Package: foomatic-filters-ppds

Severity: normal

Hi!

Here at the office we run the (I know quite proprietary) Epson EPL-5800L
Laser Printer. After a fresh installation of CUPS wit gutenprint and
foomatic printing the Test Page spawned an error in foomatic rip, which at a
closer look occured, because in the PPD Epson-EPL-5800L-epl5800l.ppd.gz
there is ijs mode specified:

> [...]
> *FoomaticIDs: Epson-EPL-5800L epl5800l
> *FoomaticRIPCommandLine: "gs -q -dBATCH -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE -sProcessCol&&
> orModel=DeviceGray -dBitsPerSample=1 -sDEVICE=ijs %A %Z -sIjsServer=ij&&
> s_server_epsonepl -dIjsUseOutputFD -sDeviceManufacturer=Epson -sDevice&&
> Model=EPL5800L -sIjsParams="%B" -sOutputFile=- -"
> *End
> [...]


That particular ijs server is not installed and so the printing fails:

This can be solved by installing the "aliened" rpm from 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/epsonepl/
because this contains the requiered /usr/bin/ijs_server_epsonep (the
remaining files are assigned to /usr/share/doc by alien), because
ijs_server_epsonep is not in debian.

Will it be possible not to use the ijs or to provide ijs_server_epsonep?

Regards,

Sebastian
