foomatic-db is missing entries for some newer Brother printers (in Fedora13, 14 and rawhide). I own two printers for which the PPD files are not included in the fedora foomatic-db package: * Brother MFC-9840CDW * Brother MFC-8880DN The PPD files are available for download from Brother website http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/download_prn.html under the open-source GPL license. Compared to what's available in the foomatic-db-ppds-4.0-20.20100819 package, those PPD files are missing: http://pub.brother.com/pub/com/bsc/linux/dlf/BR7045_2_GPL.ppd.gz http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/BR8080_2_GPL.ppd.gz http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/BR8085_2_GPL.ppd.gz http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/BR901D_2_GPL.ppd.gz http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/BR9040_2_GPL.ppd.gz http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/BR9045_2_GPL.ppd.gz http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/BR3070_2_GPL.ppd.gz http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/BR4050_2_GPL.ppd.gz http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/BR4070_2_GPL.ppd.gz http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/BR5350_2_GPL.ppd.gz http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/BR5370_2_GPL.ppd.gz http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/BR5380_2_GPL.ppd.gz http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/BR7450_2_GPL.ppd.gz http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/BR784N_2_GPL.ppd.gz http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/BR7840_2_GPL.ppd.gz http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/BR8370_2_GPL.ppd.gz http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/BR8380_2_GPL.ppd.gz http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/BR8480_2_GPL.ppd.gz http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/BR8670_2_GPL.ppd.gz http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/BR8680_2_GPL.ppd.gz http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/BR8880_2_GPL.ppd.gz http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/BR8890_2_GPL.ppd.gz http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/BR901M_2_GPL.ppd.gz http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/BR9120_2_GPL.ppd.gz http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/BR9320_2_GPL.ppd.gz http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/BR9440_2_GPL.ppd.gz http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/BR9450_2_GPL.ppd.gz http://www.brother.com/pub/bsc/linux/dlf/BR9840_2_GPL.ppd.gz Maybe you could add those GPL files to the foomatic-db package (and push upstream?), so that other users can find their printers as well? Thanks, Helge
