[Pkg-hpijs-devel] Bug#511762: hpijs-ppds: Several ppds not working with newer cups

[Thomas Viehweger]

Package: hpijs-ppds
Version: 2.8.6.b-3
Severity: important

Due to the more strict interpreter in cups 1.3.8 I get the following error 
with /usr/share/ppd/hpijs/HP/HP_Color_LaserJet_2605-ps.ppd:

PPD file for Farblaser cannot be loaded!
Missing value string on line 122.
Hint: Run "cupstestppd /etc/cups/ppd/Farblaser.ppd" and fix any errors.

this is valid for 2.8.6.b-3 in Lenny and also for 2.8.12-1 in experimental.
(My printer URI in cups is: usb://HP/Color%20LaserJet%<sernum>.)

The ppds for this printer (HP_Color_LaserJet_2605.ppd) in
foomatic-db 20080211-2+nmu1 and
openprinting-ppds 20080211-2+nmu1
are correct. See also 
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=493104> or
<http://bugs.linux-foundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164>

Maybe it is possible to run the cupstestppd and remove/fix failing ppds during 
the build process of the deb?

By the way, the actual file in experimental contains many duplicate files 
compressed, uncompressed, small/uppercase letters.
