This is indeed a step forward and a possible clue.
cupsfilter -p /etc/cups/ppd/wf2530.ppd -m application/vnd.cups-raster
/etc/nsswitch.conf > wf2530.ras 2>log
produces a raster file for me. I would expect it to do the same for you.
/usr/lib/cups/filter/epson-escpr-wrapper 1 1 1 1 1 wf2530.ras > wf2530.data
produces a printer ready file from the raster file for me. From what you
relate in your initial mail, this is likely not to work for you and
wf2530.data will be empty.
Part of the strace log from running strace on the second command has
stat64("/etc/cups/ppd//usr/lib/cups/filter/epson-escpr-wrapper.ppd",{st_mode=S_IFREG|0644,
st_size=50341, ...}) = 0
access("/etc/cups/ppd//usr/lib/cups/filter/epson-escpr-wrapper.ppd", R_OK) = 0
symlink("/etc/cups/ppd//usr/lib/cups/filter/epson-escpr-wrapper.ppd",
"/tmp/5810d9a20db33") = 0
open("/tmp/5810d9a20db33", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 4
It seems a PPD file of size 50341 has been found and accessed. A symlink
is made to it in /tmp. The link /tmp/5810d9a20db33 exists and points to
/etc/cups/ppd//usr/lib/cups/filter/epson-escpr-wrapper.ppd. Opening it
shows wf2530.ppd.
Does the issue come down to whether you are having a link made? And if
it is not made, why not?
In another mail I wrote
cupsfilter -p /etc/cups/ppd/Epson_2530.ppd -m printer/foo -e
/etc/nsswitch.conf > file.out 2> wf2530.log
It is incorrect. This is better (and works for me):
cupsfilter -p /etc/cups/ppd/Epson_2530.ppd -d Epson_2530 -m printer/foo -e
/etc/nsswitch.conf > file.out 2> wf2530.log
Cheers,
Brian.
