Package: cups-pdf
Version: 2.4.2-1
Severity: wishlist

After installing this package, when setting up a printer in CUPS, the user
must know that that file;

/usr/share/ppd/cups-pdf/PostscriptColor.ppd

Is the correct (or at least sensible default) to use in the CUPS (or GNOME) 
user interface as a driver.

The README.Debian even complains about people getting this wrong, without 
telling them what the correct thing to do is.

Presumably there may also be an issue with CUPS not accepting this information, 
as a hint to the user interface.  

But can we at least add this to README.Debian, and preferably hide such details 
from the end user entirely.

I've 15 years Unix admin background, so the hint in the README.Debian
was sufficient, but the average end user told they need a specific PPD
file is not going to know where it might be, or how to get it, even
though it is included with this package. Okay the average end user
probably won't read the README.Debian file.
