Why not take out PPD's that are a few years old perhabs 5 years?! Or all
those that are actually not supported from HP anymore and pack them in
to a seperate package named "hplib-unsupported-ppd" and provide them by
auto download+install when needed , would'nt that work?

The fdupes fix mitigated the situation a lot already. Instead of 5 MB,
the package is now just 2.2 MB bigger than in karmic.

I tried also to remove the compression of the individual PPD files
(*.ppd instead of *.ppd.gz) in foomatic-db, but this does not help much.
The sizes of the binary packages openprinting-ppds and openprinting-
ppds-extra reduce by less than 10% (o-p: 3311892 -> 3129502, o-p-e:
18184504 -> 17508048)
I have found a problem in the package which made the elimination of
duplicate PPDs not working on our build servers. I have uploaded a fixed
version (hplip 3.9.10-3ubuntu4) now. Here the size of the hplip-data
package actually reduces from 13.3 MiB to 10.7 MiB. That is not a lot,
but I hope this he

It seems that the real solution is what I mentioned in the last

Hi Till,
These issues are already in our list. The future HPLIP releases will
definitely address these. We won't be able to commit the time frame. But
certainly, they are priority issues for us too.
Thanks for your support for HPLIP.

pitti, I have implemented this now and committed it to the Debian BZR
repository of HPLIP, but unfortunately it does not reduce the size a
lot. There are 783 PPD files but only 65 duplicates. So the expected
reduction is less then 10 %.
A general check of /usr/share/ppd with
fdupes -r /usr/share/
To the developers of HPLIP at HP: Please do not ship absolutely
identical files more than once. Especially for PPD files CUPS chooses
the PPD only by model, nickname and device ID entries in the PPD, not by
the file name under which the PPD is saved on the disk. So adding the
same PPD with another

There's also a much easier potential for triming the package size, as
the livefs build's fdupes check shows:
BEGIN fdupes

4551360 12 379280 usr/share/ppd/hplip/HP/hp-laserjet_p4014-ps.ppd

appears the CDs are down to size again for alpha-1, so deferring this
bug.

The change is in the PostScript printer PPDs supplied by HP. They have
internationalized them, which means that all option menu items are
translated into around 10 languages now. This has blown up these PPDs.
The internationalization is based on a CUPS PPD extension
