Package: cups-filters
Version: 1.21.6-5
Severity: important
When I use "driverless" to generate a PPD for my Xerox B215 printer,
I get definition of InputSlot which does not work.
In particular, the printer reports that it supports media source "tray-1".
This is translated to "Tray-1" by driverless, so the PPD contains:
*InputSlot Tray-1/Tray 1: ""
When I submit a print job, CUPS's IPP backend translates this to IPP
media source "tray--1", which is later rejected by the printer (the printer
replies by a malformed IPP message, but that's another story).
The problem lies in the mismatch between name mangling rules in
cups-filters-1.21.6/cupsfilters/ppdgenerator.c (the pwg_ppdize_name function)
and
cups-2.2.10/cups/ppd-cache.c (the pwg_unppdize_name function). It is hard
to tell which one is wrong as the name mangling rules seem arbitrary. However,
at least one of them needs fixing.
I checked cups-filters 1.26.2 and CUPS 2.3.1 and the name mangling functions
stay the same, so the problem is probably still present.
