[Bug 61034] Re: Unable to add printer in Edgy

[Chorca]

Upon further investigation, i attempted using the web interface to
administer CUPS.

After selecting the port to add, it gives a list of drivers for the
iP4000. There are three to choose from:

1. Canon iP4000 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.0 (en)
2. Canon iP4000 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.0 (en)
3. Canon iP4000 Foomatic/gutenprint (recommended) (en)

There is no mistake, the first two are identical, i got the same results
after trying them - they both added the printer and printed test pages
flawlessly. However, upon attempting to add the printer with the #3
driver, the web interface returns with

Unable to copy PPD file!

This appears to be a problem with a file missing. Adding the printer
though the gnome-cups-manager interface works perfectly when using one
of the first two drivers, so-called "High Quality Image (Gutenprint)
(en)" in the dropdown, however, the "gutenprint (recommended)
(Suggested)" driver does not work and returns the 1280 error.

If the (recommended) driver is old/missing/misnamed, would that be the
source of this bug?
