Source: foomatic-db-engine Severity: normal foomatic-db-engine 4.0.4-1 removes the foomatic-filters-ppds package, but did not document its replacement. README.Debian still mentions foomatic-filters-ppds.
I do not want to have to run foomatic-gui or any foomatic-specific package; I simply want to select a printer model in either the GNOME system-config-printer tool or the CUPS web interface, and have it work. If some part of foomatic can generate the PPD files on the fly and expose the list of available models to CUPS without pre-generating all the PPDs, that would work fine as a substitute; if so, please document which packages need installation to support that, and perhaps provide a foomatic-filters-ppds transitional package to install the necessary packages.
