Is this the place to get help with PPD problems?
I took a PPD file from a recent HPLIP and want it to work with CUPS on
MacOSX 10.5.8. It's not as simple as just using the "provide a PPD" link in the CUPS interface. That just gets me errors. The printer is this HP Officejet 7110: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/p...roduct=5327475 (And not this HP Officejet 7110: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/p...&product=91472 Why did they reuse the number? I have no idea.) First I started to get filter not found error messages, correcting to use the full path then gets "corrupt Nickname" error messages. I found source code that generates that message and I see that gutenprint (pretty sure) expects a version number to appear in the Nickname field. Editing the PPD to put in a version number gets me a new and different error. At this point I start to wonder if there is a better way. So, is this a problem I can get help with here? Elijah ------ a pox on HP for reusing model numbers on completely different printers |
