That could be, but that was the only way I could get it working.

With that I get a cancelled job and the associated error message is:

Unable to convert file 0 to printable format for job 27!

Replacing gs-gpl with gs-eps made no difference when I tried this
earlier.

I only found it marginally useful when I read it a couple of days ago.
Configuration is easy, it's getting it working that is the hard part.

Anyways, unrelated to the issue that I filed.

foomatic-bin                                    install
foomatic-db                                     install
foomatic-db-engine                              install
foomatic-db-hpijs                               install
foomatic-filters                                install

either foomatic-bin or foomatic-db-engine I would think, but I suppose it could
also be foomatic-filters-ppds.
