Yes, cupsys-driver-gutenprint does need updating to meet the
specification.  However, the PPDs are generated by
/usr/sbin/cups-genppd.5.0 and /usr/sbin/cups-genppdconfig.5.0 and
auto-updated by /usr/sbin/cups-genppdupdate.5.0, and this will need
some work to update and test.

As an interim solution, a symlink will be the best solution, but I'll
have a look at fixing it properly this weekend.


Thanks,
Roger
