As mentioned before the only problem is that both packages: foomatic-filters-ppds and hplip-ppds provide a symlink in /usr/share/cups/model. foomatic-ppds symlink points to /usr/share/ppd and hplip-ppds symlink points to /usr/share/ppd/hplip. These symlinks overlap each other causing gnome-cups-manager to think there are duplicate driver entries while they are exactly the same files. That's why there are a lot WARNINGs when you look at the terminal after running gnome-cups-add. ** (gnome-cups-add:6657): WARNING **: Two ppds have driver == 'hpijs (recommended)' ->hplip/HP-Business_Inkjet_1100-hpijs.ppd (HP Business Inkjet 1100 Foomatic/hpijs[1]) and ->foomatic-ppds/hplip/HP-Business_Inkjet_1100-hpijs.ppd (HP Business Inkjet 1100 Foomatic/hpijs)[1] You can check in this example that /usr/share/cups/model/hplip/HP- Business_Inkjet_1100-hpijs.ppd and /usr/share/cups/model/foomatic- ppds/hplip/HP-Business_Inkjet_1100-hpijs.ppd are the same file (using dapper). -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
