Title:
/usr/share/ppd/1-local-admin exists after hardy -> lucid upgrade, not
showing splix drivers
Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: cups
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
cups 1.4.3-1
splix 2.0.0-2ubuntu3
system-config-printer-gnome 1.2.0+20100408-0ubuntu5.2
I recently upgraded my laptop (info provided from apport) from Hardy
8.04 LTS to Lucid 10.04 LTS through dist-upgrade. I then attempted to
add my Samsung ML-2510 printer originally connected to a Windows
machine. After being unsuccessful, I directly connected it via USB to
my laptop. No Samsung ML-2510 model was listed when I attempted to add
the printer through system-config-printer. I had used one of the
ML-2550 drivers on 8.04, but this wasn't working. I then connected the
printer via USB to my sister's laptop with a fresh install of 10.04.
Amazingly, ML-2510 was listed in system-config-printer with the SpliX
PPD driver. I selected it and the printer worked just fine.
So the issue seems to be that the SpliX drivers are not listed after
upgrading from 8.04 to 10.04, but it does appear on a fresh install. I
attempted to reinstall the splix 2.0.0-2ubuntu3 package on my laptop.
I verified that the /usr/share/ppd/splix directory had the appropriate
.ppd files on both laptops. After further comparing the contents of
/usr/share/ppd on both laptops, I realized that mine (upgraded from
8.04) had two symlinks not present on the fresh install: 1-local-
admin, 2-third-party. After removing the 1-local-admin file, system-
config-printer now lists the ML-2510 SpliX driver.
I found in this changelog
http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/c/cups/cups_1.4.2-9/changelog
an entry for 1.4.0~svn8773-1:
* debian/cups.postinst: Do not create the /usr/share/ppd/1-local-admin
and /usr/share/ppd/2-third-party links. They are not needed with current
CUPS and they also break the test procedure during package build.
I guess this would explain why the fresh install didn't have these
symlinks present, but since they were present on my 8.04 install, they
apparently were not removed during the upgrade.
I don't know why the presence of the 1-local-admin file caused the
SpliX drivers to not be displayed in 10.04. As for the bug, it seems
the upgrade process of cups packages (or whatever package is
appropriate) should maybe remove these symlinks if they exist. I'm not
sure what process would remove these, but it seems broken the way it
is now.
