-1740 printer which could not be added, except by installing splix, and got the exact same output as above except for replacing "ML-2010" by "ML-1740". After removing splix, updating to foomatic-4.0.11-6.fc21, and removing the printer, it got added automatically when turned on. Adding karma.
