Robert Krawitz, the main-author of Gutenprint suggested to run cups-genppdupdate in RPM post-install: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Robert Krawitz Cc: gimp-print-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: ... How to compile Gutenprint with DefaultPageSize A4 ? .. My suggestion would be for the RPM package to have a post-install that runs cups-genppdupdate. If you think that that's too big of a hammer, or that you want some way of distinguishing between PPD files you supply and those produced by another copy of Gutenprint, we can suggest solutions. cups-genppdupdate is designed to be really simple and should be a lot easier than destroying and re-creating queues (and getting all the options right). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- 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.
