[Charles Irons]

Hi Brian

Here are results of the tests you detailed:
chas at Charles-PC:~$ lpadmin -p test -v
hp:/usb/Deskjet_1510_series?serial=CN43B1D1DC05XJ -E -m
/etc/cups/ppd/Deskjet-1510-series.ppd
lpadmin: Unable to copy PPD file.
chas at Charles-PC:~$ lpadmin -p test -v
hp:/usb/Deskjet_1510_series?serial=CN43B1D1DC05XJ -E -m
/etc/cups/ppd/Deskjet_1510_2.ppd
lpadmin: Unable to copy PPD file.
chas at Charles-PC:~$ lp -d test /etc/nsswitch.conf
request id is test-2550 (1 file(s))
chas at Charles-PC:~$

Print job is continuing. Code 1002.
Deskjet-1510-series

No movement on the printer at all.

chas at Charles-PC:~$ cupsfilter -p /etc/cups/test.ppd -m printer/foo -e
/etc/nsswitch.conf > outfile 2>log
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
chas at Charles-PC:~$

Ubuntu error by cupsfilter. I sent error report so lost the details.
I repeated the command with same response but no Ubuntu error.

I really appreciate your persistence. Thanks again.
