https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=387267 Summary: CUPS suppresses "recommended" info in PPD NickName Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Beta 2 Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Printing AssignedTo: kssingvo@novell.com ReportedBy: jsmeix@novell.com QAContact: jsmeix@novell.com CC: mzugec@novell.com, crivera@novell.com Found By: Development CUPS 1.3.7 on 11.0 beta2 suppresses "recommended" info in PPD NickName which makes it impossible for printer config tools to autoselect the PPD which should fit best for a model which leads to more or less randomly autoselected PPDs (=> MAJOR). The reason is in scheduler/cups-driverd.c --------------------------------------------------------------------- /* * Strip confusing (and often wrong) "recommended" suffix added by * Foomatic drivers... */ if ((recommended = strstr(ppd->record.make_and_model, " (recommended)")) != NULL) *recommended = '\0'; --------------------------------------------------------------------- See the discussion at http://www.cups.org/newsgroups.php?gcups.general+T+Q%22PPDs+in+the+NickName%... why distributors don't like this kind of removing information. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
