Commenting out the version line (#version) makes pnm2ppa generate ppa output for 7xx, I forgot to add that in my test result table. Commenting out the version line was reported to be working by hansen12345 in bug #37660.

But you have an interesting point here, I did: $ sudo apt-get install --reinstall pnm2ppa and after reinstallation my /etc/pnm2ppa.conf also contains "version 710" by default. My original /etc/pnm2ppa.conf after dapper installation contained "version " causing printers not to work. So there appears to be another cause for this problem... Could it be that there is a problem with ubuntu installer causing misconfiguration of pnm2ppa package, how do we find out? ** Bug 46916 has been marked a duplicate of this bug -- HP DeskJet 7xxC, 820C or 1000C does not work out of the box https://launchpad.net/bugs/52814 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
