Re: [opensuse] Gutenprint - OpenSuSE 10.0 - where are the PPD files?
-------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "Steve Jacobs" <stevetjacobs@gmail.com>
I've got OpenSuSE 10.0 installed to my desktop.
I want to use my Olympus P10 photo printer on the PC.
I installed Gutenprint 5.0.1, following the INSTALL & README files. It was written that Gutenprint includes PPD files for the printers it supports, and that they are usually found at /usr/share/cups/model/gutenprint.
I cannot find the PPD files anywhere on my system. I have restarted CUPS, and it does not list any Olympus printers when I try to add a printer.
I've tried searching the 'net for a PPD file for my printer, and all I found was a handful of sites explaining that the appropriate PPD was included with Gutenprint. (AAGGHHH!!)
I must be missing something ridiculously obvious here, but I'm stuck. Help?
Thanks, Steve

Thanks for the various tips. I haven't had a chance to pursue this yet, and likely won't until at least this weekend, but I didn't want you guys to think I wasn't appreciative. I'll post back with my results when I can. -- Steve On 10/2/07, lerninlinux@comcast.net <lerninlinux@comcast.net> wrote:
