Description Tim Waugh 2010-10-14 15:18:44 UTC
Description of problem:
Although valid IEEE 1284 Device IDs can contain MANUFACTURER and MODEL keys, these must be replaced with MFG and MDL when using the InstallPrinterDrivers interface.

How to test:
1. Create /usr/lib/cups/backend/test:

==>
#!/bin/bash
cat <<"EOF"
direct test://foo "HP LaserJet 4000" "HP LaserJet 4000"
"MANUFACTURER:Hewlett-Packard;MODEL:HP LaserJet 4000
Series;COMMAND SET:PJL,MLC,PCL,PCLXL,POSTSCRIPT;"
EOF
exit 0
<==

2. Remove hpijs, gutenprint-cups, and foomatic-db-ppds packages

3. Using system-config-printer, add a queue for the dummy device

Should get prompted to install drivers.

Comment 2 Joachim Frieben 2010-10-14 16:07:15 UTC
Automatic driver detection works correctly for HP LaserJet 4000 after ugrading to system-config-printer-1.2.5-3.fc14. Retrieved packages include:

foomatic-4.0.5-1.fc14.x86_64
foomatic-db-4.0-20.20100819.fc14.noarch
foomatic-db-filesystem-4.0-20.20100819.fc14.noarch
foomatic-db-ppds-4.0-20.20100819.fc14.noarch
foomatic-filters-4.0.5-1.fc14.x86_64
gutenprint-5.2.6-1.fc14.x86_64
gutenprint-cups-5.2.6-1.fc14.x86_64
hpijs-3.10.9-1.fc14.x86_64
net-snmp-5.5-21.fc14.x86_64

system-config-printer then automatically defaults to driver hp-laserjet_4000_series-ps.ppd.
