Dear all,
we are using cups 1.1.20 on our Sparc running Solaris 10
5/09 where printers from XEROX and HP are to be used.
By copying the XEROX .ppd files to /opt/sfw/cups/share/cups
/model we are able to setup the XEROX printers via the GUI
where we select the relevant drivers under the Model XEROX
menu.
Now we want to do the same procedure with the HP printers:
Although we put some HP .ppd files to ../share/cups/model
Dir they didn't appear in the GUI's Model HP submenu.
Instead of that we see all the "foomatic/hpijs" models
stored under /opt/sfw/cups/share/cups/model/hpijs/HP.
Why? and 2nd question: Is there any way to force the GUI
to accept also the HP .ppd files under ../share/cups/
model Dir.
THX, Rainer

i think the problem is you are using an old release of cups. I'm using
cups from OpenCSW with HP printers, and if i need to add a new ppd, it
just work thru the url http://localhost:631
