Hello! Upgrading from 5.2.10~pre2-2 to 5.2.10-2 from sid does NOT resolve the issue.
I have added sid sources and commented out testing sources, then upgraded to sid version the following packages (and pinned them): escputil 5.2.10-2 foomatic-db-gutenprint 5.2.10-2 gimp-gutenprint 5.2.10-2 gutenprint-locales 5.2.10-2 ijsgutenprint 5.2.10-2 The following packages are (double checked) same in testing and sid: foomatic-db 20140325-1 foomatic-db-engine 4.0.11-1 1) After that I restarted cups and tried to add a printer. Exactly same error came out: Unable to add printer Unable to copy PPD file. 2) After reboot, the situation is same Perhaps it is advisable to rollback to 5.2.9 versions of packages in testing? Because this issue *essentially breaks* the package. I will now 1) remove all the affected packages from system, make sure they are physically gone and reinstall them from sid, then recheck. If it does not work: 2) test a rollback to 5.2.9 of the five packages above now, must find it somewhere first... 3) will try to find previous deb of foomatic-db, and retest. Perhaps the issue is there. I will report back. Please reopen the bug. Thanks!
